Rob Davey Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 may be a repost but someone on ebay seems to be passing off 16" supra alloys as 17", and he's making good money doing it so it seems... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-1994-ORIGINAL-17-ALLOY-WHEELS_W0QQitemZ190078633423QQihZ009QQcategoryZ9888QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Mac Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Funny you mention that - as I asked him about them and he guaranteed they were 17's. Until you posted this I was sure I must have just not known about that style of 17's. Easily disputed when they arrived i'd have thought though?

Lewis Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 They look like they could be 17's to me, what makes you so sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 A closeup of a tyre size would resolve this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Spokes don't look flat enough to be 17's A 16: http://www.megaboost.co.uk/16s/IMG_1903.JPG A 17: http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/wheels/wheels-01.jpg The 17's don't taper in as they get to the rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 i'm pretty sure they are 16's...............the spokes are, thinner and more rounded, and less 'blade like' than 17's IMO....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Mac Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I've just had a look at these using photo editing software and the section of the tyre that should display the dimensions seems to have been 'edited'. I know what that suggests to me - and there's plenty of them on E-Bay!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 The bit under the centre cap is different on the 17's too, the ones he's pictured are 16's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 it has only just come to my attension that these are only 16 " but all bidders have been notified thanks edy Job done, hopefully he really has told them otherwise he'll be upsetting someone.

Lewis Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I see, thanks for that - I have never noticed a difference to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
