Havard Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Thats what you have isn't paul? You have given them a cracking review so I will try and get them on. Cheers mate:) I paid £102.00 + VAT for 255/35/18" a couple of weeks ago from a place in Wigan. If we do the pancake run in a couple of weeks I'll give you a wizz in mine!! H.

If we do the pancake run in a couple of weeks I'll give you a wizz in mine!! H. That would be great cheers matey. Ive just seen a set on my tyres web site for £137 more for 265/30/19. Not as expensive as i expected:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 They do look nice, but I'd worry about the praticallity of them on british roads, the salt will eat into them eventually unless you seal them religiously... Also cleaning will be an absolute BIAAATCH (I won't get going about the fact that they are 19's don't worry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul372 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 i like them i want something like that on my supe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Ive never been intrested in 19's but its a good price so I think I'll try them. A guy by me has 19's on his daily drive, driving the same roads as me without to many problems. As for the salt etc, I think I'll keep my 17's for the winter.

Paul372 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Pay more for a better tyre mate. Falkens don't get a good write up in the wet really. Try Dunlop SP9000's if you can get them. Well worth the extra IMO.... H. i ve got Falkens on my supe they are big time sh*t in the wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Yeh thats why Ive only been looking at 18's till now but like i said I'll try it I think. I'll pop over to chris Wilson once they're on to get the geomatory etc set up better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Probably photoshoped knowing the company but here they are on a supra:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadburys Purple Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Well done bud, nice choice of rimmage! That white one must be wearing 20"s at least, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Cheers Geth mate:) Wheel mania do normally photoshop the bigger wheels on. Im gona call them now to sort out the offsets and getting a better tyre fitted. Then if I get them on will go the suspension i got of rob, put the wheels on, take it to get the geomatory camber alignment etc done and do the mot. Still not 100% about 19's but I'll give it a go. I may have to get the car lowered too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadburys Purple Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Na, don't worry about the 19's, for what you do and the way you drive (no i don't mean that like it sounds..............well okay maybe:p) they'll be fine and they'll look stunning. Get the wheels on, shocks on, bumper and spats finished, de-cat......ooooh it's getting exciting!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 And all for the wrong side of JAE. Japshow is coming up soon though. And the way I drive, I mean how very dare you. Im amazing:innocent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Just spoke to the guys at wheel mania. Offsets are 32 at the front and 35 rears and they come with Aon ZZ3 tyres. Anyone know how good those tyres are? I assume the offsets are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Adam, try this brush from meguires, long soft bristles gets into the gaps and doesnt scratch - I was tempted to keep mine for me not the car http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=9107 Pete Richards may also be able to suggest cleaning products/brushes etc Lxx Hope you've recovered from the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Thanks linda. Im feeling pretty bad TBH.

I've got them on mine too (the dunlops, that is ) bit of rear end twitch in the wet around islands, as you'd expect anyway but apart from that, handling good and sticky enough in wet and dry They've been on for about 8K miles and tread depth is still very good (on the back, not sure when fronts went on) Lx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chumpalot Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 also the tyres are quite good. Haven't really given them much to deal with in the wet and don't intend to. Seem fine in the dry though. Anything is a step up from what I had on the car before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Will stick with the avons they come with i think. Will have them by thursday:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chumpalot Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Check out my garage for pics mate. I wasn't too sure about them at first when they were sitting in the garage, got them on the car though and.... well... you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chumpalot Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 just looked at the design of the two wheels again and they're slightly different. What model did you say they were? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
