Hi all,
I really liked Hijoin Alloys designs and was really impressed wiht

This will be for my CJ3b Jeep. Any views on how good these alloys are...the price i got was 22K for a set of 5.

Cheers!

Madbull , where are you located ? i could suggest some decent shops for you.

WasavaTyres · 12th May 2007, 01:14

That's a decenty price for the 154. Hi-Join makes pretty good alloy wheels and a lot of members would vouch for thier finish and quality.

Hi E_L: I am at Chennai, at alwarpet. The price was from LAL near Music Academy

esteem_lover · 12th May 2007, 01:27

LAL is always a bit overpriced. did you check with XL tyres, T.Nagar or Anna Nagar ? if not PM me & i will give you a contact.

madbullram · 12th May 2007, 01:31

No, I didn't...just spoke to Nitrous and he was telling me to get it gtom Bangalore as its atleast 10% cheaper there...just PMed you.

esteem_lover · 12th May 2007, 01:39

I dont know about that. Bangalore is always costly for anything, especially for stuff like these. who knows mahendra might know someone there.
cheers

Madbull Ram - Have you tried Tyrestore on Greams road?

manikjeet · 13th May 2007, 02:53

i have been using hijoin alloys for mnay years now and they are very strong i should say

the car has been in accidents and they were not minor accidents but alloys held on and are still going strong and car is also roughly used

and 22k is a little on a high side for these alloys in chandigarh we get them around 19k

E_L: Thanks a lot for the info...I spoke to Srinivasan and was put off by him...he was saying "Sire, Wrangler AT/R is offroading tire...if you use it on Tarmac u will get only 5000 KMS" from it...i tried explaining that AT/R stands for All terrian and it is built for this purpose but he wouldnt budge...plus he quoted 7000 Rs per Tyre and I said Good bye

Proxima: Will try them tomorrow...any contacts?

You can call Deepak, the owner at 9840920870, tell him that you are a BHPian. You could also mention my name (Benjamin).

He will defenitely give you a good deal. I picked up Nexen tyres from him for my Safari.

Proxima · 13th May 2007, 22:14

Also you can PM him. "Tyrestore" is his name here I think.

madbullram · 13th May 2007, 22:25

Great man...will try tomorrow

thanks

E_L: Oh come one...i owe you 100 thanks for taking time, replying to the post and the giving the number, guiding me...Ram was more knowledgable atleast he knew the basics of the tires he was selling.

Even he faltered saying Yokohoma is produced by Michelin...
