You must be well pleased, im thinking of hanging mine on the living room wall as therye too damn good to subject to the elements. Couple of weeks and mine will be on, ive got to get my race pads off before these go on. Way too much brake dust for such shiny wheels.

dangerous brain Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Them are the bollocky bollox of all bollox!!!!! I have found my favourite wheels of all for a supe now. Seriously fella they make your car look diamond. I know there are a multitude of aftermarket affairs available but apart from the chromed stockers I have yet to see a set of alloys float my boat til now. Does this mean you have a set of facelift centre caps I could purloin perhaps?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you actually seem them on a Supra in the flesh Bry? They look even nicer than in pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Yeah I saw the other colour on a car at a meet and was quite impressed by them!!!! If I had the cash available I would get that other colour for my red car as I don't think the colour Si has would suit my motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Can't get the (painted?) Silver colour ones anymore, I tried to source some for Ben (SoonToHasSupra) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Tell ya what though I would like that dish effect that the rears have on the front as well. I am sure recently there was a full set of the silver ones on ebay wasn't there? Well wheels are taking a back seat to nitrous, TT conversion, manual conversion, and if thats not enough single to double din in car entertainment system (pmsl) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean you have a set of facelift centre caps I could purloin perhaps?? Ha ha, flattery will get you everywhere, or at least a set of facelift centre caps! LOL! I was planning on keeping the old wheels and using them for track days etc, but a center cap swap could be in order I suppose... I guess you could get these ones and have them repainted or whatever in silver. I was a bit sceptical about the anthracite ones but they look really good in real life, the gray kind of sets off the silver of the spokes and makes them look thinner. The dish effect on the rears is because of the offset. If you had that on the front the offset would be all wrong which would mess up the handling, and they'd stick out too. One of the advantages of these wheels is that they have the correct offset etc. Stock wheels are 50mm offset, these are half an inch wider and have a 40mm offset, so just about perfect.

Nope, same as Simon's : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=28648&item=7904295896 You prefer the ones like D'Arby's, right?

Cool I have nearly 2 sets of ye olde center caps so should have 4 decent ones amongst them. I knew the offsets etc were good that is one of the huge appeals of those wheels. The silver ones wouldn't look as nice on your motor as the anthracite do, down to the mettallic look, the anthracite have a mettalic look as does your gunmetal bodywork, however a painted silver look is just that a painted look and would look better with a flat plain colour. Probably look best on a flat black (ie no flip paint) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Your car is beautiful. Super suave I like to think the supra looks good stock, but then you see some tasteful mods like on your car and it looks sooo much better. Well done ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Simon, I got totally caught up by the bling and forgot to ask how the wheels handled. What can i expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 Originally posted by ChrisR Simon, I got totally caught up by the bling and forgot to ask how the wheels handled. What can i expect Well, I've only done a few miles, so I haven't even scrubbed the tyres in yet, but not much different to stock. The ride is perhaps a little harder with the lower profile tyres, but hardly noticible, and I haven't noticed any more tramlining or anything. I can't tell you about levels of grip etc yet...
