Photoshop is something I'd really like to be able to do.
I should see if there is a course at TAFE maybe that caters for dinasours.

Dinosaurs are hard to photoshop.. I think it's something to do with the texture of their skin  :whistler:

I was watching a documentary a while ago and they said that there is every likelihood that they will be able to bring dinasours back to life through cloning, using DNA that has now been obtained and stored.
Scary stuff.  :scared:
Apologies for the  :offtopic:

Because you can't remove your rails you are thinking about changing cars?  :Shocked: :lol:

That  looks a bit "messy" to me  :undecided:

I think they would blend in OK with a black roof though  :goodjob:

Is the roof textured, the digial camera is having difficulty with the pattern at long range, perhaps a close up would be better  :goodjob2:

Unfortunately, that would be too hot in Australia, but perfect where you are.  :neutral:

Yes, and didn't they get hot. No air cond in those days so just open the windows. With air cond I wouldn't want to load the system with the extra heat black would cause.  :neutral:

And no this is a texture carbon look, and it can withstand heat and cold to many degrees so I do not see any problem ;)

Hi Glac,

The top model in Australia (the SR) comes with

225 x 45 x 17

I think these are a good compromise between cost/ride and appearance...

Being an old f**t I would not go any bigger as I like a bit of comfort these days..

This is what an SR looks like with that size

OK now. A woed of caution. In the first pic if you look closely you'll notice that the tyres' beads are pulled way out past the shoulder of the tyre.
This means the rim is too wide for the tyre fitted. Sometimes this is done because the owner wanted the widest possible rims but couldn't/ wouldn't fork out for the more expensive correct tyre size.
In other instances it's done out of necessity  to allow the tyre to fit under the guards because the rim is either too wide or the offset is wrong.
Either way the result is a tyre on which the sidewalls will not be able to flex the way they are designed to do. Which results in a harsh ride and less tha optimum grip due to the footprint being distorted.
In fact, those tyres already seem to be showing some excessive shoulder wear.

Hei Mate

Thanks for reply . I am personally more into lower profile tires then ride comfort :P , as i see that there is quite a bit of tire on those wheels , but I appreciate you posting image and telling me your opinion great stuff !;)

It is nice to know that I can use 225 tires, but I was thinking 17 x 225 40 on my wheels, but i need to find out what the stores her can give me



" Surferdude "

Thanks for that mate , i like the rims being thicker then tires, but It is a risk as the rims can get scuffed really easy =)

But i was thinking of more the " tire profile " on them pictures as for me they look spot on on tier profile and rim size =)

We will see what I do i will post images later thanks again to both of you =)
