Hi all

I am looking for a set of rims for my line.

Preference is a black center with polished lip.

Found a perfect set at: http://www.sad-style.com/e-parts/dtl/tw_dtl.asp?num=TW01699

Unforuntately they only come in 18x7.5.

Is there anything else thats similar? Racing Hart Type CR is similar but doesnt come in black.

Any help much appreciated, looking for the perfect set of rims. Anything spokey, black and with polished lip would be terrific.

Else might opt for Buddy Club P1's or something.\

Tahnks

Rays Engineering will paint their wheels in any of their available colours if you're willing to pay for it.

And you sound disappointed that your G-Games only come in 18x7.5, but you don't tell us what size you are looking for.

I heard about Buddy Club going bust ages ago, I don't think they were able to compete with the fake copies going around. Apparantely you can still get their 'overseas' rim versions (I can't think of a better way to phrase this, they have another company outside of Japan that makes them perhaps?) I've also seen some companies in Oz that sell Buddy Clubs still, stating that "this is the last batch available." Buddy Club P2's look the goods but were pretty expensive when they were more available, I wonder how much they'd set you back now that they are harder to find? I managed to get my P1's just before Buddy Club went bust and weren't as expensive as I've seen them going for in this next batch.

On another note, I saw in an issue of HPI a while back a set of rims that had a carbon fibre layer over the inner spokes that also had a polished lip. Looked pretty sweet, and probably cheaper than the P2's I would imagine.

"But my mom says I'm cool."

chk out the business traders section and look for JDMimports. I've bought a few sets off him before and Charles is a top bloke. He imports wheels from the yahoo auctions and can pretty much source what you are looking for. But be prepared to pay 2K upwards for a good set of japanese wheels.

yeah Charlles is a top bloke I got my Volk 18" GTC off him and they look sweet as! ....and also getting me the centre caps to finish off the wheels.....he will be able to hook you up with a set of mags you are after.

Yeah I believe I have spoken to Charles on several occasions.

Cant find anything I like. Problem is I dont know of any other brands or models that make something I want. ie. black with machined lip, so its kinda hard for JDMImports to find something for me if I dont know what rim I am looking for in particular.

I really love it but can't justify another set of wheels this year...would be my fifth set! :)

$2500 with rubber is a good price!

      Haha thanks Lith,  So it's currently working quite well and the torque reduction is setup and working phenomenal. It also got a custom torque convertor from All Fast in WA. Stall speed somewhere around 5500rpm unlocked but still with the lockup. The car went back onto the dyno after a 3yr hiatus (even with the dbw, and other mods completed in this time) managed to make ~515kw at all 4 hubs. Sean setup the Torque reduction which now sounds awesome and working well. We setup adjustable torque controlled launch control aswell.  Man what a feature. Especially when drag racing on street tyres I Managed to get out to the drags late last year and tick a huge bucket list item off of running mine and the cars first 9. Car went a 9.98 @142 Still had the young fellas car seat in the back aswell.  This was on 255/40/17 Nankang AR-1.  Currently the Turbolamik is still completing it's own torque calcs and managing shift times from there. Unfortunately emtrons can export is still a little restrictive to export the ecu calculated torque just yet but I have recently been suggested a work around that I just haven't had a chance to trial yet.

      Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.

      f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
