Awesome........although the size of the vehicle takes some of the impact away...

I should put up some pics of my mates slammed VZ wagon with flares and 22's :D

[reedaaron]

[maloo97]

Lol. Why oh Why.

its just a rubber band stretched around it :p

[EL BURITO]

thats how hey had it at the Perth motor show

[bornwild]

That's just moronic

[EL BURITO]

I like 4x4 with big wheels. completely kills the point of the car but love the look

[btm]

i'm with you on that one... looks the biz

[bornwild]

Those rims are what....$10k?

[btm]

imagine how much a tyre is :eek:

[bornwild]

Imagine how much more strain that puts on the engine.

[EL BURITO]

Those rims are what....$10k?
probably less then 1/2 that.

[Apex]

Must look like a roller skate :D

I would have put the cost of the wheels towards a better vehicle :confused:

[btm]

Imagine how much more strain that puts on the engine.

its got a 3.8L V6 MIVEC engine in it pumping out 184kW and 329Nm

[rusole21]

Imagine how much more strain that puts on the engine.
oh if we only thought about the poor poor engines everytime we did something to our car. :clap:

[EL BURITO]

that car costs 50k plus on rds

[bornwild]

probably less then 1/2 that.

No way....last time I checked 20" cost around 4-5k!

[EL BURITO]

No way....last time I checked 20" cost around 4-5k!
those in 20"s cost $2100

[bornwild]

so they're some cheap ass rims...meh

[xplosv57]

Not really a fan of black wheels, but it would look decent with 24" wheels, theyre getting ridiculous now!!!

I remember the days when 18s were big, so my mate got 19s and everyone couldn't stop talking about it!! Now 19s are standard on alot of cars!!!

[cyclonic]

If it was absolutely slammed, then I might be down with it (geez, how white do I sound?).

[low astra]

honestly big rims n street tyres on a 4wd seem shit to me, might look alright but lets see him get on a beach or play in the mud or anything like that,

im looking for 32" muddies to go on my stoko 15" rims get that big tuff truck look, hopefully

[entice]

just a really dumb question...

but how is it possible to find:
1. rims
2. even more so.. tyres

that are correctly load rated for that vehicle?
aftermarket correctly load rated rims and tyres are a big issue.. esp for utes and 4wd's.

We've tried to get 17"s for a Hilux (14C standard) and are having massive headaches in trying to do it properly.. spoke to an engineer, and they didnt want to touch it....

[bornwild]

Simple answer, people who buy those huge rims don't even know what load rating is.

[nicecar]

what are the profiles of the tyres, 30 ?

[R3N]

what are the profiles of the tyres, 30 ?

without knowing the width, profiles wouldn't tell us much

Yea, my old man brought a new Falcon in 1994 and it had 17" wheels, I thought they were massive!

I had 19" wheels on my old commodore (in 2000) and I got the same reaction as your mate! :eek:

[btm]

these days its not uncommon to see a highlux or a hummer sitting on 26" ++

[Ishley]

If they were gold


Imagine how much more strain that puts on the engine.
about a bee's dick

I like them, i think they look awesome with bigger wheels


so they're some cheap ass rims...meh
Genuine 18" SRiT wheels = $2000-3000 = Holden ripping us off

I dont think when the person brought it, that he had the intention of taking it to the beach or up a muddy trail.

The most work out it will probably ever get, was going up that slightly snowy mountain road....... Still I like the look.

[bornwild]

I agree that the Holden rims are rip off but rims such as BBS, Enkei and Oz certainly aren't. Those 24"s are cheap ass rims for what they are, not for who made them.

And 'about a bee's dick' is a very wrong answer for 'how much more strain does it exert on an engine'.

Anyhow, those rims are fugly. If he wanted to be a knob and buy 24" rims, then do it in style. He could have at least picked some decent 24" rims....

[low astra]

its a 4wd, the strain on the engine isnt shit, load it full of camping gear and tow a boat or caravan, thats the strain a 4wd will feel, it will just feel like it always has 4 pasengers instead of 1 with those rims


aparently none of the insurecnce companys will insure anything over a 22" rim anyway....

[sriboy]

Yes it does look shithouse, it just needs taller rubber on them! Maybe 60 profile????? And the car needs lowering!

[PaulyJ]

FYI
Those aren't tyres on the rims. They're black ribbed condoms stretched to fir 24" rims.

[Wraith]

[btm]

LOL this threads gone pear shaped........ :D

don't they all? :D

[Wraith]

True, dosn't take much to flip the topic :)

[dfl8ed]

4x4 look much better dumped on big wheels like my mates Land Cruiser rolls on 22 inch Billet intro's.

I couldn't upload the pics for some reason
http://www.streetsourcemag.com/uploads/Ownerprofiles/LVNLOWinoz/428200794101PM2751.jpg

[btm]

i cant view the pic :(

[reedaaron]

oh..my...god...

that just looks weird... but i still think it's better than the pajero with condoms on the rims..

[dfl8ed]

[rusole21]

man that is the best thing iv ever seen!! your mate is a legend!

but what about the strain on the road and the metal. didnt he think about that?? what a moron!!- who does that sound like??:rolleyes:

[btm]

:eek: bull shit... you've got to be shitting me...???

the 2nd pic is shopped for sure... and so is the first one... right?

[poita]

nah its all legit man
if you have a look at the link they've basically taken teh shell of a 100 series, put in on a fully custom set of chassis rails.
the whole floor pan everything is custom.

[Ishley]

It take's alot of balls and know how to do something like that. I personally dont like it (thumbs up for originality), i prefer the look of that Pajero.

[poita]

waste of a good 100 series

[btm]

that is insane!

is it on hydrolics too?

[bornwild]

And the point of a 4wd dumped to the ground is........?

[btm]

its cool :cool:

:D

[Wraith]

Poita, that SLAMMED-MOBILE is effin HOT !!!

I love it :D

[Wraith]

And the point of a 4wd dumped to the ground is........?

To create gasping, jaw dropping faces :eek: every where it goes LOL :D

[bornwild]

Get a bloody car :D

4wds are meant to be broad-shouldered with an aggressive stance, imposing authority....not some eeny-weeny pussy-mobile creeping on the ground :D

[btm]

4wds are meant to be broad-shouldered with an aggressive stance, imposing authority....
i still does all of those plus more IMO

[Wraith]

I was going to say similar to BTM above........

If anything Bornwild, that thing is more imposing than ever slammed the way it is, it looks even more broad shouldered and aggressive :)

[btm]

I like it a lot :D

Well I'm glad most of you like his Land Bruiser(name of the ride). He bulit it to be differnent and I think he did achieve this. The Truck scene in the USA want it sent over to do there show scene, so I think thats a big achievement.
To the stock 4x4 with big wheels, I think they look more silly than his as why have a 4x4 that is even more a soccer mums shopping trolley than an actual 4x4 that will see the mud!!!!.
Oh by the way it's about to have a supercharger installed, he was going for a twin turbo set up on the lexusV8 but decided not to.
I'm sure you will see it at the summernats and can accept how mean it looks.

[Nem]

There's a Land Cruiser up here getting around with something similar to the 24's although the Cruiser's look bigger. I'll grab a pic next time I see it. It's not slammed on its belly though.
