Very nice Mat, well done - a nice set of alloys make such a difference :)

Now I wouldn't be me if I didn't add the following, but seeing you all know my affinity with wheels, I just wanna say BIGGER would've been better hehehe :D

But that's just me :o

bahaha 17x7 is heaps big enough for a Barina for looks and handling...

[Wraith]

True that :)

I'll bet in the flesh they have a real striking appearance :)

Awesome stuff ;)

thats not bad, especially with decent tyres.

now drop it like its HOT!

Be Careful with Falken Tyres, They have a habit off going Hard.
And you know what happens to tyres going Hard, They don't grip.
I swear by Falken(Now Sumitomo)Road/Race Tyres(RT215), My last experience with Falken Road Tyres(ZE502 Ziex & XXX GRBII Silica) Those got Hardened & Traction in the wet was Futile, Even in the Dry.
I put my BBS RX(17x7.5") with Falken Ziex ZE502 on my Mums MY04.5 Barina & she slid into a Gutter. No ABS or Traction Control is a Killer. Especially in Barina's, They lock the Brakes at a Moments Notice. The your the Passenger of the Car.

Yeh, havn't had any bad experiences with Falkens. Only Pirelli's... Had a similar experience your mum did, absolutely no grip. And the emergency brake assist without ABS is rediculous as it applies full brake pressure, therefore locks up.. More the Barina's EBA system than tyres.

Thanks chief. It'll be a 35mm drop, so will elimate that gap between the rear tyre and guard nicely. I'll be sure to post up pics as soon as it's done.
