Beware when buying wheels. Some wheels are not allowed as the inserts (tri-angle cutout) removes more than 50% of the wheel circumference. The other issue is the majority of these wheels have to be welded fully on the rear (as they are only 50% stitched from the factory)
But wait... I got together with the owner of Performance wheels here in Tauranga and got them to import some wheels from china made to SNZ specs. They are fully welded from the factory, have a smaller cutout and are white powdercoat finished.
These wheels have arrived and we have been using them on superstock 23K. At present they are available in 15x7 and 15x8 fitments, 5x114.3 pcd (Falcon stud pattern) with a 0 offset. We are in the process of figuring out if any other offsets will be of interest along with different PCD.
The best thing to do is contact your local tyre shop, ask them if they deal with performance wheels. Get them to ring and talk to Nigel about what he has available, and tell him Rick told you to ring so he is getting value out of his sponsorship !!!

Are you look at importing and selling these wheels? And if so, how much? Do you have a picture? |

We bought an initial lot in to try, and also ensure that SNZ were happy that the wheels comply. Just as an aside the 15x7 wheels have a load rating of 2600lb which is huge, and an indication that the centres are plenty strong enough.
As explained above, Performance Wheels will be distributing these wheels. You can contact them via and Tyre Shop really, and ask them to contact Nigel at Performance wheels.
I can't say what another shop will sell them to you for, maybe if you ask nicely the shop you approach might do you a deal if you put a sticker on the car, usually works for me !!
Any questions, fire away,
Cheers- Rick
