HI Guys
Need to source a RE050A for my new Rims.. the previous owner has 3 x RE050A + 1 x Kuhmo (Ecsta 31 from memory)
Looking to swap my Kuhmo (Brand New) for your Bridgestone.. Plus Ill pay a cash difference and organise to have the tyres swapped..
For all of you out there that have 18's factory and still have the original Spare tyre.. ESP if your in Perth Put your hand up.. I need an even set!

It just cost me $400 today, for a new one fitted, so that gives you a reference...

i would swap ya with my brand new spare plus cash adjustment.. but i think the shipping might not make it worth it for you..
find out how much shipping would cost and i will be happy to help you out

Hi Guys.. Thanks for the offers, Ill hold off for a bit and see if I can get a local swap..
Ric, interestingly you can get them for about $280 on ebay.. all the new Commodores with the 18's come with RE050A's so they are getting very cheap on the "new but used" market
NEW CAR IN 12.5Hrs!~!!

wow.. does look pretty enticing if i was gonna replace all my tyres..
what are your tyre speed ratings suff?? Do they match with the ebay tyres?

All the ones I can see on eBay are 245/45R18, which are too wide, we need 215/45R18.

See thats what happens when you dont check properly (as I didnt!)
I was just browsing and saw them (at the time, only having 17's I wasnt interested)
Good thing you checked

(although.. Lib's would look good on 245's) shame about the rubbing

sounds like a good excuse for a libo photoshoot/catchup? especially since the weather is getting better
