along the same lines here...
except it was get f***d...
that is ridiculous...
wonder if they recalibrate the speedos when they fit them? imagine the tyre noise...
would hate to pulll them off the car to balance them, theyre prob comp balanced... on car...
they still look like plated plastic like all rims that style though...

See the first set has been sold to Bam Margera for a little under $150k! The dude has way too much money. Was watching viva la bam last night and Johnny Knoxville cut the back section off Bam's new hummer with a recipro saw for a joke! I guess if you're cool with your mates chopping up your new hummmer, then you'd have the cash for 30s!

Have you seen the episode where bam gets tim glomb to cut a hole in the roof of his brand new 250k lambo, that mental purple one he bought when vito trashed the hummer? Bam goes to get some music star and they get talking about bam needs a 'moonroof' aka, sunroof, so bam gets tim glomb to cut a whole in the roof with a recipro saw, now thats, too much money

Yeah seen that. I so want glombs job! Bam is worth so much its not funny. and who would have thought that could all come from just being a little *****! Most of the stuff he used to do was crazy physically, now its just shock value from the sheer amounts of money he can throw away on stuff that just makes you cringe. Wait til those new 30 inch rims get cut up with an oxy and welded onto don vitos bonnet or something rediculous like that.

Would probably cost more per km in rubber then fuel & that's saying something with a H2.

There is a guy in Melbourne running 22" rims on his VT GTS. At first i was a bit sceptical but they look awesome and it's something differnt.
It is the way of the future with cars these days coming out with 19"/20" rims as an option

There is nothing wrong with these new wheels.
They will be very popular and soon to be fitted to all HSV vehicles. :hihi:

For that price it would want to come on a new car already fitted.
