That offset is PERFECT! But IMO, they are too big. I'm not a huge fan of large wheels on these cars. Nothing bigger than 16" as that to me is just right. Any bigger and it looks as if the wheels don't fit the car. But thats just me. If you like them thats great, just not my cup of tea.

On a side note, I read somewhere that the diameter of the wheel doubled should not exceed the height to the top of the fender line. General rule of thumb for cars and if you ask me, it works.

mperformance- Rear is lowered approx 3.75" i'm running KYB's front and rear with Aroura springs (I have some Ground Control cloilovers going in the front soon) front is 2.25" lowered

Directfreak- the colour is from Chrysler 300C

xlr8planet I want to paint them metallic charcoal eventually and will probably have them on my 1500 estate most of the time

Nice set of wheels you got there!

Here's a quick one of mine:


I'd love to get my hands on US/AU spec tail lamps for the SA. The European's have the organge turn lamps on the corner, and it looks so f*cking ugly

Regards,
Frode

What's the ring around your door lock cylinder? All the ones I've seen are black.

13 beef you have the same door locks as me. I like the fact that you cant shove a screw driver or other flat objects into the lock to open it. Some things APC made are ok. hehe

13beef,
17's look great on your 7! Did you get the adapter customer made?
Did you need to roll your fenders to prevent rubbing?

Yes,adaptors were custom made to suit my application. Front and rear fenders have been rolled.
Just waiting for some new press studs so I can get all four wheels on the car.

twinkletoes- I'm hanging on to the challengers.
Brand new price is only around $230AUD per rim for 15"x7"s in 4x110 with +20 offset
