Any sign of the hubcentrics yet?

No
It has been 2 weeks today since i put the money through.
USPS said the box was too small to bother scanning so they have no info.


On the upside, the guy i went through said he is chasing it up with them and if i don't have them by next week he will send another set priority at his expense.

Big Props to Takuban Motorsports for being abig help with these.
Also didn't have to pay any import duty/GST or Customs fees which was a nice surprise

I gave up on VMR becasue they couldn't give me what i was after and they seemed not to care as it would have been a big effort to organise something for someone overseas.
Have you looked into Miro or Raderwerks/Rotiform?

[Pullstarter]

Yeah they don't have anything I like/can afford in 20"s. Although I haven't looked on their websites for a while.

It is a shame.
The main reason i went 19" is the nice size of tyre and the fact most wheels over that size were a bit ugly imho.

Also check out tirerack?

Hubrings arrived today!
Wheels are being fitted on Friday!

Got to weight them and seal them first.
Was thinknig of PPF wraping them but i may do that later.

[team_v]

So i weighed the wheels.
Just under 8kg each

Also surprised to find the centrecaps and valves that normally cost extra were provided in the cost.

[team_v]

Car has been dropped off to have the tyres stripped and switched.
Also getting a wheel balance/alignment.

I have the centrecaps at home waiting to be put on this afternoon.

Cool, can't wait to see pics when you pick it up.

Here they are:



Noticably more responsive in acceleration, breaking and steering input.

Old wheel weighed in at 12.5kg each.
