Ive come across the Rota RBs in another forum that looks pretty mean and quite good for its price.

Heres the 13\"x8\" with +4 offset:

Im interested in getting 15\"x7\" with +4 offset... There is a group buy price if anyone is interested (roughly $600usd inc freight)

Im just getting a quote on how much flared Tuckin99 guards are before I commit to these rims.

I got in touch with JDMYard for some Buddy Clubs, they called me today and said that they don't have anymore stock.

Any recommendations for other reliable, reasonably priced Sydney retailers ?

Thanks!

Btw Adam, just saw your previous post. The best price I've seen for Buddy Club SF's are $900 for a set, in Sydney :)

As an update, I've finally bought my rims haha. They're a 6-spoke, Black Racing replica at 15x7" with a +40 offset. The offset is not as wide as I wanted but then there wasn't anything left at such a crazy price. The shop owner was fantastic, he let me take them and see if they look good with the car and if not, I can take it back to him 8)

Hey

I bought Rays grame lights in bronze ( www.rayswheels.co.jp) for that JDM look with tyres (yoko A539) 18 months ago for $1500. They are lighter than stock 14\" wheels and made in Japan not Korea. I bought them from Payless tyres at Chatswood ask for Jeremy

Thats not a bad price... I wonder if this pricing is still available... it seems everything JDM now has the JDM tax associated with it...

Hey Mick,

I went to Jeremy for a wheel alignment yesterday... was going to charge me $49 for it (which I thought was quite reasonable) but then he dropped it down to $30 after I told him that you bought a set of Rays from him a while back.

Really good service, will definitely get a set when I have the dosh saved up. Thanks for the heads up on this place dude.
