Hey good news folks, looks like im gettin a new set of wheels and tyres. Does anyone know where the good places in melbourne are for a wheel and tyre package? Lookin at spending 800-1200 and wanting 16 or 17 inch wheels.

17" tyres are like $200 each if u want something thats going to last any longer that 10,000ks.

you'd get an alright 16 inch tyre/wheel package for $1200. but the tyres aren't going to be anything special. porbably nankangs, hard compound for long lasting wear but you'll lose high speed corner grip.

$1400-1600 for 17s

16 and 17 inch tyres cost about the same nowaday, as 16s are uncommon in todays markets due to bigger sizes being wanted more and more readily available.

i'd add the $200 and go 17s.
