Re: Winter rims...which one?

I like FRD 6, 30 or 50

Really though I'd prefer any of them .... whichever one is going to be the most cost effective ... these are just winter rims ... I just don't want ugly black steelies ...

Re: Winter rims...which one?

i like the frd 30 or 40
8" width would be preferred

the main considerations are:
painted only - salt will eat at machined (unprotected) surfaces.
simple design - salt and crud gets into the various slots and hard to clean areas in some of the other models.

as for tires, i am not a real pirrelli fan but may be willing to give their snows a try. would prefer alpins or blizzaks.
most pirellis grip well but let go rather abruptly in my experience.

Re: Winter rims...which one?

are you sure those will fit ?? (19s).... I dont see a fitment for them matching 114.5 ... I do for the 18s but not the 19s ... am I missing something ??

also how much a rim are these before after tax ... or would I just pay 7% on shipping ??

also will the 18s fit over the brembos ....?? and one more ..whats this anthracite ???

cause if there is a black chrome with a polished lip .. I may like these???

later man

Re: Winter rims...which one?

Dally, the rims are 1092 incl taxes. Shipping would most likely be in the $80 incl GST. As for fitment, i'll call tomorrow and make sure. The anthracite is like hypersilver. i'll find out more tomorrow.

Tabz, yes that is the quote for the FRD 68's in 19x8.5. It includes GST, once I find out where you are located you will pay exact shipping.

Re: Winter rims...which one?

I'd love to have a G35 coupe with brembo's come by so we can see the fitment. Email me and let's see if we can arrange a time.
