17's for 140x40?

Went down to slacks creek today to get quotes for painting the tray and prices for some 14's. Only one place had the sunrayser type ones, but in one place a bloke was saying he was ordering in some 17's from Japan for a blokes vortex. Sadly, he reckons they would be over $200 a piece, as you'd expect so out of my price range.

If you want Sunraysia type, why not get Coyote's from Brett? They're only $75 brand new.
Every now and then you see Simmons come up on eBay. I've nearly bought some a few times 'cause they're so rare but fair dinkum, once you get a Crossbred kit your rim choices are amost endless.

Believe me if it didn't seem so hard to track down all the parts and install a crossbred kit i would have one by now. Sadly with my skills and funds it's probably out of reach. But yeah this post was more about the

for 17's in the old stud spacing, not me complaining about not being able to find my 14's

Howdy ChPLAT,

As a Vortex owner who'd like some big rims - can you divulge the name of the place with the 17s? The only thing decent I've seen so far are the 15" Superlites

Cheers

Yeah it was JAX Tyres at slacks creek. He said they were from japan and he was still trying to get them in.

I know I shouldn't ask but is there any particular reason why you want 17" rims ? I was reluctant to get 16's for my RX but the price was a steal (250 for 4 MY00 Rex) and I want to run four piston 294mm rotor brakes .

Cheers A .
