deesh Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 last week i ordered 16" ROH adrenalin in chrome, with 225/50 tyres. That price was pretty good, $1650. I was sposed to get them this week, but the guy rang me and said ROH lost them, or something along the way, theyd be another 2 weeks. He said hes not happy wit them, and hell try to get me a much better price per wheel or something. Then i get another phone call, and he has managed to get me 17" blades, shadow chrome, with 235 tyres for $1700 instead, fitted tomorrow afternoon. The guy has done a good deal for me, so im gonna give him a plug. Avanti tyres in rockingham, sort of know the owner through dads work, so maybe thats why he tried hard, but if youre after wheels, give them a ring and see what they can do. Im very happy with hows hes handled this. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/3402-stroke-of-luck/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyzerr33 Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 it means there tyres are cheap for a reason usually poor quality and where out relatively quickly Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/3402-stroke-of-luck/#findComment-57206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostzor Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Well while were on the topic of 'stroke of luck' i just had to push start all 1.6 odd tons of supra ahhh... what a stroke of luck:lol: U never realise how heavy ure car is until u leave ure lights on and have to push it up a hill:uh-huh: And poor quality and quick wear dont go hand in hand. My tyre are pretty cheap and they wear fast but grip real hard in the dry. But not so good in the wet.

ix9 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Originally posted by skyzerr33 it means there tyres are cheap for a reason usually poor quality and where out relatively quickly I disagree.. I have 225/50/16's (Sava Rapidex) weren't the most expensive tyre... but for $119/piece instead of $180 i usually pay.... and lasting 60,000kms!!! And I drive like a tool most of the time, so other tyres (read: $180 worth) havent even lasted mt 30,000kms yet.. and they're nearly bald! :eek: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/3402-stroke-of-luck/#findComment-57607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deesh Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 Have you had simex tyres before? I have had them on one of my previous cars, and i thought they performed better than the G-grid's on my last car. These tyres, that i picked up today, are nice and sticky, and the last ones didnt wear quick at all. They might not be the top of the range, but they are at least middle if not better. Overall I was happy with how they handled the situation. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/3402-stroke-of-luck/#findComment-57711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
