Am I the only one here who thinks the dynamic rims look wrong on the D3?
The chrome centre cap's are from Dynamic themselves, item DCAP 84mm centre.
The wheel nut's I picked up from a Holden dealer myself, maybe get them well before fitting rims because the Holden dealer may not have enough unless you live in a city with multiple dealers that can freight in extra reliably. Same thread pitch and diameter as a late model crappadore steel rim nut.
Yes, I noticed that. It was the 1st time I've watch the show.Quote:

Good questions. I've never driven the MTRs on wet bitumen (based in Perth where there are no clouds for 7 months straight). On dry bitumen, particularly if it's been resurfaced and is hence smooth & slick, the noise at around 60 km/hr is really awful - a grating drone which aggravates my tinnea. At highway speeds the sound dissapates and the droning frequency gets higher and more pleasant. I usually put them on only for specific trips and take them off as soon as I return to town. Grip on dry bitumen is probably a bit trickier than the straight road tyres, but with the truck tyre-like droning I just think I'm driving an extremely well aligned Nissan Patrol and drive accordingly. This provides a very large margin of safety.
