p111ddy Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I've decided to get some cheap alloys for my car as it's having work done to it & I also to keep them for winter time. So even tho these alloys are the same I was just wondering on people's thought? i.e Gunmetel or black? Also my car will be Red and carbon colour code If that helps?

Dnt tell me EBAY. They have been talked about before on here and 1 or 2 supra have got them on now. I thought they were really nice but when i saw them on a supra they did not look right for some reason...But it could of been that the sup was not lowerd or something, But im put off them now, If you do a search on premier wheels there are a few pics on here somewhere mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p111ddy Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 Ok thanks for the comments about which one's to go for but I've change my mind on these as there are a few that have these already. I'm 100% going for black with a polised lip but the guy has given me these size's & if I'm honest I dont know if these size's are ok for the supe & I dont really know what they mean??? So If anyone would tell me please that would be very helpfull 8.5 X 18" 5X114 ET35 FRONTS 9.5 X 18 5X114 ET35 REARS Sorry I should just say the only thing I dont understand is 5x114 ET35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 It's the no. of holes for the wheel studs / nuts and the diameter of the circle they're on I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CoolsBlue Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 gunmetal as carbon isnt completley black, would look better imo as that gunmetal is pretty dark to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 ET35 is the offset, ie the distance from the mounting face of the wheel to the rim centerline. You've got to get this right or they'll either fowl on the brakes or the wheel arch. The wheel design is also another consideration, some wheels can fowl on the larger UK style brakes. I bet you're confused now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I understood all of that:blink: Well I dont need to worry bout uk brakes as yet as I have j-spec & I should be ok with the arch's as i have 18's on there at the moment with no fault's.
