bling bling bling... :armsup:

They are a chromed alloy wheel so still very light. 17x12inch with a wicked offset. had to get them air freighted in form America to get them here in time so paid a pretty penny for the short timing. got them through Peter at OPW.

will run internal bead locks to keep the clean look and dirty big 49's :)

Fark some bling rims to get munched up on milbradale rock .....but yeah as said awesome if ya have the money y not ...

But whats got me thinkin is that last year Pete had the biggest wheel with the 49"s so what the fark will the yella beast be running this year ? 54"s as people say TT is the largest wheel wins seems as though there are gunna be a few winners this year ;) .......




Not longto go now :twisted:

well there are going to be at least 4 trucks with 49's this year that i know of and i would say at least 6 trucks that could get first place for sure so the competition is going to be very very close and great for the spectators...

breakages and luck will decide this years winner :oops:

Holy Shit!
This zook is off the hook.
Lovin those rims, and jeez those bastards look HUGE in the hilux.
If only you could just ditch the front Manta Ray flares off the Bigzook it would look epic.

So the question is..... Can a 71kw 1.6 litter engine turning the exact same tyres as a 400kw 7.8 litter engine be competitive?????

that is the question...

what do you think

I reckon it can!!! :armsup:

It would be very intersting to know the power to weight ratio between them but....the zook couldn't be too far behind as the Cruisers would have to weigh shitloads with all the stuff they have hanging off them,

You're going have to change the name from Big Zook to F'ING HUGE ZOOK. Those tyres on a zook are going to look mad. Not too much worry about scratching the wheels, surrounded by that much rubber

Gotta get off the back of the ute first without dropping it over, I wouldn't like to have to lift it back up. Not everyone has a forklift at home.

what do you think

The question will be "can the drive train handle it?"


I suggest you take plenty of everything.

A mate saw it out at Menia a couple of weeks ago and noticed all that rubber? :roll:
