Finally got around to taking some pics of my new wheels.

You can see them on. As well as pics of the old wheels. Sorry, they're too big to post here.

My Corsa (http://members.optusnet.com.au/ayap72/corsa/mycorsa.html)


They are Lenso GT-R's 17x7 with Kumho ASX KU-21 tyres.


What do you think?

They do look really good - they suit the car well.

I like them heaps too because it looks as though the brake dust would hide a little better because of the style/colouring of them... Very nice :)

That brake dust is a pain in the arse huh?

Thats one of the reasons why i chose these wheels, they are much easier to clean than the old ones which took longer than the actual car.

Tyres are tons better too.

Yes I agree with you and those wheels you had on before would be a bitch to clean. My brake pads are 50% worn, so when I get new ones I will go for the kind I put on my SB, don't know what they were but there was minimal brake dust.

I just use Meguiars wheel cleaner and it takes care of it. But your wheels are good. Do you mind if I ask how much?

Amazing what the difference wheels do to looks of a car, especially big wheels and nice design like these.

Yep, 205/40R17

They were $1800. But this is mainly because of the tyres, i got some pretty exy tyres.


I was quoted $1650 with BF Goodrich G-force sports. But the Kumho's are meant to handle better in the wet. And they do handle very well in the wet.

Lovin the wheels, a Corsa C/Irmscher lip would look good on there

they're different...looks pretty nice...Rays look-alike...

like the dish bit on them...would look really nice when rolling...

agree about a bit of lowering; only a bit; but looks good mate
