Im after some of these rims for my Foz. Im not interested in tyres as the tyres for the liberty would not have a high enough load rating for the foz.
Cheers, Pete

How are you still looking?
TempeTyres / Wheelpower, $500 for the set....surely that is cheap enough?

Yeah, Cheers mate.
I know this. Because of this 2nd hand rims shouldnt be any more $250-$300 depending on condition.
If they have a tiny bit of gutter rash that doesnt matter.
I didnt realise tempe tyres had them aswell however

Okay no worries.
By the way, you should give Tempe a call at least and see how much they are offering the rims for now, those prices might be dated.
Also it wouldn't hurt to ring up Subaru Docklands (if you live in Vic) and ask if they have any of the rims. Because they are the ones that sold them to Tempe / Wheelpower in the first place, you might be able to find a set lying around that they forgot to get rid of and get a dirt cheap price?

Tempe has them for $100 a pop with no centre caps.
Cheap fake STi caps would fix that though.
And quoted $220 for KU31s, Im happy with that

I think you're dreaming on the price - the prices Wheelpower and Tempe are selling those wheels at is a low second hand price - it's not a high new price.

yeah, i know this.
As they are brand new, the price of 2nd hand rims should be relative to that.
They are priced as demand dictates, as the are priced at $400 a set brand new, 2nd hand should be significantly lower

Technically the ones from Tempe/Tyrepower ARE second hand, as they were used on the cars for delivery km's.
To want cheaper than $100 a rim is just silly, they are all in perfect condition.
