I never tried direct line, but arent' t you in central scotlanf, I'm in bristol..

Never mentioned any names!

I got some Axis Hiro's from states. Paid $1169 for 19in alloys. Got dealer to value at $600 on invoice so paid £80 customs and VAT. Also got them shipped to my mate who's VAT registered

I just took out policy with Budget for £694. 32 9 yrs NCD and one SP30.

Mosy internet websites started at low £500's but by the time u add in No claims protection and few other bits they all go up!

I have this morning. Just sitting tight and being impatient for my very heavy.... alloys

Shld not have bothered with Admiral, excatly same website format as Elephant and crap quote to match! Same underwriter?

Anyone know how to cotnact East Shore. Still not heard back re:wheel nuts..

Ouch!!!

Just sorting out the dreaded insurance. Best so far 644 with Budget (AXA). Tried elephant. Just givin Admiral a try

I paid just over $1169 inc shipping. 9.5 rear and 8.5 front.

They were on US ebay for $889 as the wheels had been used for photographs for magazines, but no mileage on them just tyres on and off! They look brand new.

Will do! Can't wait. Have 17in alloys at the mo, hoping these wheels will look the business!

I've PMd bigphil, will get the red nuts to match the chilli. Has anyone got a no for him they cld PM me?

I got the Axis Hiro's from states, but never paid customs or VAT. I thought you had to pay this on delivery.. Did I get lucky?

Just bought some 19in Axis Hiro wheels from states. Had tyres fitted today at a local garage. Cannot fit the wheels because the existing wheel nuts are too big!

Apparently I need 17mm or 19mm size nuts for the wheels. They said Nissan could sell me some, but I bet there loads of cash. Anyone know where I get these ASAP?

Ps where is the best place to off load some 17in standard alloys?

Cheers

Just had a price of £85 for Pirelli P Nero 245/35/19 for front and Pirelli P1 Rosso £120 for 275/35/19 on rear. This sounds like a really good price. Pirelli are top brand but anyone had any experience with these tyres? Also will it matter that the tyres are slightly different front/rear?

Thanks

Thta about what I have been quoted £518 fully fitted Bristol

I have also had a bad experience with chrome alloys before. They lasted 1 year and the chrome started peeling. The Ruff racing are triple coated, but whether this makes any difference I'm not sure. Any1 else had problems with chrome wheels. Think I like Axis best but if there the wrong offset, Ruff Racing may be the way forward.

Help needed.. Can't decide whether to buy Axis Shine or Ruff Racing in chrome.. both look so good. I have chilli. Axis Shine 19in are $1350 + $375 shipping. Ruff Racing $999 + $375

Love the kit, looks nice in chilli! Aftermarket kits notorious for not fitting and fibreglass that low will break when hit something.. and you will, been there done it!

IS this worth a punt, looks simila rot Ruff Racing stlye. Could get 1 or 2 more coats of lacquer put on?

Lomoto did you buy Ruff Racing wheels from states? IF so di you have to pay customs + VAT?

Thinking of buying them

I believe thats what they do. Never used or seen them. Anyone else used spacers?

Prefer the Axe Ap41 over Hiro's.

If I buy these wheels what is wrong with spacers?

Have another option now, Hiro wheels. Anybody got these. Look similar to Nismo wheels.

They do look nice. Particularly like the lowered azure!

Can you not buy spacers to push them out? PS if I sound like a novice thats because I am!

Just found them on Axe website. They only come in 35mm offset but they have a 350z with them on.

with 35mm does that mean they will stick out too far from the arch?

oops just seen the offset at 35mm! What do I need for the Z?
