well my new (second hand) wheels arrived today from Uk.

here they are some of the only wheels that will fit over my vented 7.5" minispares calipers.

Once I get them repainted and cleared they will be on and looking fantastic.

I love Mamba's.... im still trying to decide between them at 12" superlites.

How much did they cost to buy and get shipped over from the UK? (if you dont mind me asking) and how long did it take?

thank's guys,

well I bought them off Ebay.uk and you have to check with the seller to see if they are happy to help out with shipping cause most say pick up only etc.

i paid about $160 aus dollars for them but the shipping was the killer, it was really hard to find a company that would take payment from me not being in uk. work even has an account with tnt but they wanted $600 to get them here, in the end between myself and the seller (who i must thank for being a top bloke) we found a place it they were just under $400.
not bad not great but i love em and they fit over my brakes so that is the best part.

sorry gaf i will not be selling my Cosmics at all. they are for the next project.

oh and yes they are very light approx 3.5kg per rim no tyre, i will weigh them tonight and give accurate reading, my 13x6 superlites are over 6kg per rim and the Cosmics are close to 5kg


Grant

mambas!

mine are off the car now as i was told they stick out too much (10 by 6) so have got to get around to putting some bigger flares on. mine came with another car, but to get new nuts and centre pieces from england cost a fortune (about $250 if i remember correctly).

Minsta, Minispares sell them and the caps are only 2 few pound each and the nuts are 2 pound each, my parents are heading over to the uk in a week and they are getting me a set of centre caps, but i am sure youcan get the nuts here.

I got a mess to call Rob from SA back so i will call him today, thanks for that mate :wink:
