Thanks everyone.

I came across this site when i first got the AU. Did the search thing and there it was.
Look like a fun bunch.

I must admit i wouldn't buy Silouette again, looks great when its clean but when its dirty it looks like s...

I'm getting a set of 18's next week, Envy MLII's. (9's up front and 10's down the back )
People have tol me the 10's are illegal but the tyre mob say they are ok. Time will tell.

Hey for anyone living in Sydney, have you seen the XR8 with the plate "4ord" ?

Yeah I think I've seen your plates, on Cumberland Highway.

Like others have said, keep your eye on the NSW events section. Also see my signature, I have planned a cruise.

Again, welcome to the site

10s at the back? Faaarrk! I think it will be illegal but I'm not sure on the laws in NSW. Make sure you post some pics when the new rims are on

X, i must be a sucker. I didn't even ask for 10's, he just said they fit and has put them on AU's before, so i just smiled and put a deposit.
A workmates nephew has a new XR6 turbo ( blue ) in some Ford mag, he said 9's were the legal.

Arg, yeah i'm up the Cumberland a fair bit. Is that your beast in the avater ?

I'd like to see the black XR8 with "4ord" plates, what a beast. I pulled up next to it one night and near died of embarassment in comparison to it.
