Best Place to get 18" RIMS

[AlphA]

Hello all Ive looked and searched through the forums for some good advice for the following but havent found much at all, Im getting a White GTST R33 later this week and Im working out my budget so any help would be great!!

Im looking for some advice on where to get RIMS at a good price in Perth and also a nice body kit... more on the body kit later.

Im after 18" Rims and at the moment Im leaning towards Gold ones.

http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_clos...034&part_no=811

These arnt bad but are $1600 for the package " Inc tyres" + $85 to get them sent to perth.

But I have seen some packages for as low as $1400

Any ideas? Cheers!!

It doesn't pay to cheap out on tyres; which is often why some of the cheaper packages are cheaper. Hold out until you get a bit more cash and get some decent rubber on them. Otherwise, places like C-Red usually have a large selection of rims; Buddy Club's are all the rage nowadays, and for good reason.

for the body kit i suggest you make your way to works auto, tons of stuff for a 33

rims... hmm, i might have some 18's on sale this week or so..

those ones you put up are.. gay

[MirKz]

personally i think the gold ones would look great with the right application.

Tempe seem to be fairly cheap when it comes to rims..im not sure how great the quality is etc but yeah Gold ones look good

i got my 18"s from avanti tyres in rockingham for just under a grand not including the rubber. i have some fairly big rubber on the back so my tyres are fairly espensive. ($1032 for all 4)

mmm. I didnt think they looked that gay... Gay because they are Gold? Coz Ive gotta tell you I like the Gold rims on a white skyline, looks awesome!

I will check out C-Red.

the actual rim is cheesy... looks like it belongs on a civic/lancer...

take no offence, its an opinion, i take none if you think they are the shit and are in love with them

tj

[AlphA]

No offence taken at all teejay, I posted the picture to get feedback on them anyway...

go the Jap rims..

http://www.c-red.com.au

other places such as CarQuest / Wheels World can bring them in but there is a waiting period.. depends on how keen u are

[RadiuM]

speaking of rims, i just painted mine gold. too much silver/chrome or whatnot makes me sick so i had to change them.

how do they look?

i hope they dont look 'gay' as you say out there in this crazy world.

Im with TJ

Those rims look crap - cheap looking.. their colour has nothing to do with it .... they would be crap in any colour

I agree once i put the 18" enkei's on my car it looks much much better as for tyres I recommend the dunlop sp9000 (if you can still get these) but at 18" sizes dont expect much change from $500-$600/tyre.

[AlphA]

$500 - $600 a tyre// owwwch!

Hit up wheels world in ossie park, john fowler has a decent selection of stuff on display he can show you against the car so you get an idea what it looks like, hes also not in for selling crap tyres, his cheaper tyres are still ten times better than what you'll buy at bob jane etc..
