My 360 GLT with Vesa Rims.

Post by petefarrell360 »

Well, finally I have the Vesa 15" rims on, with the highly recommended TOYO Proxes, 195/50's (After the trip in Adam's special car, I was impressed with them). I must say they stick like the proverbial to the blanket like material! :shock: So, I've been asked for pictures, here ya are, it is a tad dirty, but I promise it had been washed the day before!

Note the 360 GLT decals on the rear door bump strip! Well, I've always wanted a set of the Vesa rims, saw them once, thought I'd never get a set, but I have, with thanks to Foggy for collecting them for me!

I bet you've noticed a big improvment in the handling department.

Well, yes handling has been improved, and the ride seems better.

@ Wiktor Yes, I have PAS, it's a 1989 spec UK model, so I've noticed no difference at all in steering weight, even at low speeds! I like the look of your interior, including the rings surrounding the gauges. You have the centre console gauge panel, econ and ambient temp, and is that a Hella driving light grille in your Avatar! Some nice items there mate!

Having just seen the car in the flesh, I can say those wheels look excellent!! As do the decals on the bump strip!

The modifying of Fioner will start next week, with the new wheels and Hella light grille. Currently looking into some extra gauges too, but we'll see how that goes.

It's good to be a 360 owner again :D :360:
