sparco rims
 
Has anyone seen or used these rims before, i was hoping of putting them on the 86 once i get it, they are really cheap which is also the problem.

The Sparco Racing Range provides safety and comfort for both drivers and crew with a wide range of FIA and other motorsport body Approved equipment.

so i guess that is a bonus...

I'm fairly sure they're made by OZ, so the quality should be fairly decent. And apparently they're TUV approved so they're (probably) not deathtraps. These Sparco branded wheels are just your run of the mill cheap, heavy low pressure castings. I wouldn't use them on crappy roads with 30 series rubber, or for trackdays at Sebring, but they should hold just up fine in less abusive conditions.

I see thanks mate its would be pretty reassuring if they were Made in aus

LOL. He means made BY OZ. OZ is a wheel manufacturer. http://www.ozracing.com/

Also Tirerack is a company in USA. If you were purchasing though them you'd be paying several hundred dollars for freighting them over the pacific which would probably negate any savings you were hoping for.

Why does Australia have better wheel manufacturing facilities than lets say china or Japan? Or better standards and quality controll?

I thought they were made in Australia I'm sorry gents and anyone know any good freight companies?

FYI Jax aren't a reseller of OZ wheels any longer, unsure of why they advertise them on their website.
