I actually really like your original 16s. How much did you pay for them?

Well guys after poking my head into "OzzyTyres" i can gladly say they are the biggest bunch of F%$KHeads in the business.....not only did they want to sell me the CE28N Time Attack rims for $1000 a pop with no tyres, he then asked why i would put these onto an Astina!?....I replied by asking him who owned the Pimp RX8 at the front (which i knew was him, i serviced his car last!!!lol) he relpied by saying it was his and then i said who would buy a ****ty RX8 when you can get and RX7 FD for half the price...I walked out pissed....so Keith 4 Wheels better deliver...For me the only thing worse then being ripped off is being offended by a Wanka...
Putyourshoeson: There are 2 versions of the CE28 that you have there, the widespoke (the replica that i found) and the one that you have in that photo is the multispoke one, If i had a choice id go with the the widspoke ones personally... John.

Ok guys so i went to Keith 4 Wheels and Street, Wheels and Tyres (SWT) and got some quotes:
Keith 4 Wheels: $1600 with NEXEN tyres Street, Wheels and Tyres: $1600 with NEXEN tyres or $1050 W/O tyres Both are 17 x 7JJ +40 I personally would go with SWT because they are affiliated with work and i know the guys there are awesome blokes. We'll see how it pans out. Bourbon, what Offset are yours mate, something like yours would be awesome (except for the 18" part...lol)

zappy assuming you want Nexen N3000's in 205/30/17 (i think thats what mine are) you can get them for around 105 a tyre fitted, so 420 for all. thats a little cheaper than what they've quoted. on the plus side they'll fit them and any damage they'll have to fix
oh, the N3000s are decent rubber, stiff sidewalls though, i feel a lot more bumps now than with the silverstone ultra low profiles despite having a much bigger sidewall. on the last cruise to coolangatta the dodgy gc highway ripples were killing me

At $105 per tyre, they cannot be that good for 17s. Have you asked for something the next step up for a quote? It's amazing what $25 per tyre extra can get you performance wise.

ryan these $105 nexen (down from $160, loooovvvveeee special deals) are out performing the $200 silverstones i've had. the only downside is the rougher ride, i wanted the kuhmos but i can't justify that for my uses

If your worried about just getting rims, get them to put a stinky set of nakangs on, would be cheaper again I would think?
