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....

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
