edinlexusV8 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hello Folks, How are you all doing? I have been doing a few things (not a lot tho) during the last 7 days. So I thought may be I should put a post up for the work I am doing. I bought a set of 17" Stock supra alloys from a Martin (m_life - member of the forum) for £80. Used this direct courier solutions courier (actually sent the alloys through fedex) and it costed 27.50 for 4 alloy wheels with no tyres. Then I went to my local alloy wheel refurbhisment centre and got them refurbished for £35 per wheel (thank again for Ajaz for giving me the contact details for this guy) Before refurbishment (kerbing and flaking paint): Post Refurbishment Next thing on the list was to replace the corroded radiator with the alloy one I imported from a mate in AUS. The new radiator looks good and work very well What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinlexusV8 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Metaplas 19 Dryden Vale, Bilston Glen Ind Est, Loanhead EH20 9HS If you are interested speak to the guy named Walter, tell him that you got these details from me (Raj). He does all colours and I would very much recommend him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I bought a set of 17" Stock supra alloys from a Martin (m_life - member of the forum) for £80. There not stock Supra alloys , look more like GS300 wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinlexusV8 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Sure they are not from a Lexus as they have toyota centre caps. Check the following link: http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=199126 These wheels are for winter (November - April), still need to get the right set of winter tyres before they go on the car. Just like to keep my chrome wheels/Falkens for remaining times of the year ;-) For all those who think there is no need for winter tyres have a look at he follwoing link (or atleast I would put these on knowing where I live) http://www.etyres.co.uk/bad-weather-tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the following link: http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=199126 Definately not Supra wheels, this is a 17" Supra wheel: http://www.photofanatic.net/wheels/toyota.jpg And the GS300 wheels: http://images.clickedit.co.uk/58/121616.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinlexusV8 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Yeah you may be right, but I have seen lots of stock 17" Supra wheels in here and also on ebay not looking like first pic you posted above! Anyway as long as they clear the big calipers I dont mind mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 indeed! 17" supra wheels are much different.... i did say when i told you bout them they were NOT stock supra wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinlexusV8 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 But you did say that they will clear the big brake. So there should not be any problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) not at all! assuming you mean UK sized brakes... couldnt be sure about AP's or anything bigger. Like i said they came on my car and have no details, offsets or out i know they should deffo clear LS big brakes which are uk but a different shape Edited October 26, 2009 by Kirk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinlexusV8 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Well do these clear the UK big brake or not? I dont mean the APs or any thing but the UK TT big brake. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
