they are reasonably easy to get in tassie, just ask for performance challengers at a tyre retailer, shouldnt pay much more than 250ish a wheel.

those ones are almost always low offset - they'd fit the staz

fairly light, i was doing a bit of googling before and they seem to be about 9kg each...

redzone: im actually becoming quite fond of the xxr 513 in 16x8's gunmetal and 3.5 inch lip. might have to email them regarding offsets..

I know your local Tyres and More can get them in for you.

I think the performance challengers suit the shape of the staz. They are the classic 80's wheel design to go with the classic 80's lines of the staz.

i agree with that mate, but apparently a few people have told me otherwise, apparently it needs newer mags, but people need to realise it its not a s13 but a early 80's sports car.

performance superlites are made in some meaty sizes..



the only reason challengers are available in 16X10 is because they're made that size for 4wd's. do you really want a bogan fourbie rim on a starion? LOL


and hell yes XXR are cheap, i imported some myself in 15X7 +15 for my silver gemini and they cost me $604 AU as i found a USA ebay seller with REALLY cheap postage, who unfortunately isnt listing them anymore :(
