I recall, (i think it was fatz) suggesting a few couriers to get some wheels from Sydney to melbourne.

Doesnt have to be overnight courier or anything, but cheap would be good.

Anyone have any suggestions.... for a lazy $100 im a chance of getting someone i know to backload it on a trip back to Melb, but id rather spend the money and get the rims now, not when he can do it.

Having sent rims interstate before I used Scotts Transport at Revesby. From memory it was $40 for a half pallet. Only catch is you have to drop off and pick up the rims from their depot. But if cheap is your aim it can't be done any cheaper than that.

Ok, found the details anyway. Their melbourne contact details are:

19-21, Link Road, Brooklyn, ph: (03) 9314 4877

and in Sydney:

Scott's Transport 202 - 214 Milperra Road Revesby, NSW ph. (02) 9773 3355

Your rims are ugly anyway, you don't want them...  

But at least they're nicer than Chris's ones :spew:

:)

I prefer to be called ugly then WRXBOY... :Oops: Note to self : Gold was a bad move :throwup:

... i want to be like Steve, got one of his turbos, half the driven wheels he has, and now got lookalike wheels :cheers:

..and thanks mmmGTIR

p.s. Scott's transport told me they don't do small or personal items.

The bar stewards. They've done it for me a few times now. Wheels (a couple of times) and a cat back exhaust once too.

hmmm. I *may* have given them the impression that it was a business thing though. But I sure didn't supply any ABN or anything and I paid in cash.

I posted a set to melb not long ago, about $70 from memory....just get big box :D

The Post Office generally wont accept anything over a certain girth. Can't think of it off the top of my head but it's listed on their site.

I just had to pick up an exhaust system from the post office, a "trainee" accepted it for delivery then the postmaster there had a hissy fit and handed it back. At first they said anything with a dimension larger than 150cm is too big, then he said 100cm....

Need to find a courier asap... if all else fails I'll TNT the sucker.

Still doesn't change the fact that your rims are horrid. Ever wonder why no-one out here has them?

Whose rims...mine, your kidding right, they rule... i like to experiment with colours :P

Scotts wont touch them, but just founf a place called Vic Valley couriers that will do it for $60, an acquanitance (i have no friends because my wheels im told are lame:Oops: ) has used them without probs.

Since they are so ugly you are probably right to wheel them out and leave them on the curb unitlt hey get picked up, they wont get stolen, but their ghastly appearance might drop real estate prices in your streer :Oops:

Yeah, Andrew's rims are the shockers. I can't comment on yours Troy cause Steve's got them too... although now they are the RVR rims. Go the Spastic Van!

Might look different on the car though, have to wait and see. If I'm bored I'll put them on my car :P

    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
    • That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
