WTB:OEM 18 Wheels

sydneyman · 12-02-2010, 07:54 PM

I would like to replace my 17" OEM wheels with 18" OEM, either 162 or 188 or 189 for a reasonable cost. Thanks.

you may find the stock wheels would have run flat tyres on them... upping the costs

sydneyman · 12-03-2010, 06:33 AM

RFTs are always costly. Have found some for sale in US, any idea what may be the shipping cost? Anyone?

Hey mate I have a set of 18" 189 Wheels that have about 70% RFT on them that came standard to my e93. If interested contact me on 0401 636 054 as i can not PM you as i dont have forum privalages. Im sure we can arrange somthn as postage of wheels from the states cost a fortune trust me on that one. I recently got a set of 19" BBS CH's from the US and postage was US$800 plus i paid US$3500 for a second hand set with no tyres and that was the cheapest i found. So almost 5K landed things we do for our toys ay... Hahaha... Hear from you soon mate.

Cheers Andrew

AUSTRALIAN335I, are these the wheels you're talking about?

Stuart@BMRAutowerkes · 12-03-2010, 08:00 AM

Those are style 189s, so as long as AUSTRALIAN335I got his numbers right then that is correct.

$800 for rims posted from the US is pretty steep!!

No luck so far and seems the shipping cost from US is rather high. Anyone has any idea where can I find the cheapest shipping from US? Thanks.

I am shipping my wheels & tyres and some other stuff from http://usatoaus.com (Glen on parts@mail.usatoaus.com ). They are waiting for a container to be ready to be shipped to Sydney so not sure how many months that could take but at $250 with shipping plus insurance for the wheels and tyres, is surely attractive and I am in no hurry, will let you know if this is the best way when I receive them

WOW...that is far better than a quote of over USD1500 that I got for a set of wheels and tyres. Would love to hear from you, thanks in advanced.
