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.

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
