Hi From Brisbane

Post by BUZZ_QWERTY »

Hi guys,
I recently bought an FTO GR for $6500,
I wanted a GPX, but I couldn't find one with low k's...
Haven't got any plans for it as yet, though I wanna replace
the Bob Jane 17" chromies for something decent.
possibly the 17" KG-5 made by King Wheels.
any suggestions would be appreciated !!!
THANKS

Hey mate welcome. Enjoy the site, plenty of helpful info and be great to see you at a cruise sometime, check out the qld section.

Yeah for sure...
Think I will wait until I get some new mags though...
The chromies are embarrassing, who knows what the previous
owner was thinking...

Actually, jap rims are quite pricey, so you might want to check out the ROTA range, or Lenso, and Gmax, you can find them on websites of QLD wheel shops.

Hey dude WTTC,

I was going to buy the KG-5 for my Black FTO (now the mrs's car) and still plan on her getting them for the car when she gets around to it, they are really nice, where did you find them/ how much?

I'm in Mt Gravatt With a silver FTO so i'm sure you'll see me around sometime..

My brother showed me some other mags that are similar on nissansilvia.com
they are $680 for the set of 17's plus if you buy tyres they will fit and balance
them for free... I will post the link if I can find it...
Does anyone know where the best place to get a stock steering wheel would?
