  1. I had one supplied and fitted by Albert no problems what so ever. I've had many items off knight racer and never any faults.
  2. Could well have been myself as i only live in wicken. i dont post on here a lot as im nearly away most of the time. Car has been off the road for a long while during the winter and i only got it back out in may. Blew a 120amp fuse and the cars coil pack was knackered. All better now.
  3. Wow did not expect so many replies....mplav your alloys look cracking, good choice there......Keep them coming guys.
  4. Hi Im just really gauging what people's thoughts are on what are the best colour alloys to get if you have a Silver Supra. Looking at getting 18's in the new year, after me not really being happy with my current 19's. I pretty much like Black alloys with a chrome lip. But would be grateful if any other Silver Supra owners would care to share their opinions. Cheers Jason.
  5. I reckon get jamiep to take you out ....his vids ive seen very very good
  6. Im now a very happy bunny.......had the tyres changed today.....at last i dont have to be too much of a big girls blouse What a difference
  7. Welcome......Listen to the guys here they are an excellent source of information.....If you do purchase a supra in the next couple of months just take it easy, as this time of year is not a good idea to rag a supra due to damp weather conditions. Spirited drive from time to time if the road conditions permit obviously is acceptable
  8. To be honest Guisy im not really happy with my 19's anyway...they dont feel planted, but that could be my shite tyres as i previously mentioned. So i either get the new falken tyres on the alloys i have at 245 width .....or drop down to a 18 alloy which means i have to pay out over a grand for tyres and new alloys which at the moment with xmas i cant really afford. Just had to replace the front bumper because of a muppet mate decided he wanted a test drive...Big Mistake!!! Never let your friends drive your car!!!. I think for the time being ill stick to the falkens at 245/35/19's and hopefully get some new alloys and tyres in the new year. Thanks for the Link Jamesy
  9. Those Falkens look tip top......i wanted to get 255/35/19's but they dont make them .....Got 245 wide alloys so looks as if ill have to settle for the same fit as the wheels.
  10. I have an unkown make which came with the car when i purchased it. In the dry they are fine....but only found out last week how bad they are. Will have a look at various options i think.
  11. Im having the same problem with my rears at the moment....replacing them next week.
  12. Would RLTC sort this dilema out????
  13. Thank you jamie.....thats all i wanted to know ta
  14. Like i said being given them so if they dont look right ill stick with what i have....have seen a supra with these type of alloys on before and they look pretty good IMO...but we are all different. Dont know PDC will find out at the weekend.
  15. Just need some advise on the set of wheels below...... Im being given these alloys for nothing next week with excellent tyres all round.....I have offered the wheels up against the exisiting wheels on my car and they have the same stud pattern so should fit. The rear alloys are 19's 295/35's and will need i think the rear arches rolling. The problem i believe is the front.....they are 19's 265/45's. The front alloys with the 45 tyres are to big, but look as if they will fit with 35's on. 19x9.5 (front) and 19x10.5 (rear) Question is will the 265's fit??? Thanks Jason
  16. Thats all good info guys......thanks again to all for the input. Much appreciated.
  17. You win a pain in the arse newbie now pm'ing you with questions joking. Thanks scott ill do a search on patterns.
  18. I agree Think i will get the tyres changed and save the 295's on seperate alloys for the spring/summer. Thanks for your input guys.
  19. Thorin lol sorry .......just went outside with a torch...They are called ...Ant tyre p188....245/35/19...so basically not a branded tyre....cheapy tyres that came with the car when i collected it 2 weeks ago:blink:
  20. Cheers Scott much appreciated thats made me understand cheers. Nankang...urmmmm no...would not entertain them....had them once on my skyline ,never again. I have not got that far yet Thorin....still researching what is best
  21. lol.....So if the wider the tyre is ,then the more chance of Aquaplaning....ok thank you. So what is the prefered width of tyre that most Supra owners have on the rears??? Which width gives best results for dry and wet...what is middle of the road so to speak. Also thinking of RLTC as i will be using the car during the winter.
  22. Hello Ive been searching on the forum regarding tyres....and i came across a thread saying that the wider the rear tyres, the worse the grip is in the wet???. Is this true?? The reason i ask is because at present i have 245's on 19" rims. This weekend just gone i travelled from Bristol to Bracknell for the Pistonheads Sunday Service meet. It pissed down all the way and i have to say it was not pleasurable at all in the supra. I felt like i had to accelerate with an egg underneath my right foot. So i want to change my tyres to 295's with new alloys as i have a set waiting for me if i want them, but now ive read that the wider your tyres are the worse it is?? Could someone explain please, because i thought the wider the tyre the more grip you would have.....or is it the case of the more wider the tyre is ,the more surface area is prone to aqua planning??? Just need confirmation please Mucho gracias
  23. Hi.... Buckingham rd petrol station....going towards stony stratford about 4pm.
  24. yes certainly will do.....will bang some pics up soon....im a very happy bunny:)
