AdzC Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hi, I'm in the market for a new set of wheels to replace my 17"s that are currently on the car. If somebody could give me their opinions/advice/experience on these I would be most grateful. I'm also open to suggestions but can't stretch above £1k at the moment.

Jamesy W Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I'm looking at these just now too, think they look smart enough, never really been a fan of Wolfrace though so a set of new center caps would probably finish them off nicely, but for that price its gonna be some pretty shady tyres.

If I was to go for them i'd be going with the Avon tyre upgrade for an extra £100 then put some Toyota centre caps in. What's an Arista? Ha ha, I thought that too.

merckx Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The only thing that I would look into further are the offsets, is the front at 30mm a little low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdzC Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 The only thing that I would look into further are the offsets, is the front at 30mm a little low? Not sure on that one mate. What are standard offsets? Also I can never remember if the higher or lower the number the nearer or further it sits from the hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi. Are those rims all 8.5J's. Most recommendations are to have an inch more on the rear. also they look like Ultralites which can be had with correct offset and stud pitch from Envy for about £50 more. Tbh 112 pitch doesn't ring bells, I'm reasonably sure the pitch is over 113. Have to do a search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdzC Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 They are 8.5 front and 9.5 rear mate and it says that they are 5 x 114.3 pcd. I take your point about the Ultralites but i've been quoted about £500 more from Envy for the Ultralites although not ruled them out.

Blackie Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'm getting that done to my 18s on monday. Polished outer and diamond met black spokes/centres. £180 for all four, Bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizes are ringing the little bells now. Edit: I'd be ringing Jamesmark about now. That rubber and those wheels are a bargain indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was ideally looking for gunmetal centre and polished outer but may be swayed if I really like the look of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't as photobucket.com is down for maintanence, I cannot remember if I have or not. But I will 100% have pictures tomorrow whilst they are still on the car and detailed pics of each rim before they come off the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdzC Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 OK mate. I'll have a look at the photos when you post them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If somebody could give me their opinions/advice/experience on these I would be most grateful. I'm also open to suggestions but can't stretch above £1k at the moment. If they are stock Toyota 17 inch UK / USA / optional J-Spec rims then these will be a downward step. I'd bet the offset and spigot hole diameters are wrong, and they weigh more.
