Hi there you may want to try Tempe Tyres but Honestly im not a huge fan of there.
Best you give St George Tyres a call that are on princess Hwy and ask for Jason they are 1 of the best around for price and service. But they may not have the rims you want. |

Thanks, I've also found out that Direct Tyres in Blacktown offer these rims for $1400 with tyres.

If you want the earlier series wheel(the nicer flat 5 spoke with the little grooves in the end of the spokes) then go to Eagle Tyres in Granville. I got 17's there fitted and balanced with brand new Falken rubber for 1250. Best price I could find in Sydney.

Wheels Direct would have cost me 1200 but I would have to wait for them to be shipped from Vic. and fit them all myself so I just paid the extra 50 bucks and did nothing! Lazy bastard I am. Oh and by the way, the rims I got require a narrower socket for the nuts. The normal wheel spanner did not fit in the new rims.

Yeah. I thought along the same lines! Can't afford the 18s. I'm quite happy with the 17s and they look good.

True that. I"ll have to shop around. not sure what they cost these days. Do I have to get complete set or just 1 nut that locks?

wfr, I have king superlows all round and atm I'm still using the std shocks. Saving for monroe gas but these are doing fine for now. I ddn't have to get my guards rolled at all and when I got the alignment done they told me I don't need a camber kit. So I"m pretty happy as I din't really want to fork out for a camber kit as well.
