Hi all,

I bought these rims in the hope of fitting them to a Legnum I was interested in buying. As such the sale of the car has fallen through and I'm now looking to move the wheels on.

BIM Creative Studio wheels are made in Japan by Bridgestone. BIM Creative Studio is a sub-brand of Bridgestone similar to Advan is sub-company of Yokohama Tyre. They have recently re-branded the BIM ranges to be "Downhill Special" but as you can see from the link, the BIM is still in the URL

Specs of the wheels are:

  • 18x8.5"
  • +36 offset
  • 235/40/18 tyres all round (3 different brands)
  • Some shoulder wear on the tyres, most have 4-5mm tread in centre, one tyre is flat (apparently has puncture?)
  • Painted rattle can black.

The wheels do have gutter rash, which I was going to sand/smooth and have the wheels blasted and powdercoated. There is one wheel which may not come up 100% smooth, but once coated won't be able to really see much.

NOW as I havent had chance to refinish the wheels yet, I'm offering the following options:

Buy them as is - fix them up yourself $500

I have the tyres removed, Wheels blasted and powdercoated in your choice of colour, and I keep the tyres $700

I have the tyres removed, Wheels blasted and powdercoated in your choice of colour, and I pay for tyres to be refitted $800

Note: Willing to sell the wheels only interstate, I keep the tyres. Postage will depend on location.

    • 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... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • 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!
