Default After a couple wheel rims.

Hey all. I know this isnt really the place to post this but I thought it would get better coverage in here.

I am after 2 wheel rims in either 17x8 or 18x8 to put some darg rubber on. Something like old Au XR rims. If anyone could help please PM me.


Cheers..............Kev

I was quoted $25 each for 2 scratched up 17 inch rims from ferntree gully auto salvage. I just have to sort out what rubber will fit.

What are you going to use?

I can get you some 17x8 ford territory rims, brand new for $100/pair if you are interested. I have the matching pair and they work a treat.

They are no good unfortunatly. I got a new pair for a slab. They come a bit to far over towards the gaurd. No way 275 rubber would fit with out rolling the gaurd.

Thanks anyway

Hi Kev, Geea uses the 275 M/T on a BA XR alloy, may not be good for the street... but at the track there fine...
The roll out on the M/T are nearly all the same, just get 16 M/T and use your current rims...

Thanks XRFPV8,

These are not actually for me. They are for a new member 330+ Sliver boss. He couldnt get to a computer at the time so I posted for him just figured it was easyer than explaining the whole story ect.

I wish I could get new tyres coz mine are just about had it. I just cant afford it.
