Rims What Have You Got

[discostig]

That's the other thing, I go through a couple sets a year. Hard to forget $169 fitted and balanced for KU31s in 235/45/17 or Invos for about $200 plus fitting...plus current rims are poo.

Plus you have FG ute that swallows rear wheels like a whale!

Rims are a grand for great nick SSRs, gf has no issues with it as she just bought a laptop and some new $600 mixer I'm paying half of!

I can see why Rota wheels are so popular with those on a budget, $250 each for new rims in 18x9.5 :/

Do I remember correctly that they are heavy and break though?

[Henz]

Nope they are fine! Had 2 sets no dramas.

I have 295/30s on my 9.5s.

Thanks Henz, yeah I found the massive Rota thread. Kept me up until 3am, and the set of rota's I want only come in 18x9.5 +20 :-( or even wider. Was going to get nice rims that aren't black like most of the others seem to be. The particular set are cosmic blue Grid R

17x8 +30 is no good,

Will post pics of black rims on lightning strike bf for you next week when they arrive.

Koya CR KAI copies in 17x8 +20 front and 9" +25 rears. Not really sure how they will fit up yet but they won't rub and should hold the 275 nicely.

Koya RG TEK looks like what you are after. Custom offsets too.

Thanks man checking them out now!

[Henz]

Steve, what sites where you browsing? Why not get a 9.5 +35 grid and powdercoat?

[The Converted]

Was just going over the order form for my wheels and noticed that the offset was different to what I asked for. Can anyone confirm whether or not they will fit;

19x9.5 +40 rear 275/30 tyres

19x8.5 +35 front 235/35 tyres

BA sedan with Brembo brakes on the front stock brakes rear

Worst thread on the whole site! Have now read through all 1135 posts.

KU31's are still able to be bought for decent prices in sizes that suit 9.5" rears so I'll be going the wider rims, why not. If I'm feeling rich can still try Invos from Taleb Tyres.

Browsing only a few sites, rotawheels.com.au and now the Koya site. Looking at rims similar to the SSR Type C RS I shopped in earlier.

I don't want to have to molest the guards as that means more $$$ so tell me if I'm on the wrong track with sizes, I'm not sure after reading all that who had stock guards!

RG TEK

So these are available in whatever offsets and the wider rears, but cost a fair bit more, was hoping to keep it around a grand.

18 X 8.5 4H/5H BLANK PCD from 100 to 120 OFFSET from 18 to 40
RRP$305 each +Freight (Estimated time of arrival 25/03/2013)
18 X 9.5 4H/5H BLANK PCD from 100 to 120 OFFSET from 18 to 40
RRP$340 each +Freight (In Stock)

Also looking at these similar rims but they are cheaper and not staggered, plus I can collect locally.

18x9 +27 5x114.3 Gloss Black $249.75

Will this width and offset look OK plus fit front and rear on an unmolested guards BF??? Not ultra keen on rolling, my suspension isn't that low at the front (King springs one up higher from SLs. SSL rears though)

Thanks for the help everyone Got very excited about the 7kg rims though :'(

Oh and I'd really like the dark blue look on silver to stand out a little from the sea of dark rims. Here's the other style that on the rota au site only come in 18x9.5 +20. Guess I could get the rims powdercoated later on. Probably need tint first hey, hahaha.
