New Wheels

Hi All,

Just a quick note on this guy who I bought a set of VMRs V710 from, he was the cheapest in Sydney, best value wheels. If anyone interested, you can contact Jin on M:0425 912 123.

Now I'm looking for some tyres, was going for Kumho until reading the Kumho factory in China adding too much recycle rubber to their new tyres that may cause the tyre to rupture.

Need alternative that won't break the bank, anyone used Toyo Proxes 4 or cheaper Archilles ATR Sports??

Second tirerack. Now with new and improved Aussie dollar exhange rate.
Tho I would still trust Kumho over Archilles...
Kumho are made in either Korea, China or Vietnam IIRC. Not sure if those claims of recycled rubber were ever validate.
But check out tire-rack... Yoko S.drives or Conti ExtemeContactDW etc for similar prices.
PM Gill@tirerack for shipping (competitive to say the least).

Try keeping it below $1k to avoid customs and GST hassles

BTW is the VMR seller you bought off also Pulteneygti that sells them on eBay?

I'm not sure if I can wait that long, want the wheels on the car yesterday.
The Kumho recycle tyres were on the news last week.

Yes Unkie, I'm pretty sure it's the same person selling on Ebay, he said importing VMRs didn't work out so he just wanted to get rid of them at cost.
