Hitbox Junkie Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Ive been looking at CCW's XXRs and I do like them but been told not to cheap out on XXR's and just thinking about something different to CCW's I dislike my current alloys but then I haven't been near them much in person yet but Ive been looking at these instead of the above http://strasseforged.com/performance-r10/ size id be looking at is 18's with a width of 8.5 for the fronts and 9.5 - 10.5 on the rear Any thoughts on these choices and has anyone delt with these guys before or even have them? I am waiting on a quote from them for price delivered and with duties payed Cheers Ant Edited March 2, 2015 by Hitbox Junkie (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 They look nice, I'd go wider though as you are single power, id go something like 9.5-10 front and 11.5 rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRX Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'm liking those r10's..! My TRD wheels are 9.5 on the rear and wish I had wider for traction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Junkie Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) An update. A quote came in my eyes are watering They want $4400 with fronts being 9 and rears 11 in size 18rims works out around £2900. With $990 in duties/frieght and delivery to my door. So total comes in at around $5400. So guessing about £3500. Seems alot to me for wheels and thats with out rubber. But they are nice I hope I get that pay rise ive asked for. I just might have to get these end of this year, but im total against spending that amount of some new shoes :/ Edited March 4, 2015 by Hitbox Junkie (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Wheel width is really dependent on use above everything else. Remember, while wider wheels are ideal for traction on dry, flat surfaces, they upset ride quality and wet weather handling. I would carefully balance this with your choice of tyre.

j_jza80 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Also, I would advise a decent second hand forged wheel over a cheap new cast one any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I was looking at some for just over 2k without tyres, I got a decent bonus but in the end I cheaped out and went for some wheels 1/3 cheaper and banked the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Junkie Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Also, I would advise a decent second hand forged wheel over a cheap new cast one any day. I agree pay for what you get just seems a crazy amount I will be moling it over may see if I can get them cheaper or at least with duties and postage included in the 4400 price. I was looking at some for just over 2k without tyres, I got a decent bonus but in the end I cheaped out and went for some wheels 1/3 cheaper and banked the rest Im considering going cheaper but I cant find any I like or if I do everyone else has them lol Same Wheels I requested a quote on 5 weeks ago....still no response Saw this pic and wanted a set http://strasseforged.com/images/gallery/toyota_supra/toyota_supra_1.jpg They look amazing I got the idea from a black supra with these in chrome Edited March 5, 2015 by Hitbox Junkie (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 That's a serious price for rims mate. My CCW's were cheaper than that : I paid less than 5000$ including R888's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew they were going to be exspensive but inwas hoping they would be around the same proce as ccw classics. will see later in the year where im at with the idea.

Guest Budz86 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just while we're on the subject (I've been looking for something similar) what sort of offsets do people recommend? Thinking 9-10" fronts and 11" rears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
