terribleturner Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Well with the upgrade to UK brakes, i don't think my rims are gonna fit. I can't really decide still which to go for, but i know i'm looking at probably a 5/6 spoke deep rim set. But to help me decide, does anyone wanna hazzard a guess at what these are?? http://www.elit3.com/upload/75_3.jpg http://gallery.502streetscene.net/data/500/medium/scranton_garage.jpg http://www.prolexperformance.com/mike/supra/skyline9.jpg Nearly bought these Blitz wheels, but not 100% sure if they will look right on a black car. http://www.crewtwinturbo.com/supraSide.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt T Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 They are HRE's i believe, VERY nice wheels, with a suitably large price tag! http://images2.hrewheels.com/wheels/images/enlarge/enlarge-545r.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 One site i looked on quoted prices from £700 EACH! Back to the drawing board then But they do look nie. I wonder if they would do credit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Yep very nice prefer the 5 spokes though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 £700 each, probably excluding the shipping costs and duty etc, and before rubber, but you do have to pay for tastey bling rims! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 2nd car could be CCW's - SP500's http://www.ccwheel.com/files/gallery/toyota/mkivsupra/sp500/3l.jpg 3rd car is again HRE's http://images2.hrewheels.com/wheels/images/enlarge/enlarge-841r.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 The red TRD is wearing my new wheels They are 19" iForged Aero's. Looking at about £3-3.5k with tyres. What size rims is the top carbon/grey wearing? Custom wide arches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD3000GT Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 First set are HRE's and they will set you back £3500 + to get them here mate if you are looking for a REALLY good set of wheels at a really good price I have a friend who deals with STERN wheels... I can get a set of 18" X 8.5 18" X 9.5 in Supra fitment for around £1000 shipped from the US. Here is a few pictures of the types they have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt T Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 They do look nice and a good price, are they genuine 3piece wheels? Any links to the quality of them? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Im 99% sure they are 1 piece rims but Ill ask and look a bt more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 oooh i'm liking the first ones Chris, might knock the Do Lucks off the top of my wish list. look like a nice deep dish too what's the widest tyre they'd take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 9.5 inch rear so Im pretty sure you could squeeze on a 295 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 hmmmm i'm pretty sure i'm gonna get a small single within the next year, 295 should be just wide enough........ was the £1000-ish price a special offer or is that just what they cost from the states? what about shippin etc? is there a long wait from order like there is with other high quality wheels?

Matt T Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Had a look at their site and their a bit 'bling' for my tastes. Can he get hold of any other wheels do you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 the guy Ive dealt with is http://www.need4speedmotors.com He has some VERY nice wheels on the site and shipping to the uk is a $400-500 charge... Have a look at these for a less bling look http://www.need4speedmotors.com/cargallery/278w2.jpg http://www.need4speedmotors.com/cargallery/278w1.jpg http://www.need4speedmotors.com/cargallery/1C.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 9.5 inch rear so Im pretty sure you could squeeze on a 295 Hmm, 285s on my 10 inch rears hang over like crazy, I think 295 will be way too wide for a 9.5 inch rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I think 295 will be way too wide for a 9.5 inch rim. 295 are too big for a 9.5", good call Bobbeh. 265 ideal, 275 max for a 9.5". Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennMR2 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 they are some bloddy nice rims there... cheap as chips as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
