Hey Peoples

If I went down the road of new wheels, what's available for a reasonable price. I like the superlights, but just wondering what, if anything else is around. I'm talking 12's or POSSIBLY 13's just not sure If 13's will fit in without further modification.

Any links to pictures etc or suggestions of where to buy without a 3rd mortgage would be appreciated.

hmmm. all depends on how much you think is to much.. :lol: my 10x6" just cost me $1800 :oops:

If you are after the 12x5" superlight style. jump on ebay.. 700 or less will get you a new set with tyres..

I think of the top of my head the ebay store is wheels online. or they may come up in the ebay search mini /cars/bikes/boats

Cody :wink:

Yeah, Tempe tyres will do a 12 inch superlight copy with tyres for 700. They're the same as JAM's and I'm going to try his on my car to make sure the offset and brake clearance is right.

I was just wondering what else was around - I know I'll struggle to get anything comparable to that price, but you can only ask can't you 8)

I just got my new 12x6 Revolutions from here, they are pure sex! They cost me $700, not sure if you can get them locally though, if not you'd be looking at just over $700 without postage & import costs.

I'm assuming this doesn't include tyres?? I can get 12x5 Superlights - genuine performance brand for around 150 each I think, but still gotta get tyres.

The copies for 700 including tyres are winning at the moment, as long as they are the right offset and clear my brakes.

Bob,
