Anyone ever dealt with OTR motorsports before for buying wheels? any good? 

[admS15]

Ive bought tyres off them before. Where pretty good and from memory had a pretty large range of wheels in stock. From cheapies to Rays , Advan etc.

[Birds]

Not wheels but have used their workshop for a turbo install and they were very cheap

Something like $400 including some stud extraction from the stud doc

[UNR33L]

Yeah nice, looking at some concave concepts to clear dem brembos

What ideal size you after? I can keep an eye out...

Transaction errors perhaps but I've found contractual calculations are usually accurate to the decimal point as they had to go thru approvals/legal/payroll etc

Yah for big companies

Small companies HR is just a middle aged lady with minimal qualifications with no seperate legal or payroll department.

Your too used to the big end of town Mr Rio and NBN. Vic wasterlander baller crew committee member lol

mostly trawling yahoo and jap stores. the rest i know through people.

hmmm RPF1's arent that expensive new. that would be my suggestion, as I have seen what happens to them with regular track use. and rather than getting bad gutter rash, they tend to 'snap'. someone recently go these repaired:

[blah_blah]

Interesting

Thought they were a high quality strong lightweight rim, hence lots of people buying them for track use

first ones i don't mind, but from the pics pretty much won't fit over the brakes.

I just tried on some of these at otr with the 9.5s on the front +30 clears brakes by a bees dick, only problem is cant get silver they can only get flat black. Still looks good though just need to decide if I want to go black again

[Leroy Peterson]

i saw a pic of the concave's on a falcon and wasnt really sold on the look. and they dont look like the most friendly wheel in the world for brake clearance. anyway, 

work wheels. T7R 19x9.5 +25. $2,020 plus postage http://www.jdmconcept.com.au/part/work/emotion-t7r-set

not sure what that price compares to the concaves.

http://www.jdmconcept.com.au/part/work/mco-racing-type-cs-set - 18x9.5 +22 for 1900. you can then run my 275 18's for cheap

Shannons cams discount ftw

Saved like $100 a year on my laid up cover

problem is, a lot of the falcons with rims don't get the right sizes so looses it's potential most BBS LM style look aids on them but mine pulled it off i think

Concaves are $1800 for comparison and OTR said they'd swap my tyres over for free for me from my BBS's.. not really sold on the work T7R would rather concaves over them I think.

18s look too small on falcons, look at those 19s ^ just about right. 

[Birds]

It's pretty obvious to me you need to fit some 20" D1Rs

[Leroy Peterson]

Need to paint the D1Rs black so no one can see them properly.
Theres that falcon on bags that was wrapped like an aqua green colour... White D1Rs spoiled it.
I also thought 18's were too small for gloria, but reducing tyre width made heaps of difference. Also good luck try to sell wheels without tyres. People too tight assed about it. Its like rego and selling cars.

[Birds]

Which is ridiculous because most tyres that come with rims are dodgy shit or worn out anyway lol

People never seem to like putting in effort for the unseen hero components of a car
