Has anybody dealt with them before or know of anyone who has? They look pretty well organised. I am thinking about buying some 17in nankangs from them $120ea + $10 freight. My main concern is their delivery, as I need them within the next week or so...

Any recommendations would be tops.

Cheers

Cal.

Dealt with them also about 8 months ago. They were good to deal with had the wheels sent to Sunshine Coast and had them in 4 days. Good prices too for wheel and tyre packages! Just make sure you confirm everything before they ship.

Good luck with the new tyres

they are good...i bought a set of rims off them when i used to live in sydney...stay clear of ozzytyres- they are the worst, and big 0 tyres are just as bad

Totally agree Ozzy tyres are knobheads. I went there to get new springs in because the previous owner had chopped them and I got defected for it. I told them that I had to clear a defect, drove from Newcastle to Sydney, buggered around all day getting them fitted, got back home, went to a workshop to get it cleared and I was still 2cm under height. Ended up buying 12 rubber blocks, jacking up the car and jamming three in each spring coil, drove VERY carefully back to the workshop, got it cleared and sold the car 3 weeks later. Everything was falling apart from having such a harsh ride for so long.

Long story short dont go to Ozzy ;)

You, might be the Knobhead,selling your car to some poor unsuspecting person knowing quite well it wasn't roadworthy.

Just my opinion though.

yeah a mate of mine has bought 2 sets of tyres off them, 1 set of 20" rims and a set of 18" rims all came within a few days and no problems with them. just make sure if you need offset or anything you state the correct offset to them and spacer size also. these are the most important things.

Um no actually if you read it properly i got the springs fixed, and the problems i had i only found out about every time i got a service. And she got an NRMA inspection before she bought a car. And i took the rubbers out. And dont say its unroadworthy because of the height, how many cars sell while being too low?

I have a set of 255 nankangs on the rear of my 33....

They are falling apart.... Way toooooooo soft.....

There is rubber all up the back of my car all the time.... No burnouts either.... They are really tight but very fast wearing tyres....

At the price i cant think of a better tyre tho.... For price/km's traveled i think there pretty good.... Just hate the rubber all over the car...

i need sum 255 tyres soon aswell for the rear. i also have nankang ns II but i have them on the front. they are a soft tyre but they seem to grip ok but im going to get a tyre that is a bit harder compound for the rears bcoz i just dont think they nankangs will hold up to the rear end torcher. there just too soft.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
