Hi Guys,

Have a pair near new Nexen 235/45/18 tyres, with 18 x 9" (+35 to 40 offset) Volk F1 Challenge rims

tyres are worth almost $400 alone, and if you search SAU for what Challenge rims normally fetch, you'll see that between the rims and the tyres these are cheap as.

Wheels have pretty bad gutter rash, but are machinable.

At this price, I'm pretty much giving the rims away anyway, so think of it as near new tread with some wheels thrown in....

Pick up Bris CBD only. Freight would be an extra $100.

WHYYYYY!?!?!?!

Why arn't these in 17!?!?!

I would of snapped them sooooo quickly!

Awesome price!

Just a quick question?..

Any idea on the weight of the rim?

oooooh.... let me see how much cash i have left after paying everything off tomorrow when i get paid!

any guarantee that neither wheel is buckled?

no 'guarantees' no - not because I am dodgy, but because I think you'd find anyone (other than a business selling a brand new item) will be loathe to 'guarantee' an item.

I can so far as to say that the rear wheel (which is not one of these two) was badly buckled, but the front wheels (which are these ones) appear to be nothing more than very noticeable gutter rash. very ugly - but tyres excellent, and wheels look to be fine. I have the option to import another set of rears from japan then machine the set as new, but frankly, this is too much hard work for such a little amount of cash.

I reckon they're great value for what they are - perhaps if you can figure out a way to check if they are buckled? I know they roll in a straight line.....

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
