Going rates for new ssr and work etc rims

[jstylerobert]

Im getting parts put aside for ae86's etc and am putting a jap parts company price list together then i will become a site sponsor but im wondering what the going rate is for new ssrs and works as used wheels in decent offsets are still going for decent money and new wheels wouldnt be much more.

Please post what you would pay for a pair of new wheels

Ssr mk2 14x8-12 pr with centre caps

work equip 03 15x9+-0 pr with centre caps

hayashi's etc

And what brands would you like to be buying from over there?

[slide86]

$4.00 per wheel

Seriously, great business plan. You will go far.

[jstylerobert]

Wasnt looking for a wanky answer, just wondering what ppl consider going rates. I dont need answers for a business plan lol

[slide86]

Judging by this thread, I'd say you do.

[Delazy]

Give up while your ahead... Comments won't get much nicer...

[jstylerobert]

Nah thats cool but dont expect me to sell you any parts i sell lol.

I guess im looking for members who can afford to pay 1k+ for a pair of wheels.

[Delazy]

Dude, your a fool...myself and slide86 don't need people like yourself to supply us parts...we've both been in the game long enough to source our own gear...judging by your original post most likely gear that you have no idea about

[jstylerobert]

Haha your wankers theres no way you can get parts for what i can get them for so quit while your ahead, you fuckheads wouldnt comment in person like that to me so dont do it over a forum. Get your useless shit outa my thread.

[Jacobxxx]

I wouldn't buy anything off you purely based on this thread. Calling users on a forum you're looking to sell parts on fuckheads isn't very smart.

What would the benefit be buying from you rather than straight from work or ssr?

[jstylerobert]

Thats cool? I already sell via ebay (7yrs) but it all goes for top dollar, i have had many sprinters before and i wanted to simply pass on my savings i get for new parts. I couldnt care less if you or others didnt buy from me, but for the members that do see how rude
users have been to a new sponsor then they will still buy and enjoy the savings. Can you get up to 55% discount from work/ssr etc?

Unless you become an Australian dealer for said wheel brands or own a Japan to Australia shipping company you'd struggle to be competitive. Normally with a business game plan you would work out how much what your going to sell would .cost you and then work out a profit margin then see if its worth your time. Like others have said about attitude, don't bite at neg comments, bad word spreads faster then good

[jstylerobert]

Haha so far off man. I no the going rates in japan for used parts so i reckon id no what everything goes for over here. Only reason i asked the initial thread q is because i can sell with a respectful profit and only charge at used going rate. You dont need to be a big swanky businessman to buy from the jap companys, i buy enough from them that they offer me the discounts, they work on respect in japan, really wish aus would learn this. Postage on 86 wheels are easy as, can send them via dhl (mission with tax), ems air(for impatient suckers but only 7days wait), container(safe but timely, arrives bris then tnt posted to you), sal is cheap but easily gets damaged/lost and sea post which is 6-9wks to your door and cheap and i mostly use that unless im bringing a car or engine etc back.

Bloke is clearly a douche...Matt ban him already yeh? His not a sponsor...

[jstylerobert]

Already been speaking to him lol. Not a sponsor yet as i have 86 gear coming via container n sea post now and then will pay the 250 n site sponsor starts. If ya's arent keen ill jus keep selling from my other ae86dc accounts privately lol no biggie. You are a wank buddy

[McLEVIN]

What is your ebay/store name

[blair]

is this legit?

[Delazy]

Blokes on crack... Zzzzzz

[SnailCale]

Dear nicko! This has "epic thread" potential written all over it! Please file this accordingly...
Thankyou

"They work on respect in Japan, I really wish Australia would learn this".
Closely followed up with insulting potential customers. Screams quality business plan.

That being said, if you can really get the discounts to push a cheaper margin that you say you can, I will buy some 4x100 wheels off you if you post a link to your eBay store.

[Matt]

Yep for me... The better option is to set your price based on your margin and go from there.

You'd be surprised how quickly business can go quiet from upsetting guys on forums.

I wish you luck but based on this intro it is not looking good. It is easy to get parts from Japan and it is really only respect and convienance why we continue to use importers

[Matt]

Also guys , try to be nicer in future to new comers. Whilst you might not of heard of a seller it doesn't mean they aren't extremely useful either

the lead into this post could have been nicer, but I think you get what I mean
