New rims!

Postby Woodduck » Mon Feb 01, 2010 3:43 pm

Im extreamly excited! I picked up a set of genuine Kahn RS-V 19" rims off ebay this afternoon! Iv wanted these rims for AGES but the $1K per rim + tyres price tag was a little off putting. Anyway, found a set of ebay last night that, by chance came off a 07 Liberty GT-B (strange coincidence). They are 19" RS-Vs, with as good as brand new (only 10% wear) Yokohama tyres (which would have cost a packet....18" yokys were bad enough :shock: ), they have a couple of marks on them so i think ill get them resprayed down the track(not the biggest fan of how bring of a silver they are anyway...might go for something a bit more gunmetal), and 2 of them have small dints which the seller says doenst effect the drive, but he got quoted $200 to fix the dints.

All in all not a bad purchase for the grand price of $850 :D :D :D Even by the time i get them fixed up to perfect ill only be paying about a quarter of the price tag!

Vey nice. Post some pics up asap.

The spec b wheels u have at the moment seem to be pretty popular so you can flog them off for a good price aswell for other mods! :D

Wow! That's a great deal for Kahn wheels. I've always liked them and if they came in charcoal I would have bought them a long time ago. Hmm, I believe that set belonged to Adam from QLD.

Yup, certainly looked the goods! Haven't seen them in person as Adam's in QLD, but he's posted pics.

Awwwww man. That is the biggest coincidence EVER! Not only did I find those rims on ebay at the last minute, brand new tyres, came off same car. But that picture you posted, was the picture that convinced me that i wanted a liberty. That car infact. I remember when i first joined this forum i saw that pic, and thats what sold me (and thats what made me insist on having that/my colour aswell!) How is that for a small world! :D Ill always remember that llama in the background hahaha.

LOL! It's great to cross paths with the car that inspires one to get that same car. :D Hope to see pics of your baby with the new shoes soon!

Love the design! Was almost considering buying a set instead of the Prodrives... But I can assure you the pricing was not as you as what you scored! :D
