The mag shop in Osborne Park.

Can anyone tell me if they have closed down?

Been there 3 times now during business hours and they were shut.

Turned up at 4 today and there is a sign to say will be open at 10.30am tomorrow but don't know how long that sign has been there.

have you tried ringing them? they should probably give you a straight answer.

the site also says "We are currently in the process of opening our brand new store in Osbourne Park", perhaps they are only open for a few hours so they can set everything up?

those kind of places only really have commodore and falcon rims and not too many jap rims

obviously theres MR mag, again i dont know how many 'great' jap rims theyve got but worth a try

have you looked at the sponsor on this site selling wheels from jap auctions?

he always has sets coming in

I didn't think they were open on a Saturday; they weren't on the couple of Saturdays that my friend and I went to have a look. This was a few months ago however. I pass them on a regular basis and didn't get the impression that they were closing.

took 3wks to get my wheels, which initially was sposed to only take 4 days. never got any calls to say there was a delay, had to call them EVERY TIME.

got given wrong lock nuts, now i need 4 new studs.

customer service, they have none.....

u get what u pay for i guess, i am very happy with the wheels but thought that dealing with a local company would have been easier than dealing with over east, now i regret it....

Just got my tyres from a bloke called Javed at WestState Autobarn in East Perth, just next door to the Golf box at the East end of the tunnel.

I can't vouch for dealing with him extensively as he just put 2 tyres on some rims for me, but he had a Sh*tload of rims floating around there. Big ones too. Can anyone say 19"x13"?!?

Could be worth a look...

Chris,

Buy direct from japan. I got my works wheels recently through Perfect Run, took about 10 days door to door and saved a heap of cash... The guys there are great, have bought a lot of stuff and never had a problem.

They don't list rims on their website, but tell them what you want and they get it....

Highly recommend them...

Even with customs duty, gst and inspection fees it was still over $600 cheaper than any local shop could supply them for...

cheers

Brett

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
