Where's the best place to source new wheels?

[JaFF]

I've just had my car wheels balanced to find that all 4 are buckled. It was shaking at around 100kms so that's what prompted me to get them checked.

Now I'm on the lookout for new wheels.

Here is a pic of the car:

Something around 17". I have 18s now and the tyres cost a fair bit more.

What sort suit the r33 gtst (wine red) best? I'd like to stay away from chrome too. Takes to long to clean them. Also would like something fairly light, these chromies were bloody heavy!

What shops have decent prices?

I'd like to get them from somewhere like bob jane's where I can pay them off over 12 months but I don't think they have the brands I will be after.

Ideas? Suggestions? Don't worry about cost for now, just want to see whats out there.

Been looking for similar information myself Jaff, but for a HR32 GTS-t. You will find that most of the local pplaces like Bob Jane, Beaurepairs, Hancook have all pretty much the same thing and very hard to get a wheel with the right offset for the skyline with a 5 stud pattern. Not impossible by any means but limits your options. If you ask me ou can't go past some of the import wheels that come from Japan. Im looking at getting a set from thre myself and have a few pics if you want i can forward them onto you?

Good luck with find new rims

posting in this part of the forum sucks as no one reads it.

Anyway I was hoping people might post pics etc. What you paid (rough estimate). Where you got em.

my personal choice on rims: http://www.c-red.com.au/parts/buddyclub/p1racing.shtml

i have the p1 racing 1's but as soon as i have the $$$ i'll be going to up grade to the p1 II's

[JaFF]

wow those p1 IIs are sweet! Is that pricing correct? 1 wheel for $900? Bloody expensive!!!

[rsx84]

with the limited choice using 4x 114.3 with a less than 35 offset these were some of the best i've come across next to custom simmons or something.. all that said the P1 1's i have were half the price of the 2's very light and still look sweet.

[JaFF]

They are nice.

Anyone else?
