Wheels have arrived....
Yippeeee!!!! ... finally back onto the project.....
Aussie dollar rocks! Just got my wheels from the US. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._4659150_n.jpg |
looking good Auscobra.
Where did you get them from and how much were they all up landed in Australia? Stan. |
Welcome back Aus - haven't seen you here for ages!
I agree with Stan - more details please. Sizes of wheels/tyres? What was the breakdown of the freight cost? Delivery time? With the dollar above parity, a lot of people are keen to see where the best deals are to be found. |
One less excuse so get stuck in and get some plates on the cobra this year.
The $ is very good at the moment so spend spend spend. The Sumi's are good road tyres but not so good on the track well at least that's what I have found. |
Thanks guys, my mojo is back!!
Here are the details They're from Vintage Wheel Works Rears - 17x11's with 6" backspace Fronts - 17x8's with 4.5" backspace Cost $1500 Freight $950 Import tax etc $350 Total to door about $2800 From order to delivered was within 2 weeks. Even over Christmas!! They were out of the spinners so I'm yet to get those. I expect another $350 delivered for those. Tyres I bought a while back - Sumitomo 315's and 245's. |
Merv recently sold his VWW wheels with both the standard centre caps and the spinners. You might be able to save a few bucks if the new buyer (not sure who) doesn't want to use the spinners...
|
Yes Craig, but I think the spinners were to be used. I had same tyres as well.

Hey Aus, the wheels look great!
Can I assume correctly they are to fit the Jag hubs? I can't quite make out if they are 5 lug from the shots. Did you get the nut covers as part of the solution? Not sure if they are part of the spinners or another part. --JC |
Wheels fitting

Yep, fit jag hubs just like you have. I think i got the backspacing right as well. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...9&id=530279777 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...4&id=530279777 Certainly put a smile on my face getting them on today :3DSMILE: |
