Which of these wheels do you prefer?

[Justin]

Braid Jarama

 

or

 

Ro_Ja R2 5 (Used to be Rays 57Pro F)

[supragold]

Both are really nice mate but I think the wheels on the Sup are best because I love the look of the dish on them. It makes them look alot wider.

[Justin]

They come in deep dish too:

Go for the deep dish if you can get the offset.

[LeeT]

hasnt cj got a set of those braids? if not they are very similar

[CJ]

Nope, I have chrome double 6's but used to have a set of Braid Le mans

[Green Peace]

I Love the deep dish on the braids but a close call..but I voted braids

[warmup.me.uk]

Deep dish dose it for me never really liked them but on the supra they do look the part

[Justin]

Hmmm. 80/20 so far any more?

[terribleturner]

MMMMMMmmm, Ddddddeeeeeeeppppppp

 

What sort of money are we talking Justin?? Would love a set of either.

[tbourner]

Get the Rays lookalikes!! They're like my wheels!!

 

You need the big dish versions though.

Around £1650 for 18 x 10, 18 x 9 in either brand without tyres.

 

I have to make sure they will fit over my 6 Pot AP Brakes then I will buy!

[terribleturner]

Not a bad price, as long as that's not for each wheel

[tbourner]

DEEEEEEEEEEP dish.

They are original Rays wheels but this model happened to get bought by Ro_Ja so it's just a different centre cap.

Just a heads up mate, I would check the weight of both as this will affect the car. From memory when I was looking at wheels the Braid's are Heavy.

Ahh, good point Terry thanks. Will try and check both!

[Justin]

1. Braid 18 x 9 (?? offset) 12 Kg ........ 26.46 lb

1. Braid 18 x 10 (?? offset) 12 Kg

 

2. Ro_Ja 18 x 9 (37 offset) 10.75 Kg ........ 23.7 lb

2. Ro_Ja 18 x 10 (40 offset) 10.98 Kg ....... 24.2 lb

 

What is a heavy wheel weight Terry in your opinion?

[Gaz Walker]

I'd be suprised if the Ro_Ja wheel was much over 8kg Justin... Theres no published figures but Rays wheels are pretty lightweight.

Gaz.

[Guest Terry S]

they are both fine Justin around the 20lb mark is good, similar to stock. When I looked at a certain type of Braid before they were near 30lb
