Gazboy Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 My Supra came with a set of BK's that had corroded badly. They weren't the right size (probably ok for a GT4 though), and they were as heavy as hell, even compared to my Mania's which are far, far heavier themselves than the UK17's I had on loan. It seems 'reasonably priced' and 'fit over UK brakes' are rarely seen on the same spec sheet when it comes to wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpher Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 It seems 'reasonably priced' and 'fit over UK brakes' are rarely seen on the same spec sheet when it comes to wheels.

Bobbeh Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 They do look good, and who cares if they go to crap, if you're getting them cheap enjoy them while you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpher Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 hi mate mine are 18s not sure on the off set ? you got yours yet? Ahh....that would explain why the 19" wouldnt fit my car then They wouldnt clear the eurospec calippers... So we tried just about any wheel the dealer had in stock! And finally we settled for this one in 8,5x19" and 9,5x19" Ill post pictures of them on the car as soon as the weather clears up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpher Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 They do look good, and who cares if they go to crap, if you're getting them cheap enjoy them while you can Pfft... I always take extra good care of my belogings..so i dont think thats gonna be a problem The are a bit on the heavy side though...but i guess this is part them being 19" and part beacuse theyre dirt-cheap-heavy-alloys?

Guest mk47 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 the wheels look nice but i reckon if you had skirts & spats itll make the car look alot better, only coz you got big wheels the car looks a bit too high. even with lowering it a lil i think you should get some spats/skirts if you get the chance nice car though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Have you had a go in photoshop yet, I did a rough job on your car and lowered it and it made a world of a difference, wheels looked so much better. Car as is, not like wheels Car lowered, like wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
