    Unfortunately I find Pat's shows to be one massive advert for ARB, Nissan and Pirelli. I therefore find it difficult to seperate how much of it is paid advertising and how much is honest opinion.

    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.

    Regards,

    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.
