Hey mikey

guess I cant fit the bov today, pooring rain. so much for planning to do it once getting the car back from ford.

hopefully the fpv dash cluster works >.<

Guys what you recon I should do rim wise?

Considering copy dark agents vs advanti infernos vs advanti gauntlets.

agents = $700 change over ftw.

other options

Staggered.. Inferno or gauntlets same price..

$2600 Kuhmo 225/35 front, 275/30 rear 9.5 ( 1400 change)

$3200 Falken 245/30 front, 285/25 rear 9.5 ( 2000 change)

I was gonna try and get 22's, guard mods etc involved thought not worth it

I wouldn't bother with the dark argent copies... Especially if you have to pay extra on top of your genuine rims

Whack the originals on ebay & they'll get snapped up pretty quick! Go the gauntlets if they have a staggered option cause they look mint... Well on Bluute's ride they do

Cheers for the linky Mike :thumbs:

Aaron, I never kid around. If it's gotta be done to support my weekend nightlife I'll do it without hesitation

Yeah wanted to check if blu was ok with it first. As long as im not going to get stabbed in the face I will get them

Now just tyre options...

Kuhmo 225/35 front, 275/30 rear 9.5

Falken 245/30 front, 285/25 rear 9.5

I hope the $600 step up is justifyable... like tyre grip/quality wise and look wise...

whats your thoughts?

kice, yeah man its pissing down pretty hard here. Its stopped at the moment though, it should only take you 3 minutes to install it. You could do it in stages in between all the rain if you wanted too

Aaron, yeah I'll probably be a lot closer to yours now, until something breaks.. and then I'll be slow again hehe

Not that its a competition or anything, but so long as we both kick Expensive Daewoo ass, then that's the main thing

Dean, if u need a partner let me know, I could do with some extra $$ these days hahaha I could do the electrical work in your back shed to hook up the drug lab or something if ya need

Kuhmo KU31's are a nice tyre but not sure about the Falken's... Can you get a 245 in the Kuhmo? I'd go 245/35 F & 275/30 Rear. Got that combo on mine at the moment in Sumitomo HTRZ's & can't complain!

[Guest]

Mikeyyy nearly time for your car to be staying with mine aye?

Staying with or passing??

[XF Falcon]

I won't complain if it starts passing

[Guest]

Haha I bet you wouldn't

Have you got the strengthened flex plate already Mike?

*cough* marangoni mythos *cough* *cough* they shit on KU31's *cough*

[Guest]

Still haven't been in a car with the Marangoni's fitted so can't comment. Only ever heard good reports though!

Cheap Brembo's for anyone interested...

Rims that may be worth a look at for Kice. Cheap enough so that you could keep your originals as well
