chip Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Just bought my first Altezza, a 1999 AS200 at auction last Fri. Actually bought for my wife to be (getting married this Sat). Real simple question to start with, do we use 91 or 96 petrol. Also we don't have alloy wheels. How do we go about finding a nice set of alloys preferably in the ChCh region.

chip Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 Thanks Doug Very much am liking what I see so far. Been looking for a few days and already picked up a few tips as a guest before joining e.g. the business with the CD changer and only putting 5 in at a time. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo tezza Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Hey Chip, welcome :D R u in chch? Check out tony's tyre service. They did a set of FM 901 dunlop tyres for $215 per tyre, which is a sharp price. They also do great deals on alloy wheels, and packages. They will also match any deal from any other tyre store. Hope u find something u like. ;) Cheers Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altezza Girl Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Hey Chip, Welcome to the club! I just became one of the guys last Thursday when I picked up my car. I hope you are enjoying your Altezza as much as I am!!!!! Hope to see you sometime when we all meet up! Diane :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeneyes Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Well, I can start you off with ONE standard 17" mag wheel!! I don't now how, but my tyre dealer in Auckland has one in his shop... Maybe someone will fit 18s and sell you their 17s. Welcome aboard. keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Hi Chip ,nice choice of car . We'v e got a set of Advanti racing wheels on our Altezza . Polished chrome . I think most Mag and Turbo outlets sell them , although I think you've probably got other things on your mind at the moment ! Congratulations for the weekend. By the way , definitely 96 octane for your car . cheers Rosco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franco Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Heya chip - good stuff with the car, and the marriage. Hope u guys have an awesome day :P Someone did a post somewhere about using 98 octane petrol. Some selected BP and Mobile stations sell it. Which leads onto another question for others in the group - is the premium you pay for with 98 worth the extra 5c / litre over 96 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frylai Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 chip, I can help you out with the wheels, should be able to get a set of OEM Altezza or Aristo Wheels (17") for around $1200-$1500 Shipped with tyres, wheels will be used but in great shape and tyres should be new...
