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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
