Thoughts on these alloys

I'm looking to get some new alloys for my car but I'm on a budget as my car is getting re-sprayed as I type so I'm low on funds right now. I came across these on ebay

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-BLACK-SHARK-ALLOY-WHEELS-TOYOTA-SUPRA-TYRES_W0QQitemZ350327581360QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET?hash=item519126aab0#ht_5568wt_941

 

What do you guys think? would they look good on a supra? anyone have an idea on the quality of them?

 

Any information would be helpful.

 

Cheers Gary

Gary ffs pay the extra £140 for the Avon ZZ3's as the "performance" tyres supplied at the buy it now price WILL be ditchfinding gash :D

They will be the cheapest crap available (Wanli/Fullrun,etc), their levels of grip will be borderline when dry, and non-existant in the wet/damp.

Trust me. E-mail the seller asking for the name of the "performance" tyre, and do a search on here. Remember- tyres are the only thing between you and 1500kgs versus the road :rolleyes:

The wheels look very nice BTW :)

They are Primewell tyres.

 

Done a search and they have only appeared on a "what tyre do you recommend" thread with a nil result-ie. no recorded feeback-ie. no one has bought them.

Assumptions cannot therefore be made, but heres the maths.

Avons are £140 more, thats £35 a corner. Ball-park subtraction means that Primewells retail around £60 a corner.

I wouldn't put a £60 tyre on a powerful RWD car, and I'm guessing 99% of members on here would feel the same way.

 

Primewell..............

 

 

Well past their prime!:D
