Hi y'all

Located: Melbourne

Thinking of ditching my AVS Model 5's, 17" Silver. Wrapped in Advan Neova tyres, 235's front, 255's rear.

I believe the rims are 17 x 8 and 17 x 9, not 100% sure.

Front tyres are quite worn, rears still have some meat left.

Need to check, but i believe 3 rims are fine, 1 has some scuffs/scratches...

here's a crappy pic in the mean time...

anyone like these at all?

cheers,

daniel

not 100% sure, just seeing if there is any interest out there,

kinda have an idea in mind, spoke to a fairly large parts supplier based in melbourne who brings in a lot of rims from japan, and he told me a rough idea of what he thought was reasonable.

you looking for some new 17" rims?

interested depending on how much you want i have the same model size and all except mine are the pearl white colour.. i think i like the silver more.. send me a pm with a rough price.

nice wheels, what are you asking?

well, i asked a guy i know who brings a lot of rims in and he reckons ~$1800 is a reasonable price

I meant that "did he price them too high?" but yeah high nonetheless. 17's i didnt think would go for that much cause there are alot better rims second hand going for that much in good condition and some are 18's

define "better" :P

ok checked JMS, and like a few people have said they have the exact same rims, they are NOT the same.

There were TWO versions of this rim, the older being a power coated white Model 5, which IMO, doesn't look as good, and is a fair bit older. Please don't compare TWO different rims.

i got more pics

not as much tread now, as shown in these pics

JMS have the OLDER model 5's.

sorry Al, i think the old ones don't have anything on this design. They look cheap, the same style you see on Lancers with the red in between the spokes, looks nasty with that smooth curved surface.

name another rim you like in that style? you won't be able to. All the other 'favourite' rims are in "pieces". GT4's, the workmeisters, TE-37's, CE28's, etc, etc, they all have the "step", that bevelled kinda step... anyways, not here to debate rim styles, thanks for your post i guess...

Perhaps $1800 is a bit high, although these aren't cheap rims, nor do they have cheap rubber. I don't think you can just blanket say, for 17's is too much. It depends on the rims and rubber. Top Jap 17" rims can easily go for $2.5k with good rubber (2nd hand, yahoo auctions). And considering these tyres go for about $300 a corner, and they are genuine top-shelf Jap brand rims, it's unfair to compare them to some ROH/Tempe rim price.

$2799 for a set. JUST rims

yes, they are 18's or possible 19's, but it's the style to get a better idea. I'm sorry, but the older model 5's have nothing on this version

So you're looking $2.8K for rims, NEW, plus about $1.2K+ for tyres, NEW, pushing $4000 for this set BRAND NEW.

I know my rims and tyres aren't brand new, but just want to let people know exactly what's here. That's all.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
