ChrisSZ Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 My RX8 rims (18" X 8.5j) with tyres (2 X Falken 451s 245/40/18 - loads of tread and 2 X Falken 452s 245/40/18 almost new). With Toyota centre caps. These rims really suite the Supra but you will need spacers to clear UK brakes ( http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=101531 ). Come with nylon spigot rings. Looking for £350 - pick up only but may be able to meet part-way:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cntt Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 any chance you might consider shipping them wheels and tyres? I live in Ireland and I'm hunting for a set of wheels here, interested the spacers too to bring out the rear a bit. have money waiting cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 I'd be more than happy to- if I had a clue how one goes about posting wheels anywhere:( If you can arrange shipping your end then that's cool mate:) PM received and replied to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Chris there are a few online courier websites. Package up the wheels weigh them and get the measurements it should allow for quotes to a destination from there: I use : http://www.interparcel.com/ but there are others, parcel 2 go i think is another.

ChrisSZ Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Cheers Col, how do you wrap wheels and tyres? And then weigh them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Cheers Col, how do you wrap wheels and tyres? And then weigh them?? Got to supermarket get loads of walkers crisp boxes and then wrap them, and use load of brown tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Cheers Col, how do you wrap wheels and tyres? And then weigh them?? For the last set i sent out i wrapped the front and rear of the alloys in cardboard (to protect the painted faces) taped all the way round that, then put them in to extra strong garden bags (bin bags) and then lots of tape I packaged them in pairs (i didn't have tyres though) as it was slightly cheaper. Edit: to weigh them, do you have a set of weighing scales ? weigh yourself then pick up the wheels (if you can ) then weigh yourself again then subtract the difference.

Supradan Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I would package them singly as if 2 wheels and tyres weigh more than 20kg the carrier will not take them,to do with manual lifting legal weight limits. I arranged for a set of supra 16`s with tyres and it cost me about £40:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cntt Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Supradan Must have stronger drivers LOL yeah if you could do that, it would be a lot easier than me arrange from this end, as you would need to pack them up anyway. if you don't mind that would be great. £40 for 16"s with tyres, wow thats cheap, couldn't be much more for these so I defo buy them asap from you my wheels are driving me nuts by the way, did you use the wheels with them spacers? how was it with the spacers on? any unusual noise or vibrations? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
