C'mon beavis, that's not helpful.

Best place to get some new wheels is at a wheel shop!

unless he mean't new Rims. For those you'll need to go to the Rim shop instead

I can appreciate this question... :D

I've been looking at potential New wheels.....14x6.5 preferred 15x7 max

Not easy to find 4x100 stud pattern +38 offset required

I've not found a Australian supplier....for these wheel specs
Easy if you are Happy to go through hassle and risk of importing from off shore
You can't demand respect....you have to earn it
NA8 for Fun, CX5 for carrying crap...;)

Seriously though, if serious post, more information needed. Do you want new or used? Budget? What are they being used for? Do you have horrible taste? etc

Tipping OP isn't big on details seeing his first two posts upon joining forum 1 mth ago were '16L or 18L' and 'Best place to get some new wheels!'

For 14inch alloys you're limited to either secondhand Japanese wheels, or new bob-jane wheels.

The width and offset are fairly common, and cheap, for the secondhand Japanese wheel market, your best option to find them in ebay, or one of the "JDM" wheel sale groups on Facebook etc.

New 14s as above are limited to what Bob Jane have in stock, which are usually vastly overpriced and only available in different levels of ugly.

Huh. Honestly I thought my original link was a dead link. I only posted it as a piss take.
