Hi guys/gals

I have myself an R33 with aussie FTL ROH wheels :wub::happy:

I've searched and searched and I can't seem to find any wheels I want so I need some help.

Here's the criteria: Jap, 17"-18" and under around $1800 (without tyres). I've been looking at URAS NS-01 but they're discontinued and the only size I've been able to find them in it 17 x 8 and I wanted the 17 x 9.5. I also love the bee*r wheels that are similar looking to the URAS but I don't think they're available in Aus. The Volk CE28N is a super sexy wheels but I'd say that would be stretching the budget a little!

Or maybe some sexy Wedsports

So any suggestions on wheels or where to go to buy em?

if you like the bee*r / uras wheel, dont be afraid at that price to get a set of drifteks. Cheap enough if ya break them and dont look that bad

Maybe shop around some of the traders to see whats coming across in containers second hand. XD9s look porn tho :happy:

Well, BEE-R's and URAS NS-01's are both discontinued.

XD9's are a very good wheel for the money.

And there's nothing wrong with the ROH's....... as long as they're the custom 3 piece modulars and not the mass produced cast wheels. I got mine in custom offsets/widths/face types for less that 2K, and in 4 stud too.

Have you Looked at 5 Zigen GN+ Racer wheels? Can have you a set here for under $1600. Or $1800 for 18's.

Your biggest problem is if you buy here, you're paying a huge markup on them...... if you order from japan, you'll save a ton. In saying that, it's not that Aussie buisnesses are slapping huge amounts of markup on them for themselves..... it's to cover buying the wheels, import taxes, customs duties, freight etc. and then their profit goes on top.

Jump on Nengun/Greenline.co.jp/Perfect Run etc and see if you can get a set delivered here?

Exactly what Id be doing.

Thanks for that advice. The 5zigens are a great looking wheel too, and much better priced. I'll check out the websites and have a search around.

Get the Rims through Jesse Streeter who is a regular importer of parts on NS.com... his email is [email protected]

He got my XD9's for me, and by the time i paid shipping via EMS (got them 3 days after he sent them) it cost around 1700 landed.

tell him what other rims your after and he will get you prices. His reputation is A1 and will not rip you off.

Another person to praise Jesse Streeter, looks like that's a good avenue for purchase.

$1700 perfect, just under budget :starwars:

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
