  1. Weds RS5 wheels for sale. Rears: 18 x 10 ET45 with one eagle F1 and one Goodyear - 275 35 18. Both approx. 3mm tread left. Fronts: 18 x 8.5 ET35 with eagle F1s on both - 245 40 18. Both approx. 4mm tread left. These were on my Supra when originally purchased back in 2006. Have been boxed and in my garage since 2008 when I fitted new wheels at the time. I believe these are pretty good wheels and I think are actually quite light. With tyres, front are approx. 21.5kg and rears are 23kg. For a nice road car, they would need to be refurbished. Ideal condition for track car or something someone isn't too worried about aesthetically. £125 ono, collected from Gloucester. Thanks Jim
  2. Yeah, luckily I was doing this under cover so all nice and dry! Good luck!
  3. Thansk Gaz. It's from a tin and in two parts. A separate hardener added to the coloured primer / laquer mixture. My brother (dandan) used it on his in black and the carbon grey on mine worked great too. It also dries "flat" (if you know what I mean?) so you dont need to be too cautious spending ages trying to get it perfectly painted :-)
  4. The way I did mine was firstly wire brush to remove any large grime build up and scaling debris, then I just used the Folitech brake cleaner. Put a load on and scrub with rags several times, then 2 applications of the cleaner all over and left for 10 mins. After that the callipers were completely de greased and as clean as I could have hoped to get them.
  5. Thanks Geo. Yeah braided lines are on the never ending list! I'm going to be doing some more work in there soon, cleaning up and powder coating the suspenion arms so will likely get done then!
  6. Thanks mate, I switched from Wheelmania Vortex R's and I prefer these wheels so much more. Really sit with the quicksilver colour well. I agree about the discs and pads...I had 3G grooved discs with CW pads before these toyota discs and I have to say IMO the Toyota discs feel better.
  7. Thanks. Got the Foliatech straight from Ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=Foliatec+High+Temperature+Brake+Caliper+Paint+%26+Engine+Laquer+-+Carbon+Grey
  8. Well, got a nice little job done. New Toyota Discs all round, CW fast road pads and Carbon Grey Foliatech Calliper paint with new decals.
