Default pre-au rims, WHERE ARE THEY?
anyone have a reliable, reputable, non-'mobile number only' source for pre-au wheels? i'm after bf cobra's in white, but can't find them other than at a 'place' on ebay.

An ebay seller use to be a Forum Sponsor - goes by the name of Wheelmags

Wheelmags is their Web Name to sell rims but they are actually a Thomastown Bridgestone Tyre and Wheel Center - i think its Thomastown............

This is where I got my 19" Cobras and Tyres from and its also the same place many many other AFF members have bought rims or tyres from

eBay store http://shop.ebay.com.au/wheelmags/m...._from=&_ipg=25

They dont have any Cobras listed but send him a pm message through ebay and see what he has in store or can get in for you

Wheelmags list the cobras as "BOLT" style wheels - prob due to copyright

Ask to speak with either Joe or Matt and tell them that Nathan told you to call them (they will look after you). They have a lare selection of wheels, and are the largest indipendantly owned Rim ship in Aus. They can get you any rim you want and Ship AUS wide. Even if you want a rim nobodies ever seen before or out of america, they have all the contacts! ...

They can also fit any rim you want onto any car, no matter what anybody else tell you! ... Probably your best shot mate ;)

Give them a try and let me know ;)
