R34 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 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. http://www.hotrims.com.au/ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/106130-hotrims/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchy_ Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 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?

SLIPPERY Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 well, the rims dont seem to be displayed in the windows anymore and the 'hot rims' sign seemed faded, like it had been painted over maybe they have moved?

MacGuyver Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 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.

_8OO5TED_ Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 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....

caminperth Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 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... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/106130-hotrims/#findComment-1970876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R34 Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Yeah I delt with him before. He's OK. Didn't realise he did rims so I'll give him a call Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/106130-hotrims/#findComment-1971625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVL R33 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/106130-hotrims/#findComment-1975653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
