There was one at summernats a year or 2 back (sedan) that had 18s (or possibly even 19s) and they were polished billet 5 spoke jobs that looked unr

Also I'm a bit tight, and tyres for 16 inch and greate

Would have looked 1000 times better with a nice set of centerline convo's or Auto drags. I dont like seeing anything bigger than a 15

Wouldnt mind a set for the van but currently have a stuck with the GTS wheels (widened). Also like the Cragair 5 spokes and have a set of them in 15s as well. I think as long as they dont have a commodore sty
