Whitewalls and hubcaps will look sweet against the two tone pink body (like Russell's car at the Nats). Look forward to seeing it Dave.

Been a while since I put anything on here. Got some new wheels and tyres, totally change the look of the ol girl. Really happy with the result.

Looks so much nicer with the stock wheels and whitewalls . You can barely notice the rear ones sitting a bit further in than normal.

Just needs to be raised a bit :lol: :mrgreen:

Good stuff Dave, Rosie's looking sensational. Now how 'bout some shots of you're striping. From what I've seen that's looking as good as Rosie too! :thumbsup:

Dave,

Wow! from tough to 50s cruiser with a set of wheels/tyres and striping. Amazing how little things can make such a big difference. You're striping efforts are impressive!

I think whitewalls always look better on the darker coloured FB EKs. Whitewalls seem to get 'lost' in the lighter colours.

How much has it been lowered and whats tyre size?

Thanks for the comments guys, appreciate it :thumbsup:

Stewart, the car was this height when I got it, so I dont really know how far its been dropped. The tyres are Maxxis, 185/80/r13, and they are the same rolling diameter as the original factory tyres. They actually do have a thin white band on the tyre, but I like the look of the thicker white wall hence the flappers.

Dave...that FB looks plain FANTASTIC!!! :thumbsup: 8) 8) 8) 8)
Your scroll work came out a treat..(I hate you... as I cant scroll for SH*T :wtf: ) :lol: :lol:
The rims look great in the "flash" colour and the "H" badges on the hub caps plus wide white flappers make it perfect!!
If I saw that thing on the road I'd be likely to have an accident from looking at it and not the road!!
Looks like you have won my 'favorite FB sedan on the forum' award!
