You can get fake Work Equips.. They are DRAG DR20's in 15x7 +10 offset.

Not bad for $300us a set, plus shipping. :shock:

But im sure they would be no match for real Equips, in detail, strength, etc.

Yeah on US ebay they go for around $300us a set. The real killer getting them here would be shipping. I would say around $1000aus for the set delivered..

Shipping for Chapparals which weigh about 8kg each was $380 US to Geelong; some companies have absolutely no idea and one Ebay mob wanted $600 US.

No, some do some don't.

Steven,

The Chapparals you saw on my car won't but the later ones on Juffa's will.
It is an individual thing as far as aftermarket wheels go. Not sure about OE ones.

hmm...i'm considering going down to 15' to get access to cheaper tyres as well as a not insubstantial reduction in unsprung weight.

Stock SE Wheels. 17x7.
Stock SE Suspension.
Dodgy 'Triangle' Chinese Rubber 215 / 45 / 17
Little noisy, nice ride(good bump absorption), very sticky in the wet, side walls a little softer than the original 205/40 Toyos.
Fill out the guards nicely but front left tends to rub on dips.
