Looking good mate.

Nice work mate, keep the updates coming.

[SLE355Participant View build HERE Member since: April 7, 2015 Posts: 119]

Got them painted yet?

All good mate, just some suggestions. The Forgelines do look real tough/racy as you say, i reckon a set on the SL/E with silver centres would look good. Interested to see how they look on a commodore. Any idea on when you’ll have them?

Having not seen the FR20 1 piece in the flesh, from the pics i’ve seen the dish doesn’t look as highly polished as the 1 piece Simmons? Fair call? I’m actually borrowing one this weekend, so will see for myself.

Na they are highly polished, his do look dull in the pics tho. 245s generally look stretched on the 9.5s hence i didnt run the 9.5s as didnt want a stretched look. Only way you will fix it is raising car a little or shorten diff then can run a 275 etc

Dish is def highly polished. Just pics don’t show it well. Yeah getting some hd super lows on the weekend to raise up the rear a little.

I’ve got an FR-1 here now and the lip is definitely not a shiny as my 3 piece 18’s, they dont have a smooth finish like the 3 piece. It’s like factory orange peal paint compared to show car smooth. Explains why they don’t look as polished in heaps of pic’s i’ve seen.

Oh OK cool, that’s handy and good to know.

 

Actually i should have known that, mate had one missing from his and they sent some out.

Looks damn good mate, what size tyres are you running? Interested to see how they go painting around the bolts with them being one piece rims.

Anymore thoughts on your wheels? How about the OM Simmons? I do like those ones you had photo shopped, they look awesome on the Big Red Camaro if you know the car.

Nice mate, what engine have you got planned once your ready to replace the 253?

[SLE355Participant View build HERE Member since: April 7, 2015 Posts: 119]

Never seen this before, awesome build!

What size are the Simmons?

[SLE355Participant View build HERE Member since: April 7, 2015 Posts: 119]

Do you know what cam is in it? Tony will get that thing moving I’m sure!

Supposedly a hydraulic roller cam. Has adjustable rockers which the dyno guy says isn’t normal for a hydraulic roller? 

Dyno guy doesn’t sound like he has much of a clue.

Love the car, are they 3 or 1-piece Simmons?
