Any Suggestions On Wheels?

[tford6]

Hi everyone,

Just after some idea's on whether to buy new wheels or not.

My tyres are about had it and for a couple of hundred bucks more I am thinking maybe a wheel/tyre deal from somewhere.

Any advice/pic's/links would be appreciated.

Thanks

Bob.

I think that you might either want to look on the second hand market or see if you can swindle a trade on your rims on some 18's as I dont think that budget will allow you to stretch to 19s

Here are some Ford Falcon specials offered by Tempe Tyres...

And here are some 18" package deals from the same place...

And another one, Wheel King, they are located in Melbourne but do ship interstate...

I know 1200ish bucks isn't much,I was lucky enough that my wife let me get the car in the first place,trying to save a deposit for a house.

Don't want to push her too far...Ha Ha

if your after a different look for the car why not just lower it and keep the stock wheels. Its cheaper than wheels and well tyres are cheaper on stock 17s to.

I'm facing the same dilemna. The original Dunlop 3000s will have covered 40000kms by the end of this month, and due for replacement.

Originally I planned on a set of 19"s, but after driving another XR6 with 245/35 19"s found the ride too firm for a daily driver and family taxi.

Also, there is a fair price hike for the larger size rubber, and besides, I think they would make my stock BA brakes look.... inadequate

So now I've settled on 18"s, and leaning towards Lenso Sagas. With Kumho 712s, hope to get them for around $1400.

I also like the Apec AP Design in shadow chrome, but sort of got lost against my car's dark duco. $1300 on eBay with Nankangs.... hmmm
