Hey Junior,
the wheels look great. What size are the rims & the tyres? Are they american racing wheels?

I have American Racing Torq Thrust II's on mine and these look a little different around the lug nut area (unless of course it is the angle of the photo)

no your right yellow 66, they are a rip off from the torque thrusts but cost half the price, was somewhat worried about quality, however, was assured money back if i wasnt 110% happy, and when getting  them balance barely needed any weight so were made half descent !!! rims are 17" x 7 . and tyres are 225 45 17's .  quite happy with myself your right though, neeeeds to be lowered asap, will post a pic when that comes around !

yeah mate :)  .  think i'll bring the back down a little more, has 30mm blocks in her but also an extra leaf in the spring, so will rip that out and get it sitting a little more level.  Just re-skinned the front seats so entire interior is brand spankin and got a fresh tune, runs like an ethiopian ! (no racial intensions) aha

yeah mate,

well rear was just a set of fresh U-bolts and had some neat blocks made up to drop it a tad (thanks dad).  front just got some king springs and kyb shocks that are a bit stiffer to handle the lower height, surprisingly doesnt feel all that rough - was expecting a shithouse ride, after previously lowered cars have been bad experiences !  had to get the old man to roll the guards on the front because was scrubbing a bit on the one side, but now has full clean turn lock to lock.
