Has anybody dealt with them before or know of anyone who has? They look pretty well organised. I am thinking about buying some 17in nankangs from them $120ea + $10 freight. My main concern is their delivery, as I need them within the next week or so...

Any recommendations would be tops.

Cheers

Cal.

Dealt with them also about 8 months ago. They were good to deal with had the wheels sent to Sunshine Coast and had them in 4 days. Good prices too for wheel and tyre packages! Just make sure you confirm everything before they ship.

Good luck with the new tyres

they are good...i bought a set of rims off them when i used to live in sydney...stay clear of ozzytyres- they are the worst, and big 0 tyres are just as bad

Totally agree Ozzy tyres are knobheads. I went there to get new springs in because the previous owner had chopped them and I got defected for it. I told them that I had to clear a defect, drove from Newcastle to Sydney, buggered around all day getting them fitted, got back home, went to a workshop to get it cleared and I was still 2cm under height. Ended up buying 12 rubber blocks, jacking up the car and jamming three in each spring coil, drove VERY carefully back to the workshop, got it cleared and sold the car 3 weeks later. Everything was falling apart from having such a harsh ride for so long.

Long story short dont go to Ozzy ;)

You, might be the Knobhead,selling your car to some poor unsuspecting person knowing quite well it wasn't roadworthy.

Just my opinion though.

yeah a mate of mine has bought 2 sets of tyres off them, 1 set of 20" rims and a set of 18" rims all came within a few days and no problems with them. just make sure if you need offset or anything you state the correct offset to them and spacer size also. these are the most important things.

Um no actually if you read it properly i got the springs fixed, and the problems i had i only found out about every time i got a service. And she got an NRMA inspection before she bought a car. And i took the rubbers out. And dont say its unroadworthy because of the height, how many cars sell while being too low?

I have a set of 255 nankangs on the rear of my 33....

They are falling apart.... Way toooooooo soft.....

There is rubber all up the back of my car all the time.... No burnouts either.... They are really tight but very fast wearing tyres....

At the price i cant think of a better tyre tho.... For price/km's traveled i think there pretty good.... Just hate the rubber all over the car...

i need sum 255 tyres soon aswell for the rear. i also have nankang ns II but i have them on the front. they are a soft tyre but they seem to grip ok but im going to get a tyre that is a bit harder compound for the rears bcoz i just dont think they nankangs will hold up to the rear end torcher. there just too soft.

Try falken azenis. I got 265/35/18's and they seem to be holding up good.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
