[Mk2] [Generic] Opinions on these wheels for our TRD...

Post by lehem »

Front: 18x8.5+30ET
Rear: 18x9.5+35ET (15mm spacer needed) :cry:

Those wheels are beautiful - think they would look great. Wouldn't mind a set for mine actually as I want to change my wheels and been wondering what to get.

IMO three spokes look gash. :puker: .

How do Boro?! :thumleft: It's efini off SWPC \:D/

Personal preference maybe but I think a sweet set of chunky spoked Rotas would suit it better 8)

Sure I recognised the same Photograph :thumleft:


Actually, seeing the rear dish, could suit the car. Can you get a side on shot of the car and a flat photo of the rims you want? I'll try and photoshop them for you :mrgreen:

Personally I think they are too 'bling' for a TRD. More suited to a European car.

If I have that sort of cash for wheels I would look at something like SE37k or Volk GT-U or TE37s.

My 2p worth.

I do like the gold deep dish think this range Is good In any of the tones or finish. They remind me of the Blitz units Chris and Andyf Imported.Probably for the price It's the way to go.Jap rims are pretty pricey though.Can you not get a lower offset to avoid using spacers like a 25-30 for exampe.Might a lower offset work at all If they do produce It? Go for them as above. :wink:

Without spending £1000's is pretty difficult to get wheels with the right offsets so that spacers arent needed. These are pretty much as good as it gets for the money.

We paid £505 for four brand new alloys without tyres. Show me where i could get new jap alloys for that price in the right offsets and i'll cut my right arm off with a blunt knife using my teeth and slap myself with the soggy end, lol.

Lovely TRD MR 2. Which tone did you decide on and was It the deep dish or other. 15- 20 mm hub centric spacers will be easy as.Falken sizes and profiles you have chosen are perfect. I had 225 35 17" and 245 35 18" 8 and 9" wide 35 and 38 off sets. Handling out of this world. Really look forward now to seeing them fitted. 8)

Thanks :thumleft:

The fronts are the smaller dish and the rears have the larger dish. We ended up getting the gun metal but only because we found a set on ebay brand new and boxed in the right sizes/offsets.

The guy selling bought them for his car and never used em.

Just need to get some tyres now and will post some pics up.
