JamieP Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Front wheel offsets will be miles out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAT Inter Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Ok. How about, Wolfrace Sharks? or 350z RAYS Wheels? Any helps asap would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Why not just get some designed for the Supra with the right, or approximately close offsets, needing no spacers or guesswork? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Why not just get some designed for the Supra with the right, or approximately close offsets, needing no spacers or guesswork? Cause that would be too easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 i have some mini metro wheels that would look badass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAT Inter Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 How is that easy? lol The last wheels i bought said supra fitment. And by the looks of things it doesnt matter what the offset or size is, because its the design of the spoke that allows the clearance.

DAT Inter Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Not sure. They were on a MR2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Not sure. They were on a MR2. I'm confused... what's wrong with buying new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 You are so much better off talking to one of the forum traders who deal in wheels everyday, its such a mine field as the spoke design effect what will clear uk calipers also.

Hi, I got a set of those for my supe, although I can't help you with the Uk spec brakes part (I upgraded pads and disks on my jspec brakes to semi compensate for the time being. Guigsy if you have some time spare could we do a check with them over UK spec calipers please before I get UK spec fronts ? unless someone else can say they definitely fit ? ) Anyway what I do know is if you order them make sure you go for the Avon zz3 tyre upgrade as they come with some real poop tyres (nankang or something) that look dodgy and have a speed rating that a scooter could push to the limit ! IIRC was about 100 ish ! Although the speed limit is 70 and shouldn't factor in on regular day to day driving I correlate a high speed rating with quality of tyre ( the avons are a nice and happy 185 or so ) so definitely worth the upgrade. (they sent me the wrong tyres to start with as went for the upgrade, but they did a fast turnaround on putting it right) HTH and if anyone has experience of them with UK calipers would be very nice to know best regards, Andy Edited January 17, 2009 by Supra Size Me (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Very nice:cool: ta Blitz Type 03... are they genuine? yep, got them recently secondhand................for a few reasons i'm wavering about fitting them (just a test fit for the pic)....

I sold mine because one was damaged. I'm still gutted about it. Blitz quoted me £600 plus VAT and delivery for one wheel, and with a 4 month wait. I bought some new wheels instead.
