RIMS from the USA

[wade193]

I've been searching for options in Australia but the range and choice rubbish.
I found this tonight and it made me envious. They offer world wide shipping and said it would be approx $600.

Big rims aren't for everyone but it was always one of my plans when i bought my Navara. The size can be changed on the left.

If anyone has any more links to USA sites that will ship post them up.

If your not in a hurry and want to save some bucks you can have them shipped from Indy to Melbourne for about $50 a wheel ( you would need to ring Kevin for a quote) with Cheetah Imports . I had them bring over my suspension gear at way less than normal freight

Who did you go through from India for suspension? Also OP what stud pattern are you going by?

I'm in no hurry as i want to do a lift first.
Indy as in India? Any links to wheels there?

LOL Not India ,,,INDY and in Indianapolis in the US. I got all my gear from PRG Products.
Just remembered that Discount Tires in the US is a sponsor on the Club Frontier site .http://www.clubfrontier.org/forums/f66/
The D40 Navara is almost identical to a D40 Frontier sharing many common parts etc. The D40 and R51 worldwide both share the same stud pattern of 6 x 114.3 or 6 x 4.5"
Just be aware that many websites will say the wheel fits bit in fact its designed for the Dodge Durango. Same stud pattern ( only other vehicle with it) however our brakes foul on the wheels .

The search continues.
I thought you meant Indianapolis, but thought i'd check haha.
Thanks for the links. Did you get tyres fitted as well?

Whick frontier tho pro 4x4?

 

[Aussie Frontier]

I had to buy my wheels here due to the fact I couldnt get anything I wanted when I was chasing wheels . They will do a full package for you however if you go over the magic $1000 mark you can get hit with duty and tax
AFIK all the Frontiers run the same pattern so I usually choose a Nismo or even select a R51 Pathfinder

Have you seen the range at Ozzy Tyres. Delivery is free Auzzie wide and the wheels are fair priced. They have heaps of American brands.

Mate you can buy AMERICAN RACING wheels in Aus.

If you go to there site you will be able to use the dealer locater.

I know they have a dealer in Hoxton park NSW and one in Archafield QLD

Has anyone found a simulator you can upload a picture of your car to and it shows what the wheels look like on your actual car?

Used one a couple of years ago and it was really good but can't find it now.

Saw that ute again, took a quick pic but was very quick as it was absolutely bucketing down.

Wheels didn't have anything written on them that I could see, didn't see what size they were either sorry, like I said it was bucketing down

I am thinking you mean this site

Just remember that Wheel Import companies in this country have to pay big time with Tax and Duty and they have to pass those costs onto you
If you bring them in yourself you can avoid those same tax n duty fees .

Anyone else notice on the mambotheme website under Nissan frontier wheel range it says "the frontier can accelerate from 0 - 60 in just a few seconds"

Really....

Aussie, last night when i was doing some looking for rims i had an American company that sells all sorts of rims quote me $700 just for freight on a set of "TRENCH" rims, the rims were $630 a set.

$700 for shipping is a little steep imo

 

[Aussie Frontier]

Oh ok I thought WheelBoyz was the Aussie importer for those wheels .I think from memory Trench wheels were around $300 per wheel when I was looking .But that was a while ago.

Something like this is $116 per from Discount Tire Direct in the US

Free shipping to Indy then maybe $50 per wheel with Cheetah Imports and it starts dragging the dollars way down to say $700 Au landed in Melbourne for 4 wheels
