Best place in AUS (if any) that do 36hole 17" lips to suit work wheels? (Emtiz)

Have found a few places in the US that supply but exchange rate really kills it :/

Mike best place to get them is VR Wheels in the US thats where I got mine from but yeah exchange rate sucks balls at the moment.

Too fucking right Foff, when Craig told me how much, I couldn't believe it

[foffa]

Lips and barrels in 18" cost me around $1500 from Whitehorse. You'll never get a better price then that OS

Mike......why do you fuss about money still? you literally make it rain man. LOL
just buy the lips from the US. hahahaha

They are $200 US each the ones i found. That would make them about $280AUS each, which means $1120 befor shipping :/

Hi All,

So I'm thinking of building the Oz Futura wheels I have to fit my 911. I managed to source some of the old style caps to suit and as I have no intention of buying another car figured I may as well do something with them.

They are currently 5 x 114.3 and 17 x 8.5 all round.

Got quoted about $800 per wheel (just a ballpark figure) and that would be getting them up to around 18 x 9.5 for the fronts and hopefully 18 x 10.5 or 11 rears and will include everything required like PCD change, lips, barrels and measuring to get them to fit perfect without any spacers. Plan is to keep them silver and add the Porsche logo to the caps as per picture.



And the car they are for:


So just looking for opinions or if there is anything we might be missing. As the car is a narrow body with the wide body kit there are not many off the shelf wheels available.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Craig's goods help me win Best Stance again today.
Beautiful lipsssss

[Beware]

I think they'd be a great wheel on an E30, and they're in pretty condition actually with some decent dish in the rear which you don't see with the 16's much. If all that's missing is 2 pins then the price isn't so bad after all....I've got a spare pin you can have if you go ahead with them.

He has all four caps, just missing two pins. Buying locally is easier but yeah i understand what you're saying and you aren't wrong. I'm in no rush so maybe its worth holding out and hunting. I found someone local who can do them for $75 each, but yeah still all adds up. Just thought they would complement the E30 and not be another E30 with BBS wheels.
