:hide: rather embrassing point those wheels....untill the good Mr Dicke-Knee pointed out they were HBD optoned from new and matched the HBD plate under the hood, I was about to discard them for 4 spot in favour of some standard Statesman wheels in keeping with sleeper status :shock: ....close call :doh:

thanks notsostock

judging by your name mr30lt thats ur vl as well nice colection calais and stato best of both worlds

yea they are both my cars, i bought the stato just as a cruiser but i think that wont last long as i already have some big plans for the stato, nothing as major as what i have done and am doing to the VL but yea.

wanna try and pimp this stato out as much as i can, including getting a LS1 edit
