I like the middle one Mick.

Easier to clean I reckon over the 3rd one.

^^^^What he said^^^^^^ and thats an awesome offset/size Mick...good find.....dont get the middle one...looks too sporty in my opinion and more sportcar suited not a tuff truck.

My vote is for the middle one too, Mick.
At the end of the day, like most things, it has to be your choice, as you'll be the one looking at it each day. Maybe once you have wheels you're proud of you won't feel the need to hide them under water (looks at avatar)... :P :lol:

Option 2 or 4 for me... although 4 would stick out a fair bit...

Hey Mick,
I like the looks of the bottom one (option 3) most, followed by your choice. But whenever i look at wheels i always consider how easy are they going to be to keep clean, they all look awesome new......so for me i'd go your choice, just looking at the centre caps and the bolt heads on each spoke......

Billy,

Have thought about it mate, but it is the cost involved in the P&H plus than the import duties. Plus if you do get in an accident they may decline cover if the tyres are not a brand imported into OZ. I know all of our cars are illegal in some ways just the tyre thing worries me.

Having said that still considering it as you can get Procomps at half the price from the states to what they are here.

Well I blew a head light globe on Wednesday and had been tossing up getting the HID upgrade From Newpro Tech for a while, so what a perfect time to get it ordered.

Dropped William an email Thursday and he called to discuss my needs Thursday arvo I had the following expressed posted to me: -

35w Hi/Lo replaced kit = 6000k
35w fog light kit = 6000k
Led Parkers
Led interior
Led Number Plate

Installed them today and holly crap what a difference they make, for anyone thinking of doing it go for it you will not be sorry. Very easy plug and play install and very cheap for the overall upgrade it gives you. Would go as far to say driving lights would not be needed, they are that good.

Will post up some pic's shortly

Mate they are great, cannot fault them.

As per Williams advice I went the 35W as he said the standard headlight was not good enough (reflector ability) for the 55W as the light went everywhere and was not focused.

Very worthwhile upgrade and very cheap.
