They are in fact Passage GT wheels, I am running R31 wheels on my hardtop.
The R31 wheels run the same offset as the Passage, while I have altered the rears the fronts are stock.
I am running a 25mm bolt on spacer and 2 x 5mm slip on spacers on the front for this look.\

I must have read the wrong information somewhere then. Ill do a test fitment in the next few days. Where did you get your spacers from?

Alrighty lol, did you use the slip on and attached longer studs or bolt on ones with studs already on them?

ok, so who has some spacers to spare here.

I have the slip on's on first then the bolt on's. The main reason I did this was because the centre bore of the bolt on's was too small so I used the slip on spacers to space it out away from the hub. It also has given me the exact wheel/gaurd look I was after :)

I get what you mean. Doesnt look like this is as easy as "abc" to find the right spacer set up. The sigma spacing would be different again. I dont think shops like bob jane, beaurepairs would supply spacers at all. The tyre factory might have a small chance though. If anyone has fitted r31 wheels to sigmas Id be interested in their set up. My current tyres are bald on the inside lol and considering the car is a daily, Id want to get the new wheels fitted asap.

Well I test fitted the wheels on the car today, they look fantastic, and the most striking thing to note is..that they dont rub or touch anything. The wheels clear the front struts by around 5-10mm (same as the existing wheels) and the rears have heaps of extra room. If the GSR wheels sat pretty close to the front strut and were +24 offset and the Passage GT wheels are +45 then this is weird as lol. Maybe my suspension system has been altered in the past. Or maybe there is a difference between the wheel fitments of GH and GJ-GN sigmas.

I am pretty sure the R31 wheels are about +25 offset. They only needed a 5mm spacer not to hit on the Galant I just like them out further.
Glad they fit well on your car, we will of cousre be needed pics :)

That looks heaps better man, much more understated.
I'm not feeling the black fuel cap or bonnet scoops though, maybe body colour the cap and get a factory bonnet on it?

LOL about the fuel cap, I didnt paint it like that, same goes for the bonnet scoops. I will get it sorted when my bumper is getting redone later on.

Well its about time for an update.

Car will be going for a respray very soon, bare metal job, rust cut out, etc. Would come out like a new car. Only reason is because some hooligans decided to have a ball with some keys :@

Was contemplating on some colours. I need some help with opinions and photoshopping. Colours that I am considering are:

-pearl white over gun metal
-full gun metal
-candy red (dark cherry candy red, not fully sick candy red) over black or gun metal
-same colour but a different yellow
-BMW X1 Bronze with or without two tone gunmetal or black
-gold pearl over gun metal or black

Also considering over lays with pin stripes on the side like this: http://www.streetcommodores.com.au/imag ... 7/sle2.jpg

Damn I hate that.
It sucks when people don't respect others property. I hope they get them for it :hit:

As for colours, I'm with the full Gun Metal Grey Metallic look. I think it would suit the shape and wheels better. Leave it black around the windows and get them tinted a shade of black (what I mean is don't do colours or that silver/chrome stuff) too.

Cheers Pier. I saw the HDT VKs and thought the HDT wheels would look real tough on a sigma, but too bad they were 5x120 pcd. So after some searching, I found this set of wheels, supposedly from an r31, but Ive never seen another r31 with them. The closest is the Passage GT wheels, yet the spokes on them are pointing inwards, so Ive got a unique set lol.

This kind of gutless act gets my blood boiling. Could have been worse though, the prick(s) could've kicked a panel or two. I really liked the 2 tone yellow/grey combo too. :@
