Had a set of new White RA-R rims put aside by Subaru over
east and was waiting on the payments details and they were
sold to someone else even though they they were tentatively
sold to me.

Shit happens, worst thing was they were less than half price
at $1500!!!

Just wanted to ask...Does anyone know if 1250 sounds right for a set of Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec's??

Tirerack has them for 127 each, but how much is shipping?
Im hoping someone who has bought from tirerack before can give me an indication of how much they charged for shipping please.
I've sent them an email about 1 week ago on shipping costs, but no reply...

I received a quote for 4 tyres, the shipping came to $275.00USD, it can range from $250-$300 USD for a set of four.

cheers

Does anyone have experience with Pirelli Dragons? I know they are an older tyre but I can get them within my budget and I was told they would be suitable for entry level racing etc.
Thanks in advance

you should really try St George Tyres in Sydney for some great prices and quick delivery http://www.stgeorgetyres.com.au/tyres.htm

I bought a set of 18" Pirelli PZero-Nero's for aus $1120 delivered to my door in 3 days.

Looking to get some Bridgestone RE001 Adrenalines for my 17x7.5, size - 225/45/17. Will 235 rub on GC8?

Whats the best place to get them, checked tempe and stgeogres, they dont have bridgestones listed on their site. Tirerack dont do RE001. Thought about Kuhmos KU36 but i dont think is a wise choice when it comes to durability.
