I've ordered my timing belt kit from Camskill, and decided to throw in a set of Magnecor leads since it was in my postage limit :lol: Didn't realise our aussie dollar was so strong, only paid $230 AUD for the lot including shipping! :cheers:

So I attempted the DIY wipers and vent things, turned out quite well me thinks! The blades had previously been painted red and whoever did it did a shocking job...Wasn't even primed and the paint had run really badly, looked awful...Looks sooo much better! :)

So my time has come to finally be rid of the old wheels and get some new ones!

The only problems are A) I'm on a budget of give or take $1500 including tyres and B) I don't know what to get!

I'm wanting to get something brand new, preferably from Bob Jane, tyre centre etc, so I don't have to f**k around with postage and second hand issues. I've had a browse and I found around 8 sets that I think look good on my car... What should I get?!

CSA Razor Black/Machined Face
CSA Speedster Black/Machined Face
Enix Wheels Senator Black/Machined
Osaka Wheels Chaser Black/Machined
Ox Wheels 626 Black/Machined
Osaka Wheels RS5 Black/Machined Lip
Ox Wheels 801 Matte Black
PDW Wheels Fuzion Black/Machined Lip

If anybody has the time to look these up and tell me what you think... Let me know your opinions!

i had a look through all and i prefer the Osaka Chaser wheels

however i only like that rim cause its close to the style of rims i like, like these
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Set-4-ADVAN- ... 2c68155a19

just a suggestion u might like these rims seems close to the style of rim you like

My faves so far are probably the Enix Senator... Will I be needing to make any modifications to my FTO should I want 18s? The Bob Jane site says they come in 17 but all other sites say 18 is minimum size... :?

one of the guys that commented on my thread ages ago about rims said his 18s never scrub his rim dimensions were
18" x 7.5" with +42 offset. not sure about the tyres though

So I have a $1500 budget!! Got the cash all good to go now, but I'm still trying to pick!! I'm currently looking at Sparco RP03s or Gmax Drift 6...


What's everybody's opinions? I'm also thinking of Enkeis as well, but I can't get anything too pricey...
