Hi,
Is there much demand for these wheels? they are in need of a refurb but look structurally sound and have the oe centre caps and some of the sticker remaining.
This is not a for sale post (but if this post is breaking rules then please delete) I just wondered if these are popular/rare wheels or if they are just run of the mill? Although i like them a lot, If they are worth a few bob I might look to shift them on to make way for maintenance work.

TOM'S products do seem to be increasing in value. Like you have mentioned, they need a refurb and even then you need the "right" buyer.

If you have a set of staggered 17's then they can be worth good money in good condition.
16's are still nice but go for less.

I think these are staggered but they are 16's not 17's
I think I'll stick them on eBay and see what interest there is
Thanks for the info chaps!

Are they genuine split rims, or just lookalikes?
Also what is the width/offset?

Re: TOMS C7r Split Rim Wheels - much demand?
They are genuine TOMS wheels by the looks of things so would be genuine splits.
Online facts say they are
16x7 front with a 35 offset
16x8 rear with a 38 offset
I'll try and get it on a jack tonight and see if there are some markings etc

They are two piece wheels.
Re: TOMS C7r Split Rim Wheels - much demand?
Its a shame i'm not in the US they seem to be very popular over there!
Re: TOMS C7r Split Rim Wheels - much demand?
They would look proper if you split them up, polished the lips up all shiney and then got the middle powder coated.
Re: TOMS C7r Split Rim Wheels - much demand?
Definitely. I'd keep them personally. They don't come up for sale very often and really suit the car.
Those sizes are perfect 16inch sizes as well.

I know they are Toyota wheels but they would look very nice on my recently acquired RX7 FC
Re: TOMS C7r Split Rim Wheels - much demand?
They are quite rare and I have been collecting them for a few years now.
I have 2 sets of 16's and a pair of 17's from a Supra rear end to make a double staggered set from at some point.
As a quality item goes they are extremely well made and by one of the best wheel manufacturers.
They were a Toyota dealership upgrade in Japan only from what I have read over the years and there were even some magnesium ones made that were super light but by now probably quite brittle.
Definitely keep them.
Have a look at my profile for plenty of pics restored. The lower the car the better they look.....
