http://stores.ebay.com.au/St-Tyres

fair enough this is from ebay. but there located in sydney.

i got my wheels from there and they cost my $560 without tyres but the guys was will to add tyres to the deal for $90 a tyre 205/40/r17.

anyway maybe just contact them and find out where they are in sydney and go check out what they have.

you wont be dissapointed with there pricing.(i wasnt)

and they crap all over the RJR wheels i first had.

heres a pic of both

the shadow chrome is what i got from st-tyres for $560 the set

and the bronze is RJR from bob jane they were $142 per wheel

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but i ddint exactly wanna start a new thread to ask such a simple question.

anyway, im finishing uni now so im going to tackle my mod list real soon.

the first on the agenda is new rims. im a noob with everything and ive been warned that i could get screwed over. i want 19s on my 07 camry altise and i was wondering what tips you guys could give me whilst purchasing them? eg what typa of wheels are best, what questions should i ask and the answers im looking for, what type of tire should i get (daily driver plus they have to withstand the weight of my car as i heard sometiems they screw you over that way) and maybe suspension and shocks advise (though i know its really up to me)

thanks in advance

I'm noob but I'll give u my opinion..

Wheels is a matter of taste. If u'r lookin for d best in terms of light-weight, go Japan's. They are mostly lightweight.

Then u should bargain till ur satisfied with the price. Of course u should ask the pcd and off-set to suit ur car.

With different car, there's a standard load-rating u have to fulfill through the tyres. Another problem if u go 19s, there's a possibility of scrubbin in ur car If u change ur springs and stuff. If u wanna change spring and lower them, choose a hard spring, not a soft one. It'll end up like mine.. <_< Unless u leave it stock, it's pretty much okay I reckon. But meh, 19s not lowered. Definitely wouldn't recommend... :lol:

thanks for your reply VF-X. i know that rims is a matter of taste, i already got a sorta style that im on the prowl for. and dont worry, once i get 19's im going to lower it within a week i get my 19's. what kind of set up do you have on your ride VF-X if you dont mind me asking? i want to try minimise rubbing as much as possible, any suggestions?

how important is PCD ? does it have to be exact?

PCD or Pitch Circle Diameter is REALLY important as it's in basic determines the spacing between the studs... Also number of stud is important when it comes to selection of rims. How much budget do you have? Are you after only style? Are you going to track your car? Cheap rims tend to be weaker "cast" type construct while generally the more expensive rims are 1 or 2 or 3 piece forged :)

Thanks for your reply DA,

i got a budget of 3k, but that includes tyres aswell. reasonable? and im planning to the baby lowered but somehow try to maintain stock comfort (or better. any suggestions?) so plus another 500-1k ontop of that. been saving for a while. but no im not planning to track my car at all. im all about looks at the moment (not practical for me to get a very powerful car just yet)

as for the style i want, its something along the lines of this;

those exact ones have a stud pattern of 5x112, so as far as i know it wont fit on my camry.

thanks for your reply fellas, appreciate it a lot.

cheers, prv8no

my memory is bad so im not to sure if the camry is a 5x114.3..

But if u want a similar style to that then try PDW C-16..

I kinda fancy those rims as well.. But need to save if ima get it..

Theres a place in Fairfield east called Tyre for less that would sell it for roughly $1800 with good tyres..

Thats alright man :)

You might want to consider looking around cause I know off my head there are a few guys that are selling 17" 2nd Hand rims from makers such as Rays, Enkei, 5Zigen, etc with tires for <3K if you like that type of thing, only issue is then I have no idea the PCD or optimal offset for the Camry =|

Personally I'd rather 2nd hand big name brands (good condition of course) over any copied rims simply because I know it won't buckle overtime due to crappy Australian roads. Generally they're lighter too so faster acceleration, less weight and better economy ;) Win Win Win...

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
