Fundies, those wheels are nice. They look really good on the red car. What type of wheels are they, what size, and how much were they (if you don't mind me asking)?

Thanks
Ian

EDIT: Just read the last couple of posts again... looks like they are the BSA Au Lightweights, same as on Jimmy's car :oops:

Yes, correct. I paid $180 per rim at Moorebank discount wheels for the 16 x 7 size (6.5kg). Good value I say.

P.S. Im not a big fan of the writing stamped on the rim \"Tuner\"', \" F1\" blah, blah, but it didn't put me off buying them.

14\" Advan Racing with Bridgestone GIII. No idea of the model name or offsets.

They look great! Unusual but pleasing colour combination. Are they GarrettB16's old wheels???

I was there last weekend, he has the same wheels (or at least they look VERY similar) but in gold with what looks like Falken Azenis, and he also has 2 in white with the same red center cap which looks great.

my wheels keep shrinking! :mrgreen:

as per my original post way back near the start of this thread, this is what my car looked like when i bought it 2 years ago with Auscar 16 inch rims (which were nice and light, for 16's anyway)

i was after a more stock / oem look, and better handling, so i upgraded to some 15 inch nb8a's early this year. these were much lighter and the handling improved dramatically.

and as of yesterday i have a new set of wheels, these are the 14 inch hollow spoke na8 wheels. they are noticably lighter then the nb8a rims, you can feel it just by picking them up. i bought them off manga blue and he weighed the wheel /tyre combo at 13.2 kg

i think i still prefer the look of the nb8a rims, but now i have 2 sets of rims so i can use one for street and one for track.
