Champs,

Looking to start purchasing for my baby

. Very interested in a set of VR G2s as seen at http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=298668, but given they are special orders, WSTO actually needs to order from Japan, deliver to the U.S, and then ship down here. Would any of you locals know where I may be able to place an order here in AUS, and maybe save a few bucks? Or any Japanese/HK sites I can inquire at?

Looking at the Advan RZ's as well, but I like the Rays better

. Advan's can be gotten cheaper @ advanshop.hk for those that are interested!

Cheers,
Mic

Contact Henry @ RMS motor parts

I have to visit him and his newborn at some stage. Tell him Taka wants to call him.

PS. Henry is from Hong Kong.

Thanks for that Taka, I will contact him.

I have also gotten prices from OTR motorsport, not quite competitive enough but this is before bargaining

takahashi · 12-17-2009, 06:53 PM

I have not spoken to Johnny (EDIT I just remember his name now ^^) from On the run.

Well they are all importer. I will say the lowest price wins. Try also Donellans in Box Hill. But I am sure Henry is very competitive. I ask him to EMS a spare wheel for my RX-8 within 3 days, work out it is just 1/4 of the price that Donellans charges me. ..... go figure.

Called Henry this arvo, very nice over the phone, price is very good and very tempting. Will have a think about it tonight. Cheers Taka for the heads up!

takahashi · 12-18-2009, 05:33 AM

No problem mate. Must catch up and show us your Volks. You can buy me a beer if you like then.

35xx mate, about the same as WSTO shipped if you don't get hit by GST, and cheaper if you do. Aussie dollar's gone down again.

Brissie · 12-19-2009, 08:29 AM

Thanks. Is that for 18" or 19"?

18". I'm referring to the Ray's, and I believe only the 18" comes with our offsets.

takahashi · 12-20-2009, 06:47 AM

Remind me what the offsets are. I can find options for you.

WAY · 12-20-2009, 06:57 AM

What are the offsets for the RAYS?

Liub · 12-20-2009, 07:02 AM

Front: 18 - 8.0 +45
Rear: 18 - 9.0 +50

Taka:
I'm reconsidering, 3.5k is a lot of money that can be spent elsewhere on the car... hmm...

WAY · 12-20-2009, 07:41 AM

Michael, wanna buy my BBS RS-GT? Fully forged 2 piece. Very aggressive fitment. 18x8 et35 and 18x9 et45...

3500 is a good price for a set of Volks in 18"

That's what I thought too Taka...

Liub · 12-21-2009, 01:25 AM

Oh no doubt, happy with the pricing - nonetheless it is still 3.5k + tyres for a car I won't receive anytime soon! Still debating :s.

Heading back home to Taiwan for 2 wks, will figure it out then!

Ryan@IND · 01-18-2010, 07:00 PM
