I'm currently running on 16inch Performance wheels. See pics on my website:
http://oppressa.freeservers.com/humbug.htm

But I'd like to have a wider variety in wheel choice. So I guess I'm going to need new drums and tyres. Starting with the drums, does anyone know my options as to what/where/how much it would cost?

I just need somewhere to start.

why use drums. get a CBB disc kit. have discs allround and you can have a choice or rims.

Mate
you are in Sydney- drive over to Richard at V Force

Am guessing as your is 4 stud you have front discs and rear drums

He has blank rotors for the front and does a very similar kit to the one Seagull has that does EB Ford rear discs with blank rotors.

Pretty sure he has blank drums for the rear as well

Then just choose your wheels - free from stud patterns

Futue te ipsum!!!

opressa, just been checking out your site....
that tacho looks really cool, i like the look of a few of the other gauges on offer from pivot.....
where did you buy it from? did you have to deal direct and import or is there a supplier over here?

Kai, try here http://www.importscene.com.au/category141_1.htm or I bought mine from Motoquipe in Burwood. Was going to get their speedo but would have lost odometer, indicator, oil, etc lights. Which is why I just did the mod.

Blue74 thanks for the info 😀
