Apparently i was told from a friend of a friend there was a great wheel shop in Sydney road Coburg (Melbourne) that does great deals on custom or rare wheels with deep dish suitable for AE86s ofcourse. Does anyone have any address or Phone #'s for this place

any shop that stocks rims for dattos should be able to supply the hachirustos with some shoes.

go the steel rims with extended lip, then powder coat it. Looks tough as and costs almost nothing, especially on oldschool cars.

yeah i here ya, most regular tyre shops i went to had sweet FA that was oldskool AE86 rims and anything they did have was crap newish stuff that just doesnt suit a sprinter at all.

Anyway doesnt matter i bought some grey 14" Watanabes(well copies probably) but doesnt matter they look sweet for now til i get some nice 15's http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

I think i found that shop too, they refurbish old wheels and can make you up sets etc. they are in Coburg just do a yellow pages search and you'll find them http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

Sorry pretty lame, but like i said i never 100% found out this is about as far as i got before i found some rims elsewhere http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

Rang around most stores and it seems i cant find this place, however you can buy custom made rims but they will cost around $380ea - $1500+ a set if 4 and take 3months! here is a link for those interested, i so far think yahoo auctions is probably the easiest! lol

He told me ML, CXR and MO are rims that are availble in 15x7 and 15x8 with offsets of 0-15 , they are custom so whatever you want really, it seems there are far more options on the links too some nice wheels but at 3months wait and $1500 youd have to be pretty serious about them

If it is the mag wheel shop next to the harely bike shop on sydney road, then I would go there they are very do very dodgy business there.
