How do the Wileys compare ?
Rudy's tend to fit me much better than Oakleys.
I was checking the Wileys out in a catalogue not too long back when I had to buy some new orthotics for my Danner boots.
See, we have a sunnies thread after all DB :p
Dullbird, just watch the King Wheels. I have 15x8's in white and while i admit that my truck has sat around for a while the powdercoating is coming off and there is rust underneath that. I'm going to get them sandblasted and powdercoated black eventually.
From what I have heard the quality sunrasia style wheels have a bead of silicone (or similer) underneath the powdercoating in the gap where the rim meets the centre on the outside of the rim. This stops the moisture getting in and rusting under the powdercoat.
Hope this helps.

those ones that rick posted up does any one have an idea on price? would I be looking over 200 a rim?
phil also suggested getting the pro comp rims I think it was 180 a rim I think he said
Oh and box head yes I will get details off you only because my tree sliders need to be sandblasted and powder coated
went to milperra yres today which is a distributor for one of the links you gave me rick
he said he can only get them in 15's:mad:...I reckon he could of orderd them in but...
Anyhow I got a quote from bob jane black sunny's 16x7 80bux a wheel...
Sop becasue they are 80bux a wheel am I to assume they are crap?
and procomps $170 a wheel
At that price they would prob be the King Wheels. I paid $70 for 15x8's.
Thomas
will king wheels be ok? or are these the one slunnie suggest will buckle at the first knock
I havent buckled them but my paint is peeling. See the post up the page.
Thomas
yeah I saw that......when we brought our sunnys back in the uk for the 90 we wanted to get black and the guy we brought them from said get grey as they are the only ones that have a good finish the others wont last.....needless to say they the grey ones also peeled but after about 3 yearsQuote:

theres also a warning bulletin out for some types of sunraisia style wheels that have actually cracked the centre out of the wheel
Lou I got my black sunny style rims 16x7 with 0 offset from woonona tyres. It's a bit of a hike but I went in there with $1800 and told him I wanted 6 rims with Mickey Thompson MTZ's and all I was going to give him was the cash in my hand. He took it. $300ea for rims and tyres was a bargain I thought. I haven't had any problems with these wheels after 2.5 years.
Woonona is down woolongong way and their number is 02 4285 5275. Maybe worth a call.
