Limited wheels for r33 gtst

[bazr33]

Hey guys,

i went into bob jane today just looking at wheels

as i was bored , and is just down the road

ppl in qld in brisbane ( taringa)

ya mite know where it is

one of the fellas that worked there, asked me as i walked in

can i help ya and all that crap .

i said just looking thanks

then he said what car are ya lookin at putttin wheels onto

i said the skyline parked out the front ( r33 gtst 1993)

he then said, well ya goin to be very limited in wheels, because of the offset ?

Is this true?, just had me stunned and i said righto.

walked out and spun the wheels up the road, cause he just pissed me off with his attitude. ( After i thought this was not appropiate behaviour hahhaha pffttt)

As i have had my skyline for nearly 8 months now, and checkin out most of the skylines on the road and what wheels they have , and the different styles i have seen , got me thinkin does this fella know what he's talking about . or is there majority of the ppl out there running round with the incorrect offset wheels on there cars.

Just to let yas know im not goin back there again, and thought the guy was a tosser.

Is there any good quality wheel shops in the brisbane area/gold coast, that you would recommend for price, quality and service.

THanks

If i have put this thread in the incorrect forum im sorry .

i've never had any problems gone through 2 sets of tyres, 1 set for front, 2 for rears. 235s 40 17's (front) and now 255 40 17's (rear). goto a good tyre dealer, they will help you out, they're making money after all

the dude is talking crap

Two things, have a think about how many different types of wheels there are in total. Now think how many of that massive amount might be properly suited to a skyline, including clearing brakes etc, and without the use of spacers. Id be guessing its fairly limited compaired to some other cars, and in to the full range of wheels that there are.

In other words, dont be a twathead and give 'hoons' a worse name than they already do. The guy at bobjane would probably tell you to get stuffed if you did go back there.

I dont know mate.

I (and quite a few other members here) have always been to Bob-Jane Taringa and they have never been anything but helpful. One dude there is a bit up himself (name starts with T). Milton is the franchise owner and has always looked after me.

Go in there knowing what size rims/tyres/offset you want and they can check it up on the computer - you cannot expect them to remember every appropiate offset for every car.

How can i be a "twathead" for wanting a set of wheels,

and giving hoons a worse name ? how exactly? by havin a look at the wheels they had to offer , then gettin told ya have limited choice in wheels for my car. then driving off

If thats what ya call being a hoon nowadays, well looks like im a hoon.

fair enough to other cars, skylines are limited for wheel options,

but as i was sayin i have seen a fair number of wheels on skylines,

that im guessin are clearing the brakes, and hopefully have the correct offset, and track .

Also as i didnt say in my first post there

i did say do ya have any wheels here that fit a skyline

and he said no, and the wheel dealer or wahteva, wasnt open today.

I thought fair enough, but he could of given me a number to ring to arrange at lookin at some wheels or wheels that would fit ?? I would of been happy with that.

but he then walked out the back , and then i walked out.

He just had a attitude of not wantin to sell anythin, and not wantin business.

And as for him tellin me to get stuffed if i went in again,

I Dont want to go back there so fair enough,

and i believe i didnt do anythin wrong, he was the one being rude and not wantin to do business.

Anyway thanks for ya post!

yeah well the guy i spoke to prolly is the fella that starts with T

cause he did seem up himself.

i Dont expect them to remember every wheel, for a skyline, but he could of helped a bit with showing me different wheels, giving me some numbers to ring, and where i should go.

As i dont know the offset and size of rims and that, i was originally just goin in there to have a look, that was it.

Im sure that most of the ppl that work at bob jane at taringa, nice and helpful pppl, but it just takes one person to ruin there reputation.

As for me , i probably would be able to get a set of nice mags there for a good price, that would fit, but i choose not to go there again.

If anyone knows of a good wheel shop, with a wide range of wheels to look at, i would appreciate it.

Thanks
