25.01.2022 In case you haven't noticed, we've been sneakily updating the stocklist. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1689364207920834&id=170164649840805

24.01.2022 Barrel Bros Wall Of Fame- Gold Star Edition. Yes, that is a Nissan Prairie. We did these rare as hell Marios for Josh in the UK. When he said he wanted them for a Prairie our response was fairly predictible- Wut!??... The wheels were toasted when we got them, high pressure sand blasted- see pic That very nearly ruined them. But Josh saw the potential and grabbed them quick! 14x8.5-19 and 14x9-25 were the final sizes. Another great addition to the Wall Of Fame. See more

21.01.2022 A bit of a round up of 5 sets we've finished for customers recently 14"Focus Esprit. Not your usual Focus but very cool in 14x7. 15" Impul R701 Very partial to these being an old R31 guy.... 14" Advan A3C These are such a cool wheel and look totally awesome with a bit of dish! Classic 14" SSR XR4 Longchamp. Still one of the coolest wheels ever made. And Finally Work Equip Spirit 11 15x7.5 and 15x8. Quirky design by Work, the Spirit line are rare and so hard to find a good set! See more

18.01.2022 *** THE POSITION HAS BEEN FILLED*** Okay, it's that time again, we need some help We have a full time position available for a trainee wheel tech. The successful candidate (look at us sounding all professional and shit ) will need to be good with their hands and not afraid of machinery and hand tools.... We need someone reliable and punctual with great attention to detail. Tig welding or painting experience will be looked on favourably and a love of cars and cool wheels is a given. Of course you'll be starting at the bottom with the boring dirty jobs but the more stuff you get to know how to do, the more interesting it gets. You get to move on to the better boring dirty jobs (y) We're not looking for someone who is just after a job, we're looking for a new member of the team, so keep that in mind. Please send all resume's to [email protected] Don't forget to tell us a bit about yourself as well. See more

16.01.2022 New Sunny truck episode up on the Barrel Bros channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yoOjiNvB90 For more Sunny Truck episodes, and we have a lot of them, along with all the other stuff we do- HIT LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!!

16.01.2022 A gorgeous set of Globe Sprintmasters that we just completed for Daniel. If you were driving your Torana on some curvy back road back in the day, dreaming you were Brocky flinging your GTR XU-1 around Mount Panorama then these were the wheels you wanted to do it on. 13x6+20, which doesn't sound much these days but they were the ducks guts (Australian coloquialism) back then! Fully refurbished with new satin black paint and diamond cut faces.

16.01.2022 Good day! (Read on if you're interested in a job) Just a quick note here to let you know we are really busy. We're trying to get to everyone but sometimes messages get missed. Don't get crapped off, just send us another message, preferably not the single question mark. That will pretty much guarantee you'll get missed lol.... Please check the stocklist before sending us messages saying "Have you got any....." We have a standard response to this saying "Have you checked the stocklist? It's pinned to the top of the page" I use this at least twice a day. We know we haven't updated the stocklist for a bit, it is quite depleted at the moment, did I mention we're busy? This stock depletion is the reason why. We're flat out building wheels for you guys. We were expecting a bunch of new stock with some pretty cool stuff in amongst it, but with the Covid thing it is delayed. We will be updating it in the next week or 2 when the new stuff starts arriving. On that Busy note, we are now on the hunt for a new team member. If you think you are the type that will fit in here and are reliable, good with your hands, not afraid of getting dirty and a bit of hard work, and are reliable, please send a resume to [email protected] and tell us a bit about yourself. Did I mention that we are after someone reliable? Also, we're busy! We need someone good!

16.01.2022 Barrel Bros tech Ep1. Measuring offset. Now with added continuity problems. In the first of our tech series, Mark demonstrates how to wear white coat, screw up his lines, and measure the width and offset of some wheels. See those T shirts in the background? For sale here- www.barrel-bros.com.au... https://youtu.be/yN48GZRs1TA

16.01.2022 Just a quickie, same wheels photographed 2 months apart in the same place, pre and post refurb. They sat here for more than 2 years before Daniel took the punt on them These had great bones and were excellent standard sizes. 16x8+6 and 16x9+15, 5x114.3, full 3 piece.... Just goes to show you need to use a little imagination when looking at old wheels ;)

15.01.2022 All the Cool Cars come to Barrel Bros. My all time favourite GrpC car. HDT VK Commodore. Last of the big bangers. Many thanks to Shalin for bringing it around this morning.... Yes, the side pipe works and being a 308 it sounds tits! See more

13.01.2022 ***FOR SALE***FOR SALE***FOR SALE*** Southern Ways Cross. 13x8-8, 13x8.5-14, 4x114.3 These are rare man , really rare.... And below Zero cool! Which is why we were pretty puzzled when they sat on the rack for more than a year. Okay, some clown had painted them red, bolts and all (see attached pic), but the bones of the wheels were there to see. Imagination people! Please use it! Anyway, fully refurbed in the original colours, new paint, new lips and diamond cut spoke tops just like they were fresh from the factory. We were originally going a bit narrower but these warranted going for the doctor so we punched them out to 8 and 8.5. The centre caps are Southern Ways originals saved from the graveyard on another set of wheels that are pretty much toast. Want to turn up at the next club run, and have no-one else turn up with the same wheels? Then these are for you. Come and get them! AU$2600.00 Worldwide shipping available.

13.01.2022 Gorgeous little set of 13" Circle Tracks with Mawer centres we just finished for an LJ Torana Sports Sedan that is being restored back to it's former glory. Finished in the original sizes of 13x10-21 with all new lips and barrels, new hardware, the crusty old white paint stripped off, centres vapour blasted, and new gold paint applied to recreate the original colour scheme. Still a way to go on the car but it should look awesome back on the racetrack in the historics with i...ts trusty Holden 6 crackling via a Phil Irving head (look that one up) and a very lopey cam :D Has some serious stonk too. See more

12.01.2022 ***FOR SALE***FOR SALE***FOR SALE*** Hayashi Street ST. 13x8-3, dual PCD 4x100/4x114.3 You may have seen these previously on the Barrel Bros Sportsvan.... In good used condition with original centre caps. They were too good to need a refurb so we've cleaned them right up. Never been rashed or buckled, awesome little wheel. AU$1800.00 ready to go.

12.01.2022 New Video up on the Barrel Bros channel! This time we fix the crappy old seats and Luke at Xtrim does a top notch job! https://youtu.be/V-juJEyHPBA

Going to try some BBS RS centres next. Not sure how it will go on the waffles though.... Experimentation continues....... See more

12.01.2022 Me- Swears never to buy another black car because they always need washing. Also me- Buys biggest black car he can find.

11.01.2022 Another set of super cool 13s for Lenson in the Philippines. 13x9-24 Enkei Apaches. Fully refurbished with new lips, valves and hardware, and luckily the square cap weren't rusted through like they usually are! I think this is set number 4? We've done for him, all 13x9s. He puts them on these really cool Jeeps he builds which is a whole nother story.

11.01.2022 ***SOLD***SOLD***SOLD*** Weds Racing Mk-1 147-0 Now with added 4x114.3 PCD!... We thought there would be some Mazda RX5, early Honda Civic and Accord owners out there that wanted to be cool but apparently not, so we redrilled them to 4x114.3. Now lots of people get a chance at them. Super cool, dish delish! Completely restored to original condition, new paint, diamond cut faces, new seats and new metal valves. They also have the super rare centre caps! One of the caps has a small crack but still presents almost perfectly and is structurally sound. Be the envy of your friends and neighbours! AU$1950.00 Fast shipping available Australia and world wide.

11.01.2022 Barrel Bros. Moving with the times.

10.01.2022 I've been meaning to put these pics up for a while now. This is a set of 14" August Feroces we did a while back for Richard in Hawaii for his 1970 Toyota Hilux. 14x8-14 and 14x9-15. But is this not one of the coolest utes/trucks ever?... The wheels and the patina just smash it out of the park. Thanks for sending the pics Richard! See more

10.01.2022 And 5 years to the day another classic Barrel Bros demo car leaves with it's new owner. Farewell old Cedric, I hope the new owner looks after it as well as the HR31 Skyline's new owner has (good on you Christian (y) ) Pretty sure he will :)

10.01.2022 Gorgeous set of Fortran Mesh we finished for Ben in 13x7.5-5. We've had these for a little while with everyone wanting mainstream stuff instead of these unique little wheels. We really like the rare stuff and these have come up so well! We replaced the lips, took all the old paint off and gave them a new coat of gold and clear, new black zinc hardware, new valves, and polished original centre caps. Ben was really happy with the result and we're glad that someone realised the... potential of this really cool design. Vive la difference! See more

06.01.2022 A cool set of BBS RS's we just finished for Matt. Originally Matt's wheels, they started out as a very clean 16", 5x114 set. We started out by pulling them down and redrilling them to 5x112. Then all the paint was removed from the centres and waffles via the dunk tank and vapour blaster, and all the bolts were cleaned and polished.... Then we slathered on the original colour in 2 pack with clear over the top and that's pretty much where the "original" stopped. We then polished the centre nuts, cleaned and polished the logos, and then the piece de resistance (I don't know how to put the little douvres on the top of the E's on my phone) 18" slant lips and barrels were added to give us 18x8.5+14s and 18x10.5+40s. You can probably guess what these are going on but I will be putting up pics once Matt has them on the car. Very cool

05.01.2022 Okay, so we've skipped ahead a bit, and the flares and spoiler need paint, but we just got the stickers on and DAMMIT! this is too good not to share. Thanks to Crawf at Sequoia Media for the sticky stuff!

Dunked and vapour blasted, then fully refurbished with new lips, new hardware, new valves, new centre caps, diamond cut spoke tops, and new paint.... and that's where the problem is.
