Not too bad.

I'm pretty sure they're selling the BF GTP rims on ebay, to directly fit an e-series. $880 without rubber (I assume), for 18's. They also have 17's and 19's I think, be interesting to see how much they are for rubber as well.

19" GTP Pre + AU Rims without rubber usually go for around $1,000

What rubber are you getting and where are you getting them from? And some rubber is cheap and nasty...........

Nanking is usually a good cheap tyre and there is another one around that I can't think the name of...........

They ar enot Race Car tyres but are good enough from al queries I have made

How much trade in are you getting on your BA XR's ?

I've been looking around at a few, but it's something I don't wanna rush out and buy, because rims are bloody expensive! :P

At the moment, I'm looking at those BF GTP rims, I love the look of them (slightly more than the XR8 ones), but would be happy with either of them really, as both are available in E-series offset, which is a lot easier than buying spacers.

I emailed the seller a week ago asking if they come with rubber, but he hasn't replied yet...damn ebay. It'll cost about $300-400 to get tyres for them, so I suppose $1200 for a nice set of 18's isn't too bad. Might be able to get them cheaper second-hand.

On another note, are you selling the rims, or trading them in? If you're selling them, what kinda price are you looking at? ;)

the thing is it was just a rough estimate at the time he was in a rush he said my rims are worth privately about 800 because of the good rubber (bridgestones) but they would only give me 600 for them now the rubber that comes with the new ones he said were falken not sure what i should do..... im thinking about selling my rims privately to make a bit more cash off them anyone interested :
