Suprachargedtt Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hi If you had £700-£800 to spend on alloys (without tyres) what would you go for? I've been after some new alloys for a while but haven't had much joy on the second hand market. Now i have a bit more money im starting to look at new wheels, at the moment i like the Rota drift grids or the XXR 527's Whifbitz are selling, id love a set of Work Meisters, Volk TE37's or Blitz Technospeeds but they never seem to come up with confirmed fitments over UK brakes (or within my budget!). I also want staggered fitment with the widest rear possible at least a 9.5 width. I dont mind rolling the arches as would like a flush look, i dont want them to stick out! Anyway this is the car... i know its not a supra but the fitments are the same... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprachargedtt Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 What about ADVAN RS. Would look nice in gunmetal. Ive not come across these, just Googled them and they look great, do any traders on here sell them? look at whifbitz new xxr range , lovely wheels and well priced I did like the XXR range, really like the 527 and how it concaves, just on the wider fitment Paul is unsure if they fit in stock arches as they are 9.5 with a ET20, someone else said they wouldnt clear my breaks tho, all i can do with this range is wait and see how others get on...

Suprachargedtt Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Loving the look of the Advan RS-D, just a shame as there coming out at about 2k a set, not within budget unfortunately... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprachargedtt Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Anyone else have any other wheel suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Only as a above - the new wheels from Whifbitz. Looks lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprachargedtt Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 As said I want the 9.75 width but Whifbitz are unsure they will fit, ill have to see how other members get on? I love the work meisters that came up for sale, trouble is I don't know if they will clear the calipers, they were 18x9 et30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiFlash Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 You should be able to get a very good set of alloys off eBay for that much, or you can save up a little more and buy the Rays wheels Ryan G is selling. Rota GTR Rota Torque's in need of a refurb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprachargedtt Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 I'm watching the rota gtr but wasn't sure how I'd get on with the fitment, I guess I'm going to have to do a bit more research on offsets to see what works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'd go for a set of good quality used wheels over a set of new cheap wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveL Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I may be selling my Advan RS's with R888's (almost new) over the winter.... if you haven't found anything by then you may be able to pick them up for the price of a new set :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Hi chap, don't see you on here much anymore. I remember meeting you at a meet at a Basingstoke tuning shop a few years ago. What are you up to now? I see you've moved away from the south coast. I can't help much on the wheels, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
