Got em Through Wheelworx in Adelaide for $275 per rim!
Im happy with the price because when I got a quote from my local Beaurepairs they told me $350 per rim! :evil:

Im still waiting on them so Il post some pics when they arrive 8)


thats actually not a very bad price at all :D considering my XXR's are 200 a rim.

very keen to see pictures.

depending on camber, you will need to make love to your guards and then abuse it a little (i.e lip as much as you can then pull/flare etc)

in the end of it all, it depends at what height you want your mx to sit at, you could get away with being a little higher then me, otherwise the stance will be all wrong.

Apparently the "gtr" superlite is recomended for track only...... They said 4 to 6 weeks from date of order! :(

They are 16x8 +4 ........ though the only marking on the rim itself that indicates what could be offset is "N 4" .....??

Yeah i intend on slamming it...... half tyre under guard on the rear is the look i'm going for...... Think a set of "BC coilovers" from nz..... hopefully they will get me low enough.
