Hey guys. Went into my local Bob Jane today and got some prices on 18's and 19's

They are RJR Tremors (about the closet to the style im imagining that ive found so far, 5 spoke, bit of dish) not 100% sure of their quality and i relise they wont be up there with what Japan offers.

These are the prices ive been given, your comments would be most welcome

Rims

18" * 8 Hyper Black $247 ea

19" * 8 " " " " $347 ea

Tyres

to suit 18" 235/40*18 $179

to suit 19" 245/35*19 $249 (the tyre prices are for their budget tyres)

I guess the main Questions are. Is the look of the 19's worth the reduction of ride quality over 18's, and is the look of the 19's worth the cost over the 18's????

And Mostly. Are these prices a Rip and i should shoot through and look elsewhere (I reckon i can do better for tyres through a mate. but I am more interested in your thoughts of the rims more so then the tyres

I also havent tryed negotiating price either. so there may be room for this to move.

I'm in the same situation, about to buy my first set of rims and was thinking bigger was better, but then you're always paying more for tires... im undecided what way to go.

I guess its a personal decision, if ya happy with 18"s, go with those, or if you want something a bit more special, go 19. I'm expecting 18's will be a bit more harsh riding than my current 17's.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
