AMG Rims for SkylineR33

[R33_Cam]

does anyone know where to get AMG rims from, other than Bob Jane, cause they just charge too much, but i have heard that they are the exclusive dealer in OZ, can anyone help??

and if it helps, the exact rim i am after is AMG Matrix, 18x7or8 in chrome, to suit R33 GTST.

cheers

I think you will find bob janes prices are extremely good for the wheels you are after. You have expensive tastes, you can get them through a number of places, most of which would prolly be a grand or so more

sorry man

[R33_Cam]

well they have quoted $3100 for rims and tyres, it is around my price range, but i was just seeing if anywhere else was cheaper, as u see in some magazines ppl advertising 18" rims and tyre packages from $1800?? whats the go there??

[25GTT]

Yeah but have you seen the 18's they give ya.... and if you do like the 18's in the package they give you the worst "H' rated tyre imaginable....

OK, due to the camber of my wheels My brand new GGrid II's 255 series worth a bucket load!! were worn within 6 months! I went to Auto Barn just off Oxford st i think ummm near Graham Farmer entry in East perth.

There is a guy there called Jawid..... He was at the auto Salon and is a true gentleman! a lot of these tyre stores take your car do a quick job while your sipping tea in there reception then see ya later. Jawid talks about what he is doing whilst doing it! I learnt all about balancing them and alignment info. I got some tyres from him about 2 months ago and never had any probs since and saved HUNDREDS!!!

I have dealt with him and he has been excellent!

He sells mags in there and sells tyres HEAPS cheaper than bob jane! give him a go! he should have or can get what ya looking for! Westate Autobahn...any probs trying to find the number lemme know and i will track it down... hes open on sat mornings aswell.....

john @ wheels world can get his hands on most packages but youll find them just as expensive as bob jane i reckon

maybe try find some 2nd hand wheels from importers? you can get 18s fairly cheaply that way. a mate of mine got a set of 5 spoke 18s with tyres for his soarer - $1000 trade in for his srd soarer rims/tyres and they look really nice as well...

a little less than a year ago I went there in search of an upgrade for my old 15's, and asked about some Advantis (which turned out to be about 500p/w). But I mentioned that I was in the Silvia club, and from what I remember, the price dropped to about 240p/w or something as crazy!? Maybe when the Skylines WA Club is up and running then they'd be a good group to link with?? I couldn't believe how cheap they were!

also I was at mr mags yesterday and they have some pretty competitive prices - on one set they were 600 I think less for a set of 4 rims than these two other groups off of the internet

anyway, food for thought

I got 17" matrix on my R33 about 2 or 3 months ago....They look good.

18" would be sweet,

JBR33 (think thats the plates) has Chrome Matrix, but from memory they are 17"s

Nice rim but.

yeah they are the exact ones i want, like the ones on "JB R33" 18" Chrome Matrix, i rekon they look pretty sweet.

R33_Cam, just a thought, but if you know the exact wheel you want, it may be worth giving one or two of the large wheel companies over east a call and see what they can offer - I have heard of some good results from doing this - there was one in the latest fast fours that said they deliver australia wide and are open 7 days - sorry starting to digress. Also another option - give beaurepairs in Rockingham a call, ask to speek to darren, he saved me hundreds on a really nice set of wheels
