Dont waste time with 15", you an get 17' tyres for the same price or cheaper than 15's anyway.

At least get 16's mate, paying for aftermarket 15's is a waste IMO...

^^^^ I agree, you'd regret waisting money on 15 inch 'mags'. The BA's come with 16 inch standard on the base models.

who makes those wheels(sparklers). csa? bbs? are they a chinese brand or something. I'd steer clear of cheap imports. Mate had a vs ute, got a brand new set of import 17in chromies and within 6months they were leaking air. Tubeless tyres weren't sealing properly. The chrome also started to flake away from the rim.
Cheers Luke....

They are SSA come from China. There is a 5 year warranty on the structure and 1 year warranty on the finish. So even though noone has heard of them i still think with the warranty's it should be fine. Researched today and found that noone has problems with them, they are equivilant make to a speedy rim but your not paying for the name.
Also i wil get rid of the car within 5 years so as long as it serves my purpose then im happy. |
