Bob Jane are pretty good, $70 + $7 per rim to swap tyres. Most Bob Janes should be a similar price

Depending on how much of a good bloke the guy at the tire shop is, the price will range should average from around $50 to $95 per rim.

I got my 15x8's for $55ea (I got tires with them too) :D

I did a heap of ringing around before I got the price I was looking for.

If I was looking for a good cheap sunny I would be asking for "Speedy Desert Rat 15" x 7" ET-15"

Anyone in Melbourne looking for a good deal on 4x4 rubber and wheels should speak to 'John' at Beaurepaires Richmond. He gave me the best service and price by far! He is keen to do more 4x4 deals!!!

What rims did you get with that much offset? What brand exactly? The sight lists nothing I can find. I'm sure I've asked this before too.

They'd be kings, which is why I asked cause I'm pretty sure someone posted that (-18) before and my ears (eyes lol) pricked up thinking sweeeeet more offset than speedy's but I could only find -12 on their website.

Thanks for the help. they are for the mrs car and she has seen the new vitara and wants a set of those 16's. Does any one know if they will fit?

If it's off the late model GV they won't fit a sierra because I got a set and there was no way they'd fit! They have a smaller PCD than the sierra and also have a positive offset which doesn't help turning and and wheel clearances on a sierra. The cheapest rims I could find in 16inch were a set of sunny's and they cost me $95 each.
