Finally found a set of 17" rims that clear the APR 323mm brake kit and aren't made of granite (a la the Audi TT rims I've been using) - OZ Ultraleggera 17x8.

Nice, I was looking at getting a set of ultraleggeras a while back, tire rack had some great prices and still sub-$1000 including shipping.
Front looks like it has quite a wide track, dosen't really look like you can go much lower ?
That's where I picked up these - around $900AUD for the set with the current exchange rate.Quote:

Oz ftw!! ;)
Playing around, checking spark gaps, blah blah blah...
I was having some odd movement from the suspension so decided to check the droplinks and lube the front sway bushes. Original links were shot. Put the Mondeo ones in, so much better. Car was becoming a little crashy, bumpy, noisy. I'm amazed how big of an impact the dodgy links were mmaking.
Yep, picked up the same set mid-last year when the rate was decent - The best wheels ever! It was between ultraleggeras or superleggeras, only had the UL in stock :lollipop:Quote:

New 3inch MAF arrived and a Walbro fuel pump
Going to have a go at getting the Walbro in
