My friend at Bobjane is no more :cry:

Cheapest I could get from the new guy was

MA-V1 $159 fit and balance.
MA-Z4S $199 fit and balance.

not cheap enough. :roll:
Might have to look at some cheaper rims perhaps, and get good tyres.

Don't go too cheap on the rim... you don't want it to just fall apart while you're driving...

Yes, it has happened before.

My suggestion would be to save up for a little while more then get decent rims and tires.

get some 'decent' second hand rims either with or without decent tyres..

if they have 80% tread or something you can use those while you save up for new & better tyres..

you'll save a fortune buying second hand rims & probably get better ones than you would new.. just my 3 cents
