Hi there guy, I just bought a skyline 2 days back and is having heaps of fun driving it around..clocked about 270km since sat afternoon since i got it (it's monday 6pm now), but the rims of the car is really ugly..so I'm thinking of changing it but I went to tempe tyres and I can't find a rim that I like.. I

f anyone has been to the sydney motor show in the past 2 weeks, I'm looking for a rim that is similar to the ones on the black (souped up by ralliart) Lancer Evo IX. It's very dark (gunmetal perhaps?) with a red line around the outer edge of the rim. It has like maybe 5 spokes (i know it's called spokes on bikes, not sure what's it called on car rims), 5 things that connect the centre of the wheel to the tyres...

I was wondering if anyone knows where to get such rims? I was thinking of 18" cuz i dun really wanna have too bumpy a ride.

Another q is where did you guys get insurance thru? I got it thru Just Cars and it's costing me 2500 with a excess of 1400. is this average?

Another q is that when I bought the car, the dealer told me that I won't get the rego papers for the skyline but will get like a paper saying that I bought the car. Is this correct and what would happen if I wanna sellthe car and I don't have the rego papers.

thanks for the replies that will follow.. Look forward to being a part of this community =)

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?

      What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
