WTB: some neat cheapish aftermarket wheels - VIC


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm after some reasonably priced aftermarket rims for my 260z to make it look a little tougher.  I am pretty keen on some hotwires or simmons or something along those lines that won't break the bank, as I will eventually step up to some Rota's or Watanabes etc...when I have done all the other bits and pieces!  Does anyone know if BBS ever made rims with a 4 x 114.3 and 0 to +15 offset?

 

:D

Never seen the words "cheap" and "BBS" used in the same sentence! Best bet would be to get some good deep dish Performance wheels or look for something second hand. Even Simmons second hand demand high prices. Performance wheels are about $235 each for a 16" x 8"...cheaper second hand.

 

Best thing is to check Benzed's shop as he sells plenty of good second hand wheels...

I figured the BBS reference would look strange.  I was thinking about BBS etc when I upgrade to some nice wheels.  Just want something reasonably priced to get me through until then. Will check out Benzed.

Hi There

 

I have a set of ROH 15" five spokes that are illustrated on the first page of my 'Brown Hornet' thread. These are straight wheels, thta come with almost new tyres (about 205/50 or 55 series). The wheels are in good condition and come with the OEM centre caps, but the best way to wear these wheels is to paint the spokes black and run standard alloy or polished lips. Have seen these wheels used on many early zeds and they do the job nicely.

 

$400 for four wheels with tyres !!

 

Cheers

I was going to hang on to these a little bit longer, but might as well sell them as I am going with zg flares and wat's.

 

17x7 inch APEC alloy wheels (ET40). Nice dish.

40mm billet wheel adapters / spacers to give zero offset

Nexen N300 tyres with approx. 1000km on them (90% tread) 215/45/17

 

Can freight fairly cheaply (depot to depot) with e-go.

 

$500 the lot or $450 without the wheel adapters.

 

PM me if interested

Just bit the bullet and with the strong Aussie $$$ ordered a set of these bad boys!

 

Still keen on Chris240's wheels to have as spares, so if you can get a good freight price from the berra to Melbourne, let me know and I'll transfer you some $$

After reading a lot about all of the different wheels I bought a new set of the Rota RB 16 x 7".

 

I got a sweet deal from the US - about $700 USD delivered to my door.

 

Unwrapped them today
