Photo's & thanks

A big thanks to all the members here. This forum has been invaluable in helping me make my dream come true.

From pre-purchase tips to post purchase maintenance & upgrades this place has been awesome.

I've had this baby for a few months now and haven't stoped smiling from the moment I got the keys.

Only now have I got around to taking some photo's after putting the SL65 wheels on and getting the windows tinted.

Looks perfect. The SL65 wheels set it off. Congrats!

You definitely don't want a set for drag radials. They weigh just shy of one million pounds.

Yeah thanks. I didn't know they were THAT heavy. I only got the 20" BBS with my car. I guess I WOULD prefer to have some in the 500k-600k pound range. What do/did you use? What other wheels fit that have a reasonable weight? Obviously a smaller diameter will net a better ET?

I got lucky. A guy in Melbourne imported them from the US then decided he didn't need them.

As a bonus they're the 10" rears.

Although as mentioned, they are outrageously heavy!

No, side and rear windows only.

Legally must be no darker than 35% light transmission.
