Wheel rim for GU

Probably not much good to you, however I purchased three brand new genuine rims from Perth 4WD Centre about 6 weeks ago - still in the box. He charges $110 each however if you buy a quantity I would haggle. The company will freight the wheels, but I am not sure of the costs involved. Much better than the $400+ that Nissan dealers want.

i work in a tyre buiseness and we get so many people coming in asking for rims 16x8 that later in the year my boss is going to china(about tyres) and is going to look at getting some made so maybe in a few months maybe no good to you now we should have some cheap rims should be around$40-$50 but we will see if we have any luck i will put a post up unbelievable what nissan want

Hey Spy
I'm after a couple of new nissan rims too
You dont have a telephone number and address for Perth 4WD Centre ,just did a Looksmart search and bugger all came up.

Any help appreciated.

remembering that there are lots of cracked GU rims around... Go Cautiously..... Its a thing Nissan replaces all your rims free if they find cracked ones.

Second Hand... CAll the bloke at G&C Comms in Cranbourne Vic, he has a full set forsale.

OK you guys, remember I posted the question first so give me a go, don't muscle in on my replys and white ant me, I'll continue to chase up my request and let you all know if we can do a deal. Stay posted and I'll find something during the week.
In the mean while all suggestions still appreciated.

Howdy there, Try ringing around a few Bob Jane tyre stores, they fit fit mags to a lot of GU's and some of the owners dont want the old standards back, i got my Gu spares from them some time ago.. Cheers Michael

Hi Cocka,

Ring around all you local Nissan dealers, spare parts section and ask for 2nd hand rims. They can usually be got that way, particularly if there's been a special on mags. If they don't have them, most will take your number and get back to you when they come in, although you may have to wait a little while.

A few months ago we located 3 for our new campertrailer from Giant Nissan in Perth, $100 each brand new, one still in box. Got another one 2 weeks ago (for a 3rd spare between car and trailer) from Mandurah Nissan, $75 cash brand new still in box and came with genuine wheel studs and the black plastic cap that goes over the hub. Pity you're not in Perth, they had some left. (We considered buying them all to make a bit of money on).

OK, so your not in Perth but you may have some luck using this approach where you are.

PS: We tried tyre dealers and 4WD wreckers with no luck.

Thanks all for your time and good thoughts. Local Nissan dealer - zilch. But phoned a few of the local tyre/mag retailers and have found one - $77. I will check it out today to see if it's OK. Here's hoping, keep your fingers crossed for me.
