Lexus deepdish GS300 Sport wheels, Thought they were worth a punt at that price.

They look very, very nice. Great job.

i found a set of these for sale recently but the offset was 40 front and 46 rear i thought these were supposed to be 50 all round? i hesitated for that reason and they sold

Those are the correct offsets. I think the GS needed a little more clearance for the 245 and 275 tyres.

I know that 235s on Supra 17s are quite close to the suspension uprights on my Aristo.

Yummy! See you Thursday, Can't wait to get them on the car

Well, i finally managed to get the machine shop to finish of the centre caps for me, below are pictures of the front, back and laid on top of a diamond cut and black rear. The rears of the cap havent been machined out to match the originals but they have left a thicker band of metal round the edge. This does make them slightly heavier but they are stronger.

 

In the pictures they appear to be a different finish from the wheel, however it is bare aluminium and not powder coated yet like the wheel. I think i will have to paint the machined in logo black, then get them powder coated clear.

 

I am well pleased with these as they look awesome even just laid on the wheel:)

Welcome to the gs300/TTE Club mate they look great! Cant wait to see them on your car!

[johnny g]

I've just bought a set of these wheels. Could you tell me how to get these centre caps? Thanks!

[Chucky_waR]

They look great mate..

How much is a set like that?

[Colin-mkiv]

I can't decide whether or not I like these on Supras. I love the custom centrecap though, maybe that could sway me to liking them. I'll save my conclusion until I've seen them done and dusted and on the car.

Are the originals flat or curved to match the wheels?

They look fantastic, but if it was up to me, I would make the Supra logo a little larger, and you wouldn't have to paint them in. Very subtle

Thanks for all the compliments

 

To answer a couple of questions. I had them custom made so they are a one of set, but that's not to say I couldn't get some more done. As for cost, this set was £200 however now they have the machining program's worked out, any more would presumably be cheaper. The guy that made them also said he thought the logo would look better slightly larger. It's 80 mm at the moment but he said doing 100 mm would be easy enough.

 

If theres enough interest and the mods are okay with it I could get some prices for a bulk order, say 5 or more sets.

They're nice - not £200 nice though.

I'd pay a reasonable fee for them, but not that much.

 

Certainly ask the mods and see what can be had for a Group Buy.

[Nodalmighty]

I hope the ones I'm having made are as nice as these

 

Today I collect my wheels from Ibrar and the centres will be winging there way to my machinist. Photo's to follow as requested

Get some fitted pics up when you can, both.

 

Love these wheels on a Supra.

You and me both mate First time a saw a set on a Supra was also the first Single (T78) on a Du-Luck fronted Purple beast i ever saw. The chap ended up working for Abbey Motorsport, can't remember his name, nearly 10 years ago now

As a price guide, when I bought my TTE centre caps, they cost £15.45 each.

 

I doubt very much you could make them for anywhere near that price, but getting a few sets made might get them down to a price that I may have to purchase a set just for the 'collection'.
