Totally agree! I have the EGR lid & was never really happy - even from the start. But that was all that was available at the time. My nephew actually sold his ute as he really disliked the EGR lid. He ended up trading the ute for the 4 door SSV.Quote:

Trying to keep as close as you can to manufacturer diameter is best. The 20" with a 35 profile actually sit 0.9 mm more then the original 19's.
Yeh Holdens single biggest mistake was to take EGR on as an endorsed product. They actually released a slimmer version now that comes out on the 09's. I think they realised there own mistake.Quote:

Mate thanks heaps for that link. Someone there has already done what I was thinking. Spray it black. Waiting for some picies.Quote:
