Picked up some new wheels for my Monaro

The black accents the stripes and spoiler I had painted.

With the nitrous kit, I hit 12.9 at 110 at the track a few weeks ago. Headers cut outs and tuning are next, should be good for low 12's once all the torque management crap is gone.

I know its only perception but the Vauxhall looks bigger than the Holden which looks bigger than the Pontiac. It depends on the environment they are in.
Weird.

what size wheels are they? Its probably just me but they look as though they are smaller than the standard wheels - kinda look a bit lost under the arches and the tyres look kinda big compared to the skinny bit of rubber on standard wheels.

I do like the stripes and the spoiler though.

ignore me - just worked out what it is thats making it look like smaller wheels - its the silver rim thats doing it.

That is dead pretty that is.

The wheels are the same as the stock 17's.

That might explain it - the UK monaros are fitted with 18" wheels as standard on the CV8 version, 19" on VXR.

Joe, I noticed you said you were going for exhaust cut outs. What make would you be going for? I have just received mine from DMH. They look great and are guaranteed for 4 years. Cool car by the way!
