Datman Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 wheel factory in qbn used to do them, not sure if they still do. bolt on ones anyway The Wheel Factory is long gone, don't know if any tyre places sell them as they may not be legal. I saw some on Just Jap's site the other day, they have bolt ons 15/20/25mm and floating depending on how thick you want. Just be aware they may not be road legal (so paint them matt black or something). Another company stopped selling them a couple of years back for this reason.

Ive got news for you mate - the wheel factory is NOT long gone, they moved it to Fyshwick as it is a more central location and they have a better workshop... Its out the back of Jax Quickfit Fyshwick. If you call Andrew or Tony there they will be able to hook you up with wheel spacers no problem at all. By the way - bolt on spacers arent illegal if you have them engineered, however if you increase the track of the vehicle 14mm+ per side then they are illegal regardless of engineering or not, so be careful.

I was gonna get 25mm spacers for each side So thats illegal then... meh, I can live with it. Cops probably wont notice right?

datto260Z Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 They probly will now I have some of the Just Jap 25mm ones (4x114.3) and they seem pretty good quality. I bought 4 of them, but I cant use them on the front cos the inner hole diameter is too small for my hubs, but you guys shouldnt have that problem.

Thanks Mick, that is good news, I just hadn't heard anyone mention them since the shop closed in Qbn. Perhaps I just need to get out more often; fatherhood will do that. I assume they're still doing repairs and all the necessary stuff that not many others did around here.

Bullet32 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Youre welcome... If you have a wheel to repair they're the guys to see, I had them machine and paint my rims and they look brand new. I would recommend them to anyone Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/193655-where-do-you-buy-from/#findComment-3485947 Share on other sites More sharing options...
