Sorry to sway from the topic, but what would one expect to pay for decent quality set of 5 of these rims with shagged tyres?

Looks very clean, good pickup!

So did you just speak over the phone then get it inspected by NRMA or have you actually seen the car in person?

Sweet, must be the one that was for sale on these forums, very nice.

I wish I got a 5L now, you have done well!

Oh BTW, much better than the AU option!

Hey Lee, just found this thread. I'm sure you'll love it mate, it's been a great car to us. I just gave the missus a read of this thread and she's a little emotional to see the Fairmo go!

See you on Sat,

Cheers, Scott.
