The 5spoke are staying in the garage, as much as I love them they are not wide enough thats why the XR8 rims are on.

Jonbays the XR8 is at home waiting for someone to love her, she must feel very lonely now the poor girl hehe

Cubey, go for it mate, if you go for a 220kw T fuel isn't too bad at all, a stroker well lets say atm I'm drinking 15litres per 100k's rofl......

You just gotta look at Grunta's T3. The BBS and the T3 were made for each other. Actually, just look at old pics of Laminges TS50. He had the BBS rims on it for a while.

just did some more researching, can only get the BBS rims in 18's, but go up to 18x10's!

chile's go to 19x8's

but in saying that the BBS version is much more expensive from what ive been told.......

no thanks mate I love 4 doors !

Adam the chile's as good as they look have no dish at all, very flat and compared to the BBS one's look well not up there. Also nothing wrong with 19's, a little more rubber for our nice "smooth" roads helps alot. I could have gone 20's long ago but 8" is about the safest avoiding scrapping etc. At least with 19's you can get a wider rim which the rear's need imo. 8" is weeny !

I had the 19"X8" Advanti Chiles' on my TS50 a while back, but I did not like the look of them on the car. Just didn't suit. But the BBS Challenge rims (which the Chile is a direct copy of) on Grunters TS50 looks very good. Sold the Chiles' to Headsex who put them on his AUII XR8 and they looked sheet hot. Here's a pic when they were on.
