jackso11 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I have always had 5 spoke wheels right back to my first ever fiesta. It is now about time I put my own wheels on my latest sup and sold on the ones it came with, but for a change I am swaying towards mesh type wheels. I was going to go with Jade-r's in black, but then started looking at mesh wheels. I have tyres so am not bothered about a package, but have found Cruize 190's which seem very cheap for a nice looking wheel. I am having trouble deciding if I want silver or black mash, with a polish lip. Black look good, but I am going for 18" and think they look quite small with a black middle in 18". 19" they look better but I had 19" on my last sup and after driving on 18" wheels I will never go back, it is so much quieter and more comfortable with 18"s! Anyones opinions and pictures to help me decide would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Gunmetal, if you go gloss black it makes the tyres look grey and naff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Budget is just average price, nothing too expensive. I guess £500-£600 should get a fairly decent set of rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Gunmetal, if you go gloss black it makes the tyres look grey and naff. Gunmetal is an option. I have looked at a few 6 spokes that are quiet nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Knightracer had a set of WED SA70's, not sure if they are sold, they were more than £600 though (did have new tyres) I like the black on black but I am bias as I have owned 2 cars with WED SA 70's I like the Blitz Technospeeds as well, great wheel JamieP's are a nice wheel as well. So much choice but the Wheelmania wheels do seem to have a short shelf life IMO of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I very much doubt you'll find a set of decent quality rims for that budget... I would say to go black but that's what I did so I'm biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramkivcork Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Gunmetal rota torques would be nice, 8.5 front 9.5 rear. May be a small bit above budget. Edited January 7, 2010 by supramkivcork (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I know they're not 'mesh' but I don't regret going black with polished lip. I reckon the Ultralite or Rota range of wheels are probably the 'cheapest' decent ones to go for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of black on black, but that chrome lip seperating it out looks great Stevo loving those pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 without tyres that budget should be able to get some pretty nice looking wheels. I am not bothered about them being super light drift spec amazing wheels, I just want them to look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Wheel quality & style outweigh colour IMHO, a good set of wheels will look good no matter what colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 these look quite nice, but does anyone know if that is a blue sticker that will come off the wheels? or is it glazed on? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-INOVIT-ST6-ALLOY-WHEELS-NISSAN-SKYLINE-GTS-TYRES_W0QQitemZ350295941897QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET?hash=item518f43e309 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Don't know about the sticker but they don't seem suitable for a Supra. I know the advert says they'll go, but they're only 7.5" widths and don't appear to come as a staggered set...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yeah sorry, I just took one of the links on ebay, they are available in different sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 I think they look good, but there is an MR2 that parks right near me that has the split 5 spokes like that in black with a plished lip.....I don't want the same I really like my old Fox Racing RS5's, but they don't do them wide enough for a TT in 18" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 i agree with black centers with a polished lip, of course i'm bias too. i'm not sure what you mean by 'mesh' but i think mine are what you mean, also i'd try and get a good dish on the rear if your going with polished lip- http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=103468&d=1262882461 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 8" front and 9" rear? or 8.5" and 9.5" ? Depends on their offset and what brakes you have, plus what tyres you've got to go on. All that aside, most people go for the 8.5" and 9.5" combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind are yours? they look nice but I tend to think black middles make the wheels look smaller, I guess its because you focus on the black bit which is smaller.

jackso11 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 by the way, your handbrake is obviously better than mine. I would never be able to park on a slope like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 These look great in my opinion, would love some for my car. What make are these These are Ultralite GT-II. Available in correct offsets at 8.5" and 9.5" widths for approx £150 a corner (not including tyres). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
