hodge Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) Ive been looking on ebay for some wheels. whats your opinions on these. I love them. Ive emailed them to see if they can do them 12x19 rears and 10x19 fronts for a trd fitment. I recon the black centres and polished lip look awesome on a white car.

a98pmalcolm Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 im goin BC shocks on tuesday...what do u think of them mate? they seem really good value for money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 A couple of my pals have tein coilovers on there supras and tbh the ride seems more comfortable but just as precise for slot less cost. The coilover and top mounts were £579 delivered. When I priced up the tein equiverlent Inc top mounts I was looking at £800 plus. I'll know better how good they perform once I get the geomatory setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 If your after some wide arches, I'm in the process of getting some Ridox front and rear arches copied, these looks the tits plus they are very different, I've never seen them on a car in the UK before.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I think the centres on them stick out too much i think your car will suit a deeper centre or more flatter:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bennyessex Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 This looks interesting, the brakes look pretty temping considering how much Brembo and AP set ups are. I recently got a disc upgrade for my N/A and the rear caliper seized eating the disc. So thanks for pointing that kit out. Would look better in a different colour IMO. What is that bumper fitted in the pic on pg3? Its imense! Subscribed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hodge, could you do me a favour, could you measure the width of the D2 calipers? I'd like to know if they'd fit on mine with the wheels I have. I have UK spec calipers at the moment, and the clearance is very close. If they're any bigger than UK spec, they won't fit.

Correctamundo matey. And yeaqh that car was at TOTB this year on the Jap Performance stand not far from where Dudes car was, and its now fitted with 20" wheels, TRD front wings and bumper.

There 140mm across then there is the banjo bolt on top of that for the braided line.

hodge Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 im now wondering if these will clear my Wed's?? Another buy could be on the cards now. Well it sais in the description the clear anything 18" and above with offset 114x5. So I guess they'll fit. Ill let you know soon as Im gona test fit them to my own car soon. If they go on with the wheels I change the brake fluid etc once I find out how to do it that is lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill let you know soon as Im gona test fit 114 x 5 is the stud pattern, not the offset. I've re read the advert and it makes no mention of offset for clearance. My car is with Supraloopy at the mo so I can't measure my UK calipers, but at a guess, I'd say the Uk's are actually wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Not a fan of that Ridox at all TBH. Its gona be TRD all the way for me I think. I'm with you on that one, although I like most of the Ridox kit I don't think the rear arch kit is as good as the TRD, the only thing it has on the TRD is the rareness.

hodge Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Yeah maybe but I recon the trd kits follow the lines of the supra better a little more classy if you know what I mean as the ridox looks more well raw if thats the right word for it.
