I posted this on Evolve already, but I just want to see if somebody here could help me.

Could anybody please tell me where in Sharjah I can find old school (15in rims, either used or new, replica or the real thing (as long as they're good quality)?

I pretty much always avoid Sharjah, but when I do go there, I don't emerge from its harrowing depths for another two days because I get lost.

So any help would be really appreciated!

15x7.5, or 8, possibly 9
4x114.3

Don't know, will check. Was just hoping for a place that has loads of used wheels all over the place so I can scour and find a hidden gem :)

I know I've replied to you on Evolve, but:

Happy hunting! They get new stock every day btw, so don't give up if you don't find your desired rims on your first visit. They have loads of rims!

And if you are white, you might want to go there with a 'translator'.
Don't be surprised if they act like rude, arrogant pricks.

I live in the UAE, why would I be surprised if anyone acts like a rude, arrogant prick?

Yeah.

Here's the size if anyone's selling some, don't really care what, as long as they're super sweet.

Went there today looking for 15s myself,had nothing any of us would be interested in and he asked me to check back in a week.I was pretty disappointed because he never has 15s when I visit but he blamed the pinoys for grabbing every 14 and 15 they get :razz:

Cool buddy, I'm definitely going Friday morning as I have some stuff to do over in Sharjah anyway, so I'll spend the morning crawling around the industrial area hoping to uncover a hidden gem. The previous owner of my car very kindly offered to help me with some contacts there too, so I hope the day works out.

Yeah I spoke to the guys. Said they'll be open until 11am, and then again from 1pm or something, can't remember, so I'll call them early and make sure.
