Westy Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Cheers fellas. I'm happy with them now that they are reverse mounted! Makes such a huge difference to their look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 So do I! I've always wanted a set but the Supra sizes are difficult to come across at a decent price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitch79 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Were they in a for sale thread couple of month ago by keron? I vaguely remember being extremely tempted... And checked every few minutes ha. I was kinda glad when they sold, but also gutted. I'm waiting an eternity for some white volk te37's turn up, and I can't use rota, I'd know they ain't volk haha.

JDukesy Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Oh. my. god. those wheels are going to look amazing! I am so very jealous! Also just a thought what about getting the bolts done in bronze same as the car? Would be subtle but look really nice and tie it all together I think?

Westy Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Haha! The link to the sale thread is also there! Good try though! They are 95% of the way there now so hopefully get them back together this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hit a rabbit the other night on the way home so got me thinking....if that had been something bigger (fox or badger etc) my bumper would have been ruined so bought a spare stock front just incase. This may seem extreme but being my daily I can't afford the time to source one if the worse happens. It arrived today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_cbr Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 now to paint it in that lovely 1a1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'm actually going to leave it silver until required mate. It'll be in storage so don't want new paint getting scratched or damaged. I'll just paint it if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hahahaha you may as well buy a 3rd supra thinking like that! Why happends if a Bird goes through the headlight or a rock through the rad!!! And I thought I was anal! Will we get to park our cars together this year? I missed last year!

Westy Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Nah, bumper is likely to take a smash at some point given how low this car is mate. OEM fronts aren't that easy to come across these days and certainly not at the price I got this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_Bullet Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Those wheels really set the car off, good choice westy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Cheers Chris! They are pretty epic wheels IMO. On another note the car was dropped off at 0930hrs for it's MOT and I've got it back already! Sailed through with no advisories!!!! Happy boy!

Westy Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Cheers Kaan! I don't envy the job that polishers have! The wheels took an age to do working a 6 stage polishing system that started at 80 grit! Never again!!!lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels took an age to do working a 6 stage polishing system that started at 80 grit! Never again!!!lol! 80! That'll have felt like a grinder going on ha. I'd love to attempt mine, but fear of a balls up scares the crap outa me! Did you finish on 2500 / 3000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew K Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Lovely looking wheels bud and you've made a good job at cleaning them up gonna set the car of a treat. Would mounting the wheel faces on the back as you've done instead of the front as they were cause you any troubles with rubbing on the arches?

Westy Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Possibly buddy as reverse mounting like this lowers the offset. Until I fit them I won't know but shouldn't take more than an arch roll to sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Just magic the car was already epic, the wheels will lift it another level, good work bud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Thanks mate. Car had come a long way in the year I've owned it I think. Maybe by this time next year it'll be done!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
