Yeah he is a good bloke, very helpfull, he may of been a bit dismayed I didnt buy wheels today but I want to make the right choice - got to see what all three sets look like

Although I didnt realise the Charcoal ones would look so good :

I am more swayed to the silver ones but we will see what the 19" Cobra Machined Face look like when they arrive in 4 weeks :( :(
Yeah Greg is a top bloke. He helped me heaps and was very patient with all my quires. And best prices for wheels and tyres, I wouldn't go anywhere else, in last 12 months I bought 2sets of wheels and 3sets of tyres from him.

I have 255/40/17 on 17x9 rear rims. The car sits on SLs and I rolled the guards. No scrubbing issues.

Your car I believe sits on SSLs at the back, ORSM4L Simon's car had 255s on 19x8 typhoons, same rear springs as yours.

Legally I believe 245/35/19 are the widest allowed for 19x8 rim. On an 8in rim , too wide tyres wouldn't be that good, bulging side walls and wouldn't perform as good.

The true look of the Silver F6's is this - do you guys still think they look better than Cobra's

Ps No one noticed the Brembos on the Chops

Either way will look good but I'd personally choose the Cobra's over the silver F6 wheels. Theres a bit more to them, not so boring.

Man they suit your car tops, I really would have been disappointed if you got GT-P's. The dark adjents make your car look tough!

Wait till the GT skirts and flares are on and the grey mould is colour coded! None the less it still looks monstrous!

Does that mean you want to swap your dark agents or does that mean some one else wants a set of dark egnets and they have a diff set of 19"s?

Mick if you want different 19's I'd suggest getting Cobra's with the white on the inside. Shaun thinks so too.
But really, don't change anything till your get the GT skirts and flares on and colour code the side mould. Remember the car isn't finished yet, it will all come together when it's done.
