Swap: My 18's For Your 17's

[TTT]

I have recently picked up my new whale and would like different wheels for it.

the wheels are on the skyline as can be seen.

no marks.

tyres have plenty of tread.

the fronts are 235's and the rears are 245's.

I haven't taken a good look to see the rim width, but I'd say fronts are 8 wide and the rears are 9.

5x114.3

Offset = ?? I'll check.

what I want?

17x9's for rear and 17x8's for the front.

with decent tyres with plenty of tread.

NO CHROME (unless it's on the lip)

would prefer light weight Jap wheels.

Would prefer dark wheels (black, gunmetal, grye, etc..)

QLD ONLY

Not looking for sale.. as I don't have a spare set to use.

the car is a daily.

So who is interested and what have you got for me?

Thanks Chuckie821 but they they look too similar to what I already have..

I'll pass.

[TTT]

hmmm.. I would have thought there would be more interest in swapping 17's for 18's with no extra money...

No offence, but your wheels are single piece and heavy (in comparison to Japanese wheels), that are considered to be “ozzie offset” (wrong/bad fitment). You’re going to have a hard time finding someone with 17inch Jap wheels looking to down grade. Let alone someone who will offer you some cash. I have a couple of friends who work at tire shops and you can get your wheels with a tire package for like $1200 new.

I’d try and sell them to some Falcon owner on the ford forums for $500

Offset doesnt look too bad actually but I prefere my ssr's.

I have a pair of buddy clubs i will swap you heheh

Nice opinion.

I'm sure you will also know that there are alot of bigger is better skyline owners who may have imported a car with a set of 17's they don't like.

thanks anyway.

Noel - thanks mate.. was getting a bit worried you were ignoring me.

Of course. I've imported a few cars with rims I've hated as well, But do you think their dumb enough to swap for a cheaper rim..

Only joking dude, glad to see you got a laugh out of it though. Your wheels aren't too bad actually. I think with some negotiation you can get what you want. People on this forum are merciless though. Maybe advertise them on the Ford or commo sites. Bound to be someone with interest there. I might take my wheels to Woodridge markets and swap for some crack and a couple of bananas. ( seems that's all they are worth) Lol!

LoL, yes. Stupid enough to buy the import in the first place!

*runs*

You in QLD or VIC?

[TTT]

You obviously have some sort of issue with me wanting to swap my wheels cause you don't like them..

and you have nothing to swap.

I don't remember saying "I'm looking for a dumbarse who wants to give me their 17 inch TE37's for my Aussie made apparently heavy 18's with no cash adjustment"

But if you want to keep arguing go right ahead.

Some people will consider me being stupid for going from 18's to 17's.

I also said, I'd "Prefer" light Jap wheels.

The only thing I said I wouldn't want is CHROME.

please.. carry on trying to make your useless point.
