Possible new wheels: opinions?

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

Guy only wants 250 bucks for them, he's local. He said the clearcoat is peeling pretty bad on them, but no biggy, I want to strip them and do 'em up in bronze. Come with 3 tires, 4th tire got slashed.

Vote please!

PS 5x114.3 right??

like em,
however, what's the specs on em?
hell, for 250 man, that's a good deal

 

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

Whatta you mean by specs? If you mean the offset, I dunno >_< and neither does he. BUT, I found out the stock offset is +37 lol

Only thing Im worried about is the lug nuts not fitting in those tiny ass holes.

 

[Fozbo]

What dimensions are they?

 

[SilverSupraT]

you can figure out the offset if you really wanted too. just measure the width of the wheel, then drop a plumb line from the back of the wheel and measure from there to where the rotor would meet. Subtract half the wheel width and that's your offset.

EDIT: You'll probably need to buy some keyed lug nuts. They look similar to a socket, mine take like an M12 hex.

Those look great for the price! The lug holes can be bored out a bit pretty cheaply if they don't fit.

oh durrr lol they're 18x8's Not quite as wide as I'd like, but for some new shoes that're .5" wider, and only $250+the cost of 1 tire...I'LL TAKE EM!

HT55--I'd like to try to avoid having to buy new lug nuts, but it could be a possibility. how's that r154 swap going? let me know, I'm debating doing one!

Johnathan--thanks for the idea to bore out the lug nut holes...GENIUS!

EDIT: They're only 215/35/18's on there I guess I'll have to burn the rubber off and get some 255's or so put on there!!

 

[RazoE]

it isnt worth the hassel of boring out and buying 4 new tires..

just buy and resell them for a small profit...

 

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

Why would I need 4 new tires? The 3 that are on there have 90-95% tread left...only need 1 tire. In reference to getting 255's--That'll be a ways down the road.

 

[RazoE]

cause they're 215's....

you could ice skate with those narrow things..!

 

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

lol yeah well they're drivable on. Won't be the most comfortable ride, nor will it look as good, but they'll work for a month or 2!

 

[RazoE]

oh, then fuck it, 250's a great deal..

 

[kylefoto]

holy shit
I've got 225's one my SAWBLADES
that's sad that those are only 215's.

 

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

Welcome to the light! lol

EDIT: Kyle--I KNOW DAMMIT! lol I realize they're like buying size 18 shoes in a narrow footbed...but still, they're cheap, and less than 3 months they'll be sittin on 255's or wider

 

[SupraDreamPDR]

they would look waaaaaay better if you painted them bronze. and i would say burn off those tiny 215's and put on at least some 245's. hell, for $250, go for it.

 

[swaq]

$250 is a really good deal. I really like the 5-spoke look.

 

[aye mate]

hells yea man! Snatch em up!

 

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

Thanks for the input guys!

here's a pic of a supra (EDIT: This is SupraRacer...I think he's on here too) (somewhat local guy) with the same wheels on his car:

 

[edi]

Konig Rewinds... i have the same wheels on my car. their okay but i dont like them. anything is better than saw blades, right? i'm going to keep em' on my car till i find the ones i truly want.

 

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

Actually no, Konig Monsoons.
