As everyone has been saying....You have a nice FTO there

Boot space is overated anyway, I am in agreeance that the back seat is plenty big enough

Thank you, it's awesome to be finally joined!
Boot space is always over rated, but I need to get a new mat made up for the boot. D:

Still enough space for a few subs
Always room for subs.

I'll take a rear strut bar over a sub any day.

Sounds like perfection

Could you guys help me with rim decisions.

So many good rims, makes it hard to decide.
I want black 17 - 18" I won't know the exact size until we lower it.

I would stay with 17"

Plenty of good options out there at the moment. Probably narrow down exactly what you want it to do and that'll help (unless your deliberation is mostly on style!).
e.g.
How wide do you want your tyres?
How much do you care about comfort?
17 inch tyres are cheaper than 18.
Then all the fun stuff like how flush you care about it being vs practicality/scrub.

I keep reminding people that these guys http://www.jdmconcept.com.au presently have a special on good brand wheels (Work, SSR). and http://www.autotechnik.com.au also have a good selection at decent prices.

They are standard tail lights with a film tint applied.

I want them pretty wide, I'm not too sure on measurements.
Comfort isn't the biggest deal but being semi comfortable would be nice haha.
I'll defiantly check those links out thanks!

I knew that, hehe.
I was wondering more about your rear brake light. Looks mad.

A few of us are on 9" wide without too many issues. Could probably go wider depending on how low you are and tyre size, but 8-9" is most practical.

Honestly, I didn't notice a large difference in ride comfort when I went from the 18s with a 235/40 to my 17s with a 225/45, so I think a lot of it just has to do with what suspension you are running anyway.

Actually, you can have strut bar + subs + amps + battery in boot + still have access to space saver + still have a fair chunk of boot space left.

The stainless steel laser cut components on my FTO are from the UK.
