Green Peace Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Looking for some new alloys....not sure which ones to go for...Racing Harts CR's are ok (yet again) but need lots of TLC... Anyhow how long would it take to get Racing Harts delivered these days and also any other make that are good that anyone can reccomend...need them in 4 or 5 weeks!

Rich Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hi Si, Id probably go for racing harts again but use the new ones as summer wheels and your old ones for the crap weather. My wheels were fine just washing them once a week religiously with shampoo and a very weak wheel cleaner.(simoniz in green bottle). Until I kerbed them. I also used wheel magic on them every time I cleaned them but they are still in brand new condition apart from the slight kerb damage.(1 and 1/2 years later) I also like mania pacifics as seen on a couple of supes. The choice is yours though mate theres loads of nice wheels out there! good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Peace Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 Thanks Had Mania Pacifics couple of years ago...they were ok...but old news now...I must say I wasn't v impressed by the amount of attention needed for Racing Harts though I do love the wheels and they looked great when they were new...plus they are vulnerable to sabbotage too had Racing Harts and Mania Pacifics....any other ideas? Fancy trying summit new... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymanuk Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Have you looked at Khans? I got these splits on mine. Ignore the front tyres they are what came on the car and getting replaced this month hopfully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Si, Waiting times are about 4-5 weeks for custom sizes, think we have a set or 2 of Supra ones in stock though. Best Regards, Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Have you looked at Khans? I got these splits on mine. Ignore the front tyres they are what came on the car and getting replaced this month hopfully! i think if i were to choose another set of wheels these would be it. nice polished stainless rims, alot easier to maintain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Peace Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 Any more Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymanuk Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 You could try looking at the Lexuz GS wheels that I have seen on a few Soops. Otherwise have a look at a mag and look in the ads with wheels for ideas? Have a look also at this link for some more ideas Forum Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Peace Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 You could try looking at the Lexuz GS wheels that I have seen on a few Soops. Yeah I quite like those..ok not as Bling Bling as Racing Harts...but they are built and tested for the job and will be good for a lot more miles....keeping their smile. I'll keep looking though.

Gaz Walker Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Ewizzy, Those are too small really for the Supra, although they do clear the brakes (just) as we've tried them on our cars. We're an Ultralite main dealer too Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Proper size for the supra rears is 10", however I have seen several with 9" on the rears. Yes Alex, same email as before. ciao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
