Wheelmania Monaco 19" Wheels (8.5" Front and 10" Rear) - Alloys Only

Hi guys,

 

Since for some crazy reason no one wants to buy my 19" Wheelmania Monaco Wheels with the tyres, I have decided to try selling the wheels and tyres seperately.

 

The alloys are a specifc Supra fitment :)

 

These DO CLEAR UK BRAKES and most other big brake kits.

 

The alloys have done about 80 miles in total. Not been anywhere near a kerb to have any kerb marks! Everything is as new!

 

The alloy details are:

 

FRONT:

 

8.5" Wide

Offset 35

 

REAR:

 

10" Deep Dish

Offset 45

 

 

These alloys come complete with all centre caps, wheel nuts and a set of locking wheel nuts I bought

 

These alloys without tyres cost me £950. I am willing to let them go for £650 which is a bargain for someone.

 

I really would prefer collection for the alloys, but if we have to post I can get these posted to anywhere in mainland UK for £35.

 

These alloys were specifically designed for a Supra.

Looks like the tyre sizes are putting people off. Don't see why.

 

This user has the same rear tyre size and even wider fronts!

I researching into tyre sizes extensively before deciding on which tyres to go for. If you check the US Supra forum the yanks love the so called "fat tire" setup not just because of the comfort but also the grip.

 

An email I got from a US Supra Tuner

 

A fat tire setup will help out TONS, as well as better comfort, they also give you more "grip" to launch - a thinner sidewall is good for looks and driving around a circuit but for straight line traction, especially once you're BPU, you'll find you're going to spin the wheels VERY easily. If you go with the Fat Tire setup, you'll get a bit more sidewall around 5-7mm depending on tyre, more ride comfort and Falken's tend to have a nice stiff sidewall to begin with so you'll still be able to drive around bends with tons of grip to spare.

 

I would rather do that, then have rubber bands on my tyres and be worried about potholes all the time and buckled rims. Not sure why the UK owners haven't discovered this yet. Also the difference to the speedo will be around 5%, BUT the standard Supra/Aristo speedo over reads by about 7% anyway, so your speed will actually be MORE ACCURATE. I went from standard 17" rims to these 19" rims and noticed that the speedo was like my BMW; virtually bang on with my GPS.

 

Also remember the alloys have a et45 at the the rear so should tuck in nicely just flush with the wheel arch and not cause you any rubbing, even with the wider tyre. Cheaper rims seem to be et35. If you do have a slight rub, then the wheels are cheap enough for you to get your arches slightly rolled if need be.
