JohnC Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Went out in Reading with the girlfriend to do some Christmas shopping, which I dont like at the best of times. Was just driving between one retail park and another, less than 3 miles, and the steering went a bit funny after about a mile. When I parked up got out the front passenger side tyre was completely flat and away from the rim of the wheel. So in the pissing rain trying to jack the car up to take the weight off the tyre so it go back against the rim a bit more and I get some air in it. Couldn't get it to pump up so gave up and decided to use the foam to get home, but as I did the foam started coming out from between the tyre and the rim from where it had become damaged. Got enough foam in there to limp home, but think the wheels completely f**ked and dont know where to get a single wheel from. Completely gutted [sAD][/sAD] Looking at these wheels on ebay as replacements: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/19-MANIA-RACING-VORTEX-R-ALLOYS-WIDER-REAR-TYRES_W0QQitemZ290005693691QQihZ019QQcategoryZ9888QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item290005693691 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-ALLOY-WHEELS-AND-TYRES-19-DRIFT-STYLE_W0QQitemZ300058339016QQihZ020QQcategoryZ9888QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item300058339016 With Christmas I cant afford to spend a massive amount. Anyone got any thoughts on either of them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Black Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 If no luck finding a single, I personally think the Mania's look good on every Supra i've seen. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 Thanks mate. Thinking of just cutting my losses and just getting a nice fresh new set of wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
