Sorry my first post here ended up being a for sale post! I joined 6 months ago to learn more about the Supra TT but didn't buy the one I was interested in at the time.

 

However, I have these lovely wheels that came off a Supra TT when I bought them a couple of years back so I thought I would see if there is any interest in them here...

 

Anyway here is a link to my detailed for sale thread with photos on the IMOC MR2 forum:

You can see I have 100% positive feedback on the MR2 forum. To view the feedback just sign up for a IMOC account, log in and then click on my feedback score - I think you'll find I'm pretty reliable :p.

 

Extra info. on these alloys that are relevant to Supra owners:

 

These particular alloy widths+offsets maintain the front to rear ratio/stance of the standard Supra TT wheels (ie. the 17x8 ET50 and 17x9.5 ET50) but are 15mm further out towards the arches both front and rear for each wheel, so will give the car a slightly wider track and more aggressive stance.

 

Being forged they are strong but light weight and are certainly lighter than the stock 17" TT front+rear alloys even though the rear alloy is a half inch wider.

 

As mentioned in the detailed sale thread on the MR2 forum I would like 700 pounds for these and I'm not looking for offers at this time. Cash on collection from Manchester or Burnley preferred. Feel free contact me here or on the MR2 forum if you have any questions - thanks :)

Now inviting offers on these as my wife wants them out of the shed soon :p

 

Also some more information on the alloy lip and some extra photos added to my sale thread on IMOC:

Some people wanted to know about UK brake clearance on the Supra. As far as I know there shouldn't be a problem. The alloys are actually Supra fitment and came off a Supra although I don't know whether that was a UK or Japanese one.

 

However I can confirm that these alloys should have slightly more brake clearance than the stock 17" TT alloys (ie. the 17x8 and 17x9.5 ET50 alloys) as the offsets+widths mean both front and rear alloys sit about 15mm further out (and therefore further away from the brakes) than the stock alloys, so I wouldn't have thought there would be a problem. Obviously you can do some research yourself for your own peace of mind though.

 

I can courier them at a cost of 42 pounds in the UK including insurance (excluding Scottish Highlands).

 

Weight wise they are only slightly heavier than the same size TE37 alloy - less than a kilo difference. This is down to the 2 piece design which will always add a little bit of weight but gives the alloy a nicer and more expensive look. They are certainly lighter than the stock size TT 17's :D
