Hey guys,

I'm looking at getting some new rims for my car, and have found some awesome websites, but none of them have stores located in Victoria.

I'd really like to at least see the wheels in the flesh before I made my decisions, except the only places near where I live supply those ugly, cheap rims you always see on Falcodores.

Any recommendations on who I could call and visit?

Thanks.

By the way, I live in Frankston, so would rather eastern/south eastern stores if possible.

ask the interstate companies for freight prices

would only be a few hundred dollars for a set of wheels - if that

I know, just worried that they'll look different in the flesh than when they're prettied up for the camera.

Anyone had any experience with buying interstate like that? Some nice wheels on St George Tyres that I like the look of, just worried they'll come in as the wrong offset, he the brakes, etc.

The ONLY guy you should purchase wheels off is Jesse Streeter.

Fair enough, you cannot see them in person, but he will bend over backwards to help you out. I think I sent around 30 emails to him before deciding the right size, offset and colour of my TE37's.

I bought my wheels from Thuy at J-Imports indirectly from Japan. Ray's LMGT4's (18x8.5,18x9.5) in black. I would buy wheels from him again. In Springvale.

Definitely worth checking out what Nam has available. Msg PhantomR32.

Also heard great things about Streeter.

Cheers.

What sort of price am I looking at for a nice pair of rims? I'm not looking for anything rare, classic or special. Just something that'll nice suit the car with a bit of width in the rears and doesn't have a ridiculous offset (like my current ones).

The front page has some spelling mistakes and nearly zero information.

What have you bought off him?

I occasionally need to source things from Japan and a good supplier would be nice....

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
