New Wheels, Drums, Tires
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.

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!!!

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
