Those kind of rims don't suit the trx unless you have a decent paint job/body kit...

Which rims are you referring to?

not to be a tall poppy or ba$tard or anythin, but i think we're talkin about the the rims that i posted last nite (or whenever)

also Rake: "Drift R" sound like sumthin that ROH does, as it sounds familiar when i was lookin at their website and majority of their "street" wheels end in a "R"

Could be, if you mentioning "Shift R" in the other post with the pics is incorrect :)

Who knows, I'd have to go ask.

just checked the website now, and there is a Shift R (the pic i posted), Drift R (5 spokes), Boost R (wide space 5 twin spoke). tho the "R" is only on a few, not many  :-[

Must've been the Shift R's I saw. 7 Spoke. Shadow chrome, looked good. Though I'd happily settle for a simpler grey, bit cheaper too.

i like the look of those rims, but shudder at the thought of those on a u12/UA... (rims in first post)

go down to some tyre joints and ask around, you may find a good set of 2nd handies that look micky mouse and suit the car, but until you see them on the car, you wont know what they are gonna look like... too many people fk up by buying rims that look good.... when they are on stands in a showroom

definately agree. tho on the bob jane t-mart, CSA and Motegi Racing website, u they have a "virtual wheels" thingy where u can pik ur car and see what different rims will look like. Tho CSA and Motegi don't hav TRX's as a template car, but Bob Jane does. Motegi also have a Nissan Sentra (or sumthing like that) which KINDA looks like a pinny.

anywho, i'm all in favour of gettin 6 or 7 spokes for me TRX (all this wheel talk makes me wish i had the money to go get what i want....  :'()

Does anyone here work in a beaurepairs or similar wheel & tyre shop in the Sydney area... I'm gonna be in the market for a full set of rims and rubber soon.

edit: otherwise does anyone know of some cheaper places around Sydney that wouldn't overcharge like a tyre shop in the lower North Shore would?? Any good/cheap shops out around you Rake?

edit2: what do you guys think of this rim Apec Septick: http://www.stgeorgetyres.com.au/SeptickS.html
bungs has them on his car http://www.antrx.com/mr/display.php?id=58
I really really really like 'em. bungs would you mind if I used the same set of rims [at the moment it's purely speculation as I don't have the cash for new rims]

I reckon those rims look damn good, especially against the gunmetal of Bungs' car.

As for the shops around Sydney, your better off putting that in the NSW section mate.

Those rims look really good mate. I wouldnt worry too much about whether or not someone else has them, your car your money, but its nice that you have asked him.

Shop around though, and dont forget, if you find the right place they will allow you to test fit a few different styles.

Don't know of any good priced places around here tim - never been wheel shopping before. I'm going to see about the price of those Shift R's (or whatever theyre called, the sexy 7 spoke ones) tomorrow at Tyrepower blacktown, I'm getting a wheel balance and stuff done for the track.

I love the wheels bungs got. He got them for a good price too, they're definatly one of my options.

Tyrepower blacktown, bloke said ('off the top of his head') $260 per rim. Just a touch over a grand for the wheels, which isn't too bad, but then you have to factor in tyres and such, so you could be looking at anywhere from ~$1,500 to over 2 grand depending in what you wrap them in.

They're a new wheel from a seemingly reputable / experienced manufacturer though, I guess you get what you pay for (when compared to your 1-grand common chrome cheapie deals from Tempe).

Maybe somewhere else does em cheaper though.

Dumb edit: This is in relation to the Shift R's
