j_jza80 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Coincidentally, BigNum sprayed the centres of my old BBS LMs in Ford Graphite grey, lovely colour. Hides brake dust well too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_ufo Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 BMW sparkling graphite is much better.... btw there was nothing wrong with your old wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 BMW sparkling graphite is much better.... btw there was nothing wrong with your old wheels Graphite grey, shadow chrome, smoked grey etc, are all classy on a black car especially. It's finding a good painter to produce a quality finish on the wheels. H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Q Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 They're 9 & 10J with R888's all round but I've decided to keep these, have them refurbed and stick four new tyres on. The R888's are just too noisy for me live with on the road. fair enough mate, although i was gonna offer £27.36, half a tepid mug of coffee and a long, thin yellow quality street! R888's are noisy that's for sure. a nice sticky conti or michelin should be a comfortable altenative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you rate them? Also I've been offered some very well priced P Zero's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Q Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 super! i'll pop round later- please note the coffee is no longer tepid though ha ha I've never ran toyo's (that aren't 888's) myself- although my peers tend to report great grip for the money but they do have a high wear rate. I would try them myself if offered a deal, but I am used to conti sports so sticking with those at the moment. ooh they sound very fancy only michelins i ever ran were pilot exalto's but they were very good. not as much dry grip as some other tyres i'd had at that time (IE yoko paradas) but in the wet / damp they were superb and much better than the yoko. never heard anyone be disapointed with michelin when on track. except a few moans about the price lol. TBH I'd wait to see what supra owners say about the tyres as I've limited experience so far on the soop (only fullrun (!) falken 452 (!- think they were old though) and cont sport 2 / 3). have you decided for sure what colour your going for on the wheels yet?

Yeah I've ran FK452's before and I thought they were great. I would get some this time if I could get hold of them! Think I'm going for either shadow chrome or gunmetal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Q Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 i've heard others say that- i thought they were pretty crap to be honest- but the car came with them on, and also it had the fullruns on the front, so not sure how old they are! still have them as a pair of spares on some old fox rims for if i ever need them lol. good choice- i personally love the motorsportness of the white, but if you want evil, either of those will look brill.

Littler Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Can't beat a nice gunmetal, which ford graphite grey is similar too But I have considered getting these refurbed in satin black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
