Hi all;
This S1 2008 VE I just bought has Brembos retro fitted and I don't like the Speedy 20" chromes currently on it, so as I am tending towards keeping cars more original, I'm looking for some S2 Redline rims. Which isn't easy these days (unless you want to buy one or two at a time and get them reco'ed). I came across this place in Sydney called Statewide Rims & Tyres which has a set of re-man Redlines and tyres (Faulkans) on their site. See pic from the site. Think they're in Guildford.
I tried calling them to ask a few questions but the landline has been disconnected and the mobile is not answering. I'm in Perth so I want to make sure everything is to my satisfaction before forking out this money $2800 (plus shipping!)
Couple of questions, has anyone in Sydney dealt with this place recently or previously? Seem to have reasonably reviews, but past experience has shown me that this doesn't really mean a great deal sometimes. Also can't see any recent reviews.
I have a feeling that they won't have them in stock, I have a feeling that they are just on the site as bait or forgotten to be removed, or maybe the company has closed.
Has anyone had Faulken tyres and what did they think of them? I doubt they'd be as good as what I have on at the moment which are BS Potenzas 20" 245/40
PS, it's interesting to me about the different sizes 19/18 and 245/275 front to rear - never seen this before on an Aussie car
Thanks for any thoughts.
