Has anyone had any experience sending wheels interstate? I've got no idea

I haven't sent wheels interstate but mine came from interstate via courier and they had heavy duty cardboard on the front and back of the wheels and then wrapped in a substantial amount of black pallet wrap. They had tyres on them though too.... but they arrived safe n sound!

Ive also had wheels delivered via courier from interstate, mine were bubble wrapped inside the original boxes. The boxes were labelled 1 of 4, 2 of 4 etc etc from memory.

What? This is new?

This has been going on for as long as I can remember. Only back in my day, it was black only, and it was the size of the band that determined the 'penalty'.

But won't somebody please .. think of the CHILDREN.

*eyeroll*

.. it's sensationalist reporting and crazies coming out of the woodwork purporting this is new and 'omg how terrible is this' that is wrong with society these days. Stab 'em all.

I'm going to start my own business. Importing and retail for cotton wool ... the demand will be high in the near future as we wrap ourselves up in it again and again. I'll be rich!

:D

Yay, Dropped my car off at Horsepower In A Box today, getting Belts, seals, water pump replaced. Oil and filters as well, having a GT3076R, Haltech E11v2, Nismo 740cc injectors, NGK Irdium plugs, Superspark Coils and a Hi Flow cat installed and tuned this week. Expecting about 250-280rwkw, shall post up videos of the power runs if and when i get them, as well as dyno sheets when its done.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
