What to do?

[BLACKAUXR8]

Hey guys. I've decided to spend some money on my XR8. Its lookin a bit ordinaray at the moment. I've had 2 shopping centre carpark incidents that suprisingly they didnt leave a note : both on the back bumper. I've just sold my house and am looking at spending 10 k on the car. Im going to get the body fixed but dont know what else to spend the money on. Im investing in something with 2 wheels that goes fast :evil3: so i want to make it a nice cruiser. Im wondering if anyone has 20's on there XR8 and if so how low is it or what else i could do to bling it up a bit :

are you african american .. then dont ever call them '20s' Again .. Just Kidding ..

Personally , i Hate chrome wheels , but do the interior or bodykit , Big Sound System , the Skys the limit with 10grand on an AU ...

[schuldiner]

personally i wouldn't get 20's maybe 19's but i think 20's is overkill they cost more overall (initial outlay and replacing tires) and changing the rolling diameter would probably affect performance somewhat. i would be getting all leather, sunroof (if you don't already) xr50 kit some 19's black rims that have been machined lip or something would look awesome on a black car i reckon.

Do up the interior as well. Momo s/wheel and shifter. Chrome interior door handles. Bling bling.

Hey bud, i got a mate with a AU with 19's and a mate with an AU about to put on 20's.. i rekon it will look insane if low enough, ill let u know how it goes!

i've lowerd mine 3 1/2 inchs so its pretty low. its got the rebel kit on it already. Im thinkin big wheels no rear spoiler and really low. IT's 67mm of the ground at the moment at the chassis so im hopin the big wheels will lift it a little. I've got DVD and big stereo already. I have been thinking about the sunroof idea though. Does anyone know how much these are ruffly??? I agree with schuldiner about the black wheels. I had black wheels before i got the pursuit rims. I dont think i'll go chrome if i get massive wheels i've never been a big fan of chrome. I might have a look around for some more black rims see if i can get them in 20s. cheers for the input i'll keep you's posted and get some photos up when its done

+1 here for 20's.

[HLC]

20's should lift it about an inch or so i think... do it!

[BLACKAUXR8]

as long as they fit under the guards there going on for sure. i just gota find ones i like now. Low as i can get it, no rear wing, big wheels and a pearl through the paint is what im thinking at the moment. So many decisions.

dinuch (aufalcon.com/dinuch22) has 20s.

They are chrome and it is a fairlane, but it will give u an example of how big they actually are on an AU

What he said, they look tough. I'd go for a set of 19's instead of 20's, speedo is going to be a fair whack out though also you are going to have issues with low and 20's on the front. I can't even put 245's on my 18's with how low mine is as the tyre meets the guard in a very unpleasant way.

Upgrade suspension (see whiteline)
Fit 19" and meaty tyres, nicer ride
Fit brembo (or go porsche they are cheap second hand) Brake upgrade
give the rest of the cash to me

Over all a bloody good package!

Blackers 10 also has 20's on his lane, and there was a T series with 22's on the back a while ago, and it was pretty low.

[BLACKAUXR8]

Yeah i've seen blackers car but its a lane as well. I wasnt sure how much different the gaurds are between them and the XR8. Im getting my gaurds rolled out a little to accomadate the 20's as redxr said his 18's scrub already and so do mine.
