15" roh adrenalin - advice needed plz
« on: Aug 17, 2004, 02:15PM »
Hey guys and girls...went down to bob jane today to look at some wheels.

Im able to get a set of roh adrenalin 15" mags with Maxis tyres ( I think there maxis-cant quite remember exactly) There shadow crome in colour...i can get it for $1100 which includes fitting, balancing, wheel allignment, wheel/lock nuts, another alignment after 5000kms and free tyre rotation and inspection for the life of the tyres.

What do we all think...need some advice please...

thanks guys

shop around that sounds VERY expensive for 15' roh rims...

you could get some tricked out jap rims for cheaper...

try looking 2nd hand too...

Well everywhere ive been to has quoted me around the 1200-1300 mark for the same rims... I think the reason theyre a bit more expensive is because there the shadow crome ones...the silver ones are heaps cheaper than these. But this is the best deal ive come across yet.

thats a sheite price. go elsewhere. get them in performance brand. they are exactly the same as the roh adrenilin. they are called performance tempest. man i got 16" tempest for that price with expensive tyres

yeh overpriced. from memory shaunk got 16's on his pintara t for the same price or a little cheaper. definately shop around.

roh are just like any other no name brand really. sure roh get a little more street cred, but there is marginal difference between them and other brands.

alt make a good wheel and so do hr. they're ranges are both at good prices too.

i agree with everyone else, overpriced, you should be getting 16" for the $1100 mark.

is your n13 a hatch or a sedan mate? i reckon these wheels:



would look real good on a dumped n13 hatch. they're anz alias.

csa edge would also look good




but yeh, dont get smaller than 16 you'll regret it later. as for insurance, i'd take my business elsewhere.

hmmm...well on the insurance side of things its under mums name so its cheaper...but id rekon that change when i move down to melbourne anyways so ill look around and see whats down there...

Any suggestions on insurance down there...preferably pay by the month

have done a quick ring around to a few other tyre places on the gold coast and for the same package i was quoted anything from 1200-1500 so yeah...im thinkin it may be better if i wait till i get down to melb and have a look around there.

Its a hatch...im not a real huge fan of the 5 spoke styles...http://www.roh.com.au/pages/html/home.htm u can see the style of the adrenalins here...these are the ones i like more.

well get the ones mattius suggested then. if you want pay by month chances are you'll have to go with a big company and you wont get insurance for wheels more than 1" wider.

well, it looks like you have 2 choices
cop it sweet if you really love the wheels, or go somewhere like tempe, and get something else cheaper

have you tried really bargaining? trading in your old wheels (if theyre worth anything)?
let the places know of other prices you have found and see if they will drop theirs for your business

I got my 16's for about $1200 or so I think, the ones that are on Urq's car now.  They are Speedy Longchamps.  Shop around, $1100 is a tad steep for 15's and plenty of 16's come out in 6 inch wide, not just 6.5.

BSA make copies of heaps of wheels for a fairly good price, including Adrenalin's.

Homer!  What have you done to the car?  I don't think it had broken axles before.

Before!  Before!  You're living in the past, Marge.  Quit living in the past.

What, I never said I didn't like it asshat! :P

At least I don't think I did... but if I did, then I'm the asshat.

Mine are sets of two spokes (check in the members rides)... They don't 'stick out' as far as adrenalins though.
