SuperGibbon Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I'm looking to get some new alloys for my car but I'm on a budget as my car is getting re-sprayed as I type so I'm low on funds right now. I came across these on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-BLACK-SHARK-ALLOY-WHEELS-TOYOTA-SUPRA-TYRES_W0QQitemZ350327581360QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET?hash=item519126aab0#ht_5568wt_941 What do you guys think? would they look good on a supra? anyone have an idea on the quality of them? Any information would be helpful. Cheers Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 they do a carbon look version, tens times better in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 they do a carbon look version, tens times better in my opinion yep i agree, carbon ones look way better than those, the ones in the pic do look alright but you want something a little more unique.

SuperGibbon Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 I'm liking the carbon effect ones look very nice on the supra. I'll have to look in to those. Thanks for the info/help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supranature Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Gary ffs pay the extra £140 for the Avon ZZ3's as the "performance" tyres supplied at the buy it now price WILL be ditchfinding gash They will be the cheapest crap available (Wanli/Fullrun,etc), their levels of grip will be borderline when dry, and non-existant in the wet/damp. Trust me. E-mail the seller asking for the name of the "performance" tyre, and do a search on here. Remember- tyres are the only thing between you and 1500kgs versus the road The wheels look very nice BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Sean Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 They are Primewell tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supranature Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 They are Primewell tyres. Done a search and they have only appeared on a "what tyre do you recommend" thread with a nil result-ie. no recorded feeback-ie. no one has bought them. Assumptions cannot therefore be made, but heres the maths. Avons are £140 more, thats £35 a corner. Ball-park subtraction means that Primewells retail around £60 a corner. I wouldn't put a £60 tyre on a powerful RWD car, and I'm guessing 99% of members on here would feel the same way. Primewell.............. Well past their prime!
