LOGIE Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 i found a set of these for sale recently but the offset was 40 front and 46 rear i thought these were supposed to be 50 all round? i hesitated for that reason and they sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the GS needed a little more clearance for the 245 and 275 tyres. I know that 235s on Supra 17s are quite close to the suspension uprights on my Aristo.

2soops Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Well, i finally managed to get the machine shop to finish of the centre caps for me, below are pictures of the front, back and laid on top of a diamond cut and black rear. The rears of the cap havent been machined out to match the originals but they have left a thicker band of metal round the edge. This does make them slightly heavier but they are stronger. In the pictures they appear to be a different finish from the wheel, however it is bare aluminium and not powder coated yet like the wheel. I think i will have to paint the machined in logo black, then get them powder coated clear. I am well pleased with these as they look awesome even just laid on the wheel:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin-mkiv Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I can't decide whether or not I like these on Supras. I love the custom centrecap though, maybe that could sway me to liking them. I'll save my conclusion until I've seen them done and dusted and on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very subtle Thanks for all the compliments To answer a couple of questions. I had them custom made so they are a one of set, but that's not to say I couldn't get some more done. As for cost, this set was £200 however now they have the machining program's worked out, any more would presumably be cheaper. The guy that made them also said he thought the logo would look better slightly larger. It's 80 mm at the moment but he said doing 100 mm would be easy enough. If theres enough interest and the mods are okay with it I could get some prices for a bulk order, say 5 or more sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd pay a reasonable fee for them, but not that much. Certainly ask the mods and see what can be had for a Group Buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodalmighty Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 I hope the ones I'm having made are as nice as these Today I collect my wheels from Ibrar and the centres will be winging there way to my machinist. Photo's to follow as requested Lyndon. They're nice - not £200 nice though. I'd pay a reasonable fee for them, but not that much. Certainly ask the mods and see what can be had for a Group Buy.

You and me both mate First time a saw a set on a Supra was also the first Single (T78) on a Du-Luck fronted Purple beast i ever saw.

If theres enough interest and the mods are okay with it I could get some prices for a bulk order, say 5 or more sets. As a price guide, when I bought my TTE centre caps, they cost £15.45 each. I doubt very much you could make them for anywhere near that price, but getting a few sets made might get them down to a price that I may have to purchase a set just for the 'collection'.
