i want to get the same as them for my FB Ute, but chrome centres rather than the silver in that pic ... i reckon they are a really nice wheel!

Yeah, they will look hot on the FB too... Its an extra $110 for polished centres (dont come in chrome), i think after what they cost me, ill just live with the silver centres... Great wheel!

Theres just something about the UC's that i like hey. The UC was the 1st torana i ever owned (unlicenced but all im primer ready to paint.....then i had to sell it ) and man i loved that car. Was soooo much better than the VB that came out at the same time!!
That colour blue is simply awsome! Cant wait for the updates with the simmons...will look tough as nails!!
Bring it on!!

:clap:

Still decent prices. My 17x8s were $680 ea in 2000. And the rears were $770 ea.

And to think I've just forked out another $620 to get new outers for the rears... Weren't wide enough you see. :D

G'day Keithy, looking good mate!
Picked up a Dark blue metalic UC on Sat. Looks like a one owner. 202 Trimatic. Sports dash. Dealer fitted Air Con. Some spares in the boot, another sports dash, two bumpers, headlights and indicators..... 4 sp shifter and pedals.
NO RUST! Boot looks like new.... Will post pix on Wed, pick it up Tuesday.
May be after some advice on all things UC in future, as you seem to be the man!
Cheers mate, keep the pix coming!

Have to start a thread on it mate

And i'm going to the drags tonight too... Running the hotwires, and i'm going to be dropping the tailpipe too. Should be good, loud, quick and hopefully faster than my previous best... Fingers crossed hey!
