renegade Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 looking at maybe getting a set of 18" at some point soon ish. i'm thinking 5-8 spoke not to sure what colour of wheel would look best on a white car. so photos and stuff would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Put what your price range is first as that will potentially rule out a ton of wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegade Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) say about a grand for wheels thats not including the tyres Edited March 31, 2009 by renegade (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 That rules out most of the high end branded ones like blitz/gram light/advan etc. Not sure I'd recommend cheap copies of alloys. Although they look good - the difference between weight from a pair of advans and a pair of ebay wheel manias for example is immense. And even on a NA you'll notice the performance difference. Anyway, that said a pair of wheel mania wheels do look good on a white supra ironically . There are some racing hart's knocking about on the for sale section, which are pricey alloys at a bargain price. I'd personally get them and refurb them in a colour of your choice (left silver is fine to be honest) and get the polished lip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbloodyturbo Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 will be easyer than trying to keep my lights from going yellow. Thats true:) I got so fed up with polishing the plastic I ended up buying glass UK's, I still have pitted 19's though:( I used to have nice big polished lips like that picture.

AlexM Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 think i'm going to get these I'm going to be selling my set of those soon (in silver).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegade Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 think i will see if i can get Rota /GTR Drift 18" 8.5 and 9.5 not sure of which offset 30,35,40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegade Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 got reply from email and it says for offset et40 for the front and et30 for the rear? does this sound right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yeah they only make the et40 up to an 8.5" rim. I think as close to +50 you can get the better and 40 is better than most rims you see at 30 or 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegade Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 so +30 on the back ok? or would 35 be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 so +30 on the back ok? or would 35 be better Everything I've read on the subject always says to try and get wheels as close to the stock offset of 50 as you can, so I would say +35 would be better than +30.

merckx Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yes, 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegade Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) by reading it looks like the 18" x 9.5 only come with a +30 off set and the tyres rears 265,35,18 front? 235 ,40,18 Edited April 21, 2009 by renegade (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
