Soonto_HAS_soop Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Can get then brand spankers for around £1100 without tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Can get then brand spankers for around £1100 without tyres. T'is true indeed. I could be tempted to get some at this price. Then a set of 18" F1's all round and hey presto £1800? AFAIK the only issue with these is changing the centre caps to get rid of the Lexus logo? Dan, I've been looking for a second hand set for an age - could be easier to buy new as Pete said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 the centre caps come from germany , i paid for mine monday so they should be with me anytime now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaf Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 wouldnt it be better to get some nice jap rims for that money though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBR Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 wouldnt it be better to get some nice jap rims for that money though? all comes down to personal taste i think m8, i think the lexus supra combo is the best looking ive seen! 1100 new hmmm, well worth thinking about maybe ill see if i can get discount or maybe arrange some sort of a group buy? as there seems to be a few people after these wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 just to give you an idea of how good the price is , i think jake sourced them , i paid £950 for mine with toyo tyres which were almost gone , and were second hand , but in nearly new condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 out of interest how much do those wheels weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 not sure imi , but they are magneseium , which makes the price even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 not sure imi , but they are magneseium , which makes the price even better in that case they should be pretty light... now youve got me interested........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 thats with tyres , and at the time they wernt sourced, i tried through a few lexus dealers , yes the fronts were available but not the ten inch rears . then as i said , jake sourced them from germany i think , probably a good year or so after i got mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markrzs Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I've also been looking for a set of these for a while now there's a few sets around but they all seem to be 8.5 ". In fact there's a set on ebay at the moment. Group buy sounds good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveM Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I'm planning on upgrading from my current 17" wheels to the Lexus 18" wheels during the summer when my current tyres need replacing but if someone was going to arrange a group buy earlier then I would go for it.

womble Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 in that case they should be pretty light... now youve got me interested........... I weighed mine a while ago and I'm pretty sure I poster the weights up on here. I'm also Sorry to say that I'm pretty sure that they're NOT magnesium too. Oh and one last thing to anyone that finds a second hand set up for grabs be sure to check them thouroughly as I've had 3 of mine crack and had to get them (profesionally) repaired.

In fact there's a set on ebay at the moment. Group buy sounds good though Perhaps two people could split buy the 8.5's for the fronts on eBay and get a couple rears from TTE or Lexus?
