marcAB10 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 perhaps put up a few pics of wheels you like the look of and members may have an idea of where you might be best to go to get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Not huge unfortunately That doesn't really help now, does it? As Marc has said, what style do you like, what diameter are you after, what's your budget (£?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Rota do some nice wheels that wont break the bank, whifbitz can supply any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 if i was to buy new 'budget' wheels right now it would have to be rota grids in black chrome.. i was close to getting these but i'm holding out for a set of works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notractionin4th Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 To be honest guys I haven't had my Supra long, barely driven it due to the weather, and it's been under cover for most of the time, so I don't really have anything in mind yet. It was just a quick question in the hope that you would be able to quickly punch out the names of websites / suppliers etc that you know of just so I can get the ball rolling. I've had a look at the Rota's, I quite like the GRA's and the Force. Jamie, I had a quick butchers in your pics and there's some black multi spokes in some of them that look nice. Sorry if i'm a pain in the arse, I do appreciate your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Not a pain in the arse mate, I'd just get a feel for what you're actually looking for first then look at what's available in your price range. I love the Rota wheels and would be surprised if you didn't find something you liked within even a modest budget. My personal preference is the Rota Fighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Jamie, I had a quick butchers in your pics and there's some black multi spokes in some of them that look nice. They are Advan RS, i have sold them now, they cost £1950 with the caps iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Jamie, I had a quick butchers in your pics and there's some black multi spokes in some of them that look nice. As jamie mentioned expensive! There is a wheel thread going around from a few weeks ago. Plenty of idea's in that thread. You could pick up a nice 2nd hand set fo 600quid with tyres if you wait long enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like the look of the Advan RS but want something cheaper, the Weds SA-70 look similar but are around half the price. http://www.weds.co.jp/products/index.html#sport There are pics of the bronze SA-70 wheels on my car HERE or black chrome SA-70 wheels on Geo's car HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I see you live in East Anglia old bean, where abouts? There's a few of us in the east anglia area. Maybe you'd like to pop along to a meet once the weather gets a bit better. I've wanted a good look round a Single for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in between Norwich & Thetford) Where abouts are you chap, and the others? Yep, i know where that is. There's a cpl of us in the Great Yarmouth area (Gorleston, Bradwell, Caister), one in Acle. All over the place really. We all met a while back on Yarmouth Sea front after Santa Pod all all the cars from SP cruise there afterwards. Easy over 200 modified cars there. I also organised a convoy down to Modified live at Snetterton for all the locals and to watch Paul Whiffen race in the Time Attack series.

Supranature Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) I assume that as your car is a single it has upgraded brakes, UK spec minimum? You need to ensure that any wheels you are considering will clear your calipers. A lot won't. There is a sticky thread which members have contributed to which lists what wheels will/won't fit UK calipers. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?18157-Wheels-known-to-fit-over-UK-brakes Edited December 26, 2010 by Supranature (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at modified live again this year, Paul's Supra is brutal. I see that one of your friends is Staples..... that isn't Stuart Staples by any chance is it?

I'm not sure tbh mate, dont think i've really spoken to him much, he just added me as a friend on here because we were local to each other lol. You should update your Garage with specs of the car and pics. Also, like Supranature says, if you dont have already, you should really be thinking about getting UK spec calipers when your running a T70. No sense having all that Go and not being able to stop haha. Keron is selling a pair of UK fronts at the moment, £325 i think. Getting wheels that will fit over UK's is definately something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Linea Corse wheels from the states are nice.......but be prepared to wait. Prices are similar to Rotas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
