Today I got some 17" rollas and rid of the 4wd look :D

Now its one Sxy Astra :D :D :D :D :D

[gaero]

Sweet! What are they?

BSA 291's shadow chrome (only single bling for me, RK/autumnacid are the bling bling kings)

[silvestra]

Mmm, they look lovely.

[Nem]

Yeah I rekon they're friggin' awesome.
What size/PCD/offset are they?
Were you drunk when you took the photos? :P

[Degen-Astra]

I was trying to figure why there was only 4 studs. And realised its an SXi with a SRi wing!
Confused the crap outta me!
But they look nice as!! Good space between spokes...now just paint those calipers! :wink:

[gaero]

17", 100, 40

You gotta pay me royalties for using that dodgy technique! :P


Love the mags btw.. absolutely LOVE it!
They have one of the bestest shapes, that go all the way to the edge. Awesome stuff!

[gaero]

Thanks for the comments guys,
Still can't believe its the same car I had before, completely changes the look.

Today I did last weekends sydney cruze except in the opposite direction just to see the difference in dynamics, I have now discovered why you guys get excited about twisties and bends, the car just sits level and hugs the corner all the way :twisted: no more dancing on the brakes

And from what I hear, I'd say you would be expecting payment in KK dounuts????? :lol: or maybe energy drinks????? :lol:

[Alfonzo]

Simply beautiful. I love the shadow chrome look against the silver.

I don't think they come in 5x110 though :(

V energy drinks will do fine :P

[Mitch]

I like it heaps, how much did you lower it?

[Bernard Siong]

colour coding it would make it look ultra smooth

[Anonymous]

hey gareth!

They look wicked man, suit the car to a T. !

I reckon your car would look nice with the SRi front lip!

Trust me, absolutely changed the whole front look of the car!

Thanks don,
mmmm I agree the front bar area does need some attention

[gaero]

Thats what I thought before last friday, now I not so sure :? cause the wheels are no longer the silver grey colour but shadow
maybe when I decide what to do with the front bar

[Anonymous]

Well, in my biased opinion, you can't go wrong with the SRi front lip due to the fact that it

a)follows the lines of the front bumper, i.e the louvres
b)follows the lines of the sideskirts
c)has the same texture as the side skirts and impact strips
d)has, in fact the same clearence as the lip the SXi, city, CD, CDx have already
e)it is abs plastic--- will sustain some bumps, won't chip like fiberglass, and wont crack!
f)you don;t really need to get it colour coded!

I'd only go for an aftermarket kit if you were considering buying a WHOLE kit.
