Rims were $1200 (Saving of $104 + $150 postage). Tyres are $220 each. I didn't shop around as I was short on time. It seems the cheapest people can get are around $199. ~$80 loss isn't too bad for the amount of time involved

Still playing the waiting game. I should get them by Wednesday. The bad news is I'm leaving on Wednesday to go to Copenhagen (Denmark) for work :cry:

How are you finding the new exhaust and rims/wheels Tien?

The tyres stick pretty well for the price and I've only done like 800ks max yes i did that since Thursday arvo

Love the look of gun metal

as for the exhaust love it too but its kinda a bit too loud

Normally cruising around its ok i don't mind the loudness as when your crusing you don't hear much

but when your going up a mountain like i did today you really need ear plugs LOL
mainly because I'm on low gear and on high rpm = to loud and seeing as I'm going up a mountain i'd be loud for the next 5 - 10 min or so
