***EDIT Wheels are 8inch and 9inch not 9 and 10***

The wheels are 18" x8" front and 9" rear and tyres are 225/40R18 front(Dunlop healthy tread) and 265/35R18 on the rear(Pirelli need replacing )

 

5 x 114 ET45 front 38 rear

 

no serious kerbing marks other marks on the face of these rims there is some slight corrosion where some of the paint is coming off on the inside of them but its very little and not noticeable on them its just where water had got a chance to sit on them when parked i think

 

Looking for £550 for all 4 inc tyres, collected from Bristol, or I could get quotes from couiers

 

This is what the manufacturers say:

 

Model 7 one-piece cast-spoke design

The letter logo plate concave spoke aluminum (anodized gold) embedded.

machined aluminum (anodized light gold processing) + molded acrylic ornament Center.

Reguarding your photos, the first wheels have 7 spokes, the example photo only has 6?

My bad, I just googled AVS alloys on Supra, they must be a different model AVS, other than having one extra spoke they look the same :)

Well it's been about a month, and I have given him enough chances to reply. So now I'm giving a little warning to people: I bought these, and when they were delivered I realise that Ross likes to exaggerate a little bit:

 

1. He said that there were "no marks on the faces" of the wheels, in fact the condition is very far from that: the drivers side front in particular has marks all over it and really needs refurbishing.

2. According to Ross the front tyres had "healthy tread". So why is it that when I put the wheels on the car and took it for an MOT it failed on one of the front tyres having a split in the carcass?

3. But worst of all, in the pictures he showed he has Supra four pot calipers - so you might assume that these wheels would fit over big brakes? WRONG: he forgot to mention that he was running spacers.

 

and to add insult to injury, the wheels arrived in absolutely filthy condition.

 

I have sent him a number of messages, all of which have been ignored. Hopefully people now will be warned about this guy, so be careful everybody.

OK Patrick, lets get a few things straight..

 

1- I replied to you once you received the wheels asking if I had the spigots.. I said no and researched the ones you needed and sent you a link to the items needed ( you never mentioned big brakes)

 

2- You never mentioned the wheels failing an MOT until now. These wheels were on my car when it passed an MOT 2 weeks ish before I listed the wheels on here, so I had NO reason to believe they wouldn't do so again, I am not an MOT tester and so went on the opinion of the mot tester that did my car.

 

3- You've put quotation marks around "no marks on face" but as you can see above what I said was no serious kerbing marks, and I included high res close ups

 

4- i was not trying to hide anything about the size of the wheels, as I included the wheels size/depth and offset and presumed anyone looking to buy wheels would understand what these are and would know what offset they were looking for. OR if they weren't sure, they would ask. Clearly I was wrong in your case

I am sorry I didn't have time to wash the wheels, but I didn't have the time as I was moving house.
