I'd rather get HREs, thanks. Amazing quality multi-piece wheels from the US, with a known reputation. TheTunersGroup are the Aussie distributors, and they've had the courtesy of becoming a vendor on here.

I've seen ads for Show Wheels from car mags and stuff, but I haven't heard anything about them. Their style suits old-school muscle cars and 'rods as well, rather than more modern Japanese cars.

most 3 piece Work wheels can be custom ordered to any width and offset you want (or you can buy regular ones cheap, take them to a shop, have them taken apart, and put wider outer bands that Work sells separately on them, to bring the width to perfect fitment).

That's how I got my 18"x12" with -22 offset on my widebody. Perfect fit, no spacers.

Oh rubbish, even Volk custom sizes are generally between $1100-2k a rim. Nothing like $20k.

Volk, SSR, Work, AME and others will all do custom sizes within certain ranges.

Not to mention Simmons, ROH....

That said the KWC range on Showwheels site looks quite reasonable. I can imagine with satin or painted centres some would almost look classy.

^^Presumably in exchange for $20,000 and your first born child :P

7.5"x18" for starters, got em cheap at about $1000 for the set, got em pulled apart at a local wheel repairer a couple of streets from my house for $200. Each band cost about $700 for the genuine stuff. There was a shop down in Phillip Island who was gonna mill out some custom width aluminium alloy outers for a lot cheaper but something about Porche owners taking preferrance and me running out of patience saw me going the genuine route. Got the outer bands out of Work Wheels USA, who are a lot more competent that the guys that represent Work in Australia (or claim to be sole distributors anyways). The wheel shop then refitted the outer bands and resealed it including welding and gave em back. So all up about $3500ish for fully genuine, scratchless rims. Much less than what some guys ask for sunken battleship fitment wheels on the forums.

I then turned around and sold the car and the wheels for a small fortune to some random kid who wanted a fully sick drift machine.

The End.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out...

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
