jot_ie Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hoping some one can help. I need a new set of wheels to finally get my car back on the road, after almost 5 years Really fell in love with ADV.1 wheels, particularly the ADV10's, pics enclosed Unfortunately I'm getting prices around £5,500, which is almost €8,000, without tyres :-(, Silly money. I'm hoping for 18x9.5 front and 18X11 rear. I got the body shop to roll my rear arches while the car was being repaired and resprayed Does anyone know of a similar style of wheel that are not going to require me to sell my first born into slavery. I did price some new Oem Toyota wheels, €2,200 including centre caps. This may be an option but I prefer the look of the ADV's Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jot_ie Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hi Pedro. A bit extreme for my tastes. Probably need a wide body kit for those :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) If you can find a set, the old Blitz Technospeed Z1 multispoke wheels look superficially similar. They were always one of the best looking wheels on a Supra too imo. Edited November 9, 2015 by j_jza80 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Probably need a wide body kit for those :-) Oh most definitely Take a look at JDMDistro, they're based in Ireland with a good selection of proper JDM wheels, some already in the country and some available. I treated myself to a set of these last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks, ill have a look and see but I fear getting the sizes I want in a set isn't going to be easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 No, I think the cost common sizes found on Supras were 9 fronts and 10 rears. Any decent wheel in the sizes you want are going to be very expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm liking those :-) What sizes did you go for and have you managed to get them on your car yet? 18" x 10", ET+35 (same spec front and rear) And no, but I did buy an arch roller yesterday! These will be made fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any decent wheel in the sizes you want are going to be very expensive though. I'm finding that :-(. When I started I figured maybe a budget of €3,000 would get me what I wanted. I would have said that was expensive ..... but €8,000 is ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound like a bit of a squeeze :-). Looking forward to seeing them on :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Might be worth checking put some of the offerings from some other wheel manufacturers. Your budget should get you some very nice wheels from the likes of Braid, BBS, Image wheels etc. Those prices for those ADV1 wheels is stupid. They're obviously designed for people with more money than sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loomie Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) I actually went through exactly the same thing as you - i looked for some cheaper options but didnt find anything i was completely happy with so thought i'd park the circles till later... The two i found which i came closest to getting were these... http://www.lkperformance.co.uk/wheels/vossen/4237-vfs1-matt-graphite?vehicle=1343&rim_size=19 and http://www.lkperformance.co.uk/wheels/rohana/3807-rc10?vehicle=1343 http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_jerez.php I loved the rohanna's particularly.

suprano Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Also with the style you want have you thought about a get of Lexus borbets I've always liked the idea of getting 4 rears as a set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for that, I'm really liking your choices and I have to agree, the rohanna's would be my favourite too. Unfortunately I cant park the search for wheels as its really the only big ticket item left that's stopping me putting the car back on the road. 5 years waiting for this stage to arrive :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there may have been a set for sale recently, just unsure of the "square" cut to them Those Rotas might be nice, bit like the classics :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the smallest the rohana's come in is a 19 though so might not fit without rolling arches. If you do end up getting them let me know how you get on with fitment etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the smallest the rohana's come in is a 19 though so might not fit without rolling arches. If you do end up getting them let me know how you get on with fitment etc Ive done quite a bit of research on fitment over the last while. Should be the same for 18's or 19's. The way I see it you just have to go with a larger sidewall on the tyres for 18's. 19's just limit your tyre choice in the big sizes. My recconing is 18 x 9.5 ET 36 Fronts with 265 35 tyres 18 x 11 ET 48 Rears with 315 30 tyres Should give a nice flush fit without rubbing (rear arches rolled). And on stock suspension, should be plenty of travel before the arches get that low anyway. I suppose there's only one way to prove it :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Have a look at the WedsSport range, very good quality wheels and not silly money. I use to have Weds SA-70 18x9 +32/18x10 +32 (now discontinued) on mine, pics in my garage HERE http://wedssport.jp/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
