Serves me right for trying something different lol.

Thanks VSpec. Yup, my 9th set of wheels now lol hopefully the last!

Got some Nissan OE 17s for now, but might be a keeper cause they're smart as hell.

I think I can see your wheel count go into double figures , But I must say Damn do they look smart! Tie in really well, OEM ftw!! Any idea what these new rims weigh..?

I've seen images of an abs plastic open mouth grill, but I for the life of me can't remember where, or who produced it.

Benzene was going to help me find an ABS grille from I think Thailand, but he's hard to get a hold of and I couldn't wait.

Looks even better in person Ed. Great effort.

Is that a 1.4 N15 in the background of Rick's pic?

 

[edk]

Thank you mate.

The white car? Looks like an N14.

Sunny i think

 

[wraith]

Thought it looked a bit blocky.

Here's a shop of it with Aus N16 Sedan skirts. They match the VZR rear spats well.

You have 5 holes in the wheels? You are using adapters?
Lovely car!

Front hubs are redrilled, and the rear has 20mm converter spacers, but I'll be changing the rears to Maxima hubs soon because the offset is just a little too much. As I found at the weekend with a full boot the tyres can rub lol.

 

[V-SpecII]

Would it still rub if the arches were rolled..?

 

[edk]

They are rolled.

They're fine with only minimal load in the boot and no one in the back seat, but actually rubs the arch and grinds the rubber away if not. Taking all the stuff to JAE last weekend showed me that.

 

[V-SpecII]

Damn 17"s!! I'm going too have trouble to my boots always full! Thought I'd get away with rolling them .

VSpec, as Nistro says, there is a lot more to this than just the fact they are 17s. My rolling radius is actually ever so slightly smaller than stock...

I have the other style grille from Depo which is ABS and is a spot on fit. It uses the OEM mounts into the bumper valance so fixes up with 4 points. I think I prefer the open mouth x-racing design though so not sure what to do with the other grille.

What's it look like? I still need a grille for my bonnet...
