ive done a search on wheel offsets and still cannot find this. i want to fit 18" x10" wheels to rear and 18" x8.5" to front . what size offsets do i require. tyres; 275 x 35 rear and 235 x 40 on front. i assume it must of been answered before i just cant find it.

someone please answer as i need to get these ordered.

 

cheers ...lee

Lee - I'm also in the midst of getting of 18"ers. How do you fancy possibly teaming up and seeing if we can get a bit of discount if it is that we can get what we want from the same place?

 

Anyone else?

yes if you like. i have found someone who sells the brock range of wheels for an all in price of about £750 at the moment. no tyres for that price. i am in middle of getting tyre prices from friend. sizes as above kumhos = £ 465 and toyos = £615. still trying to get prices on others.

 

cheers ...lee

 

if you want to look at brock wheels. zcentre sell two of the types available

you want an offset of at least 35mm on the front. Would worry too much about the back as if you are getting 10"'s these will have a much larger offset.

Hi Cos,

 

I know of 2 other people who are looking for 18's.

 

Vijay

Be a sport and go for 19's - much more fun, better handling and more costly!

Geoff.

LOL - Nice thought Geoff but my dentist bills are bad enough.

 

Guys - it sounds like there are about 4 of us looking for 18"s.

 

I am torn between these:-

these wanted about £1550 with Goodyears with 8" on the front and 10" on the back.

 

and these:-

 

http://www.wheelmania.co.uk/Wheels/Mania_Racing/wm_razor/pics/wm_razor.gif

 

and these wanted £1160 with goodyears with 8" on the front and 9" on the back.

 

What about you guys?

hi cos, i love the antera 309s maybe we can get this price down?

 

cheers ..lee

Lee

 

Do the 2 people you know what to be in on this so that I can go and say that we want 4 sets or is it just me and you at the moment?

 

Anyone else?

Hi Guys

 

I might be able to get us a very good deal on some alloys and tyres etc.

 

If you let me know what kind, a mate of mine has a garage who sell alloys and tyres...funnily enough :)

 

He's pretty cheap, on my last Zed i changed all the tyres 235x18's on the front and 265x18's on the back, decent tyres £420 fitted.

 

He has already quoted me between £1200 and £1400 for 19's with tyres but it depends on what alloys you want.

 

I'm sure if several of us wanted alloys he would do us a great deal.

 

Let me know anyway

 

Cheers

Kirbz

cos it was vijay who knew 2 other people,

 

kirbz, is there any certain makes or models of wheels your mate can get. i am quite interested in antera 309s, 10" rear and 8.5 front. tyres not important but if cheap enough will definetly consider.

 

cheers ...lee

Hi Lee

 

I dont know what makes he can get, the last ones i bought off hime were Dare alloys but i know he gets various others.

 

Also remember if i buy 19's the 18's on my new Zed will be for sale!!!

 

It all depends on how much i can get for the alloys that are on it at the moment, before i buy some others.

 

If only money was no object :)

 

I will ask him about the anteras

 

Cheers

Kirbz

kirbz, have you picked your car up yet.? just wondered if you had any details on the wheels tyres etc. makes , sizes condition maybe pics. feel free to e mail me.

 

 

cheers ..lee

Cos, those wheels from Wheel Mania, Razors are really nice. When my wife finally gets her Supra back they are the wheels I told her to consider. The other wheels are OK but nothing special.

Happy hunting.

Geoff.

Hi Lee

 

Unfortunatly i couldnt pick the zed last weekend because i had a death in the family so i still dont know but i'm hoping to pick her up next week.

 

As soon as i find out i will post it

 

Cheers

 

Kirbz

Sounds promising - Let us know how you get on with the prices and range Kirbz.

 

 

Cheers

Cos

Ok boys and girls. Have just called WheelBase and they said that they are happy to look after us if we organize a group buy.

 

I am going to call up and ask how much for 18"s with and without decent and not so decent tyres. I'm also assuming that you guys will want the wider option Alloy on the back. Is this right?

 

I'll also find out about the Razor's for you Tanzx because I still haven't decided.

 

Anyone else, speak now or fore-ever hold your piece. :D

Right then:-

 

Got a phone call from WheelBase with the following deals if we buy 3 set of alloys(anteras 309)/tyres based on 2 sets of 18"s and 1 set of 19"s, both with, and without rubber. However, he has not confirmed the prices without rubber so that will follow.

 

18"s with Toyos(8" front 10" rear) @ £1561

 

18" with GoodYear(8" front 10" rear) @ £1633

 

19" with Toyos(8" front 10" rear) @ £1807

 

Am also waiting for confirmation for the Razors.

 

I'm sure we can get them cheaper than that. I will continue the search.

 

 

Cos

hi cos, yes i want the wider rear wheel and am very interested in finding out the price without tyres. i am still looking around for different styles and prices, so will let you know if i find anything worthwhile

 

cheers ...lee

Hi Guys

 

Finally got to see my mate about the alloys and he said:

 

What alloys do you want? He can get most makes

What tyres? and sizes

 

and he says he will do a very good price

 

he also says he will do a special exhaust deal if anyones interested including de-catting

 

He does powerflow exhausts

 

So if you can come back to me with what you want and i will get the pricing for you

 

Cheers

Kirbz

hi kirbz, i want 18" alloys 10" on back and 8.5" on front. i am still open to suggestions on wheel types. i really like the antera 309's. maybe some sort of blitz style wheel.alot of the lenso wheels i have seen are very nice. make of wheels not important though. i need a 35mm offset on front and i have been told to get the biggest offset i can for rear as i am having wide arches done. any pics and prices you can get would be much appreciated.

 

cheers ...lee

Lee

 

The best price for the 18" 309s that I have been getting is £1500 with Toyos and about £1650 with GY. 19"s have been around 1800 with Toyos.

 

Not sure how you feel about that but I'm not sure I can justify that much on wheels and tyres alone and may have to go for the Razors. The only thing that puts me off is that spacers are needed. So I'm a bit warey.

 

Was told that we could still get some more off if we looked at buying 3 or 4 sets at once.

 

You found anything better?

i'm hoping to post some prices later this week so watch this space!!!!

 

Kirbz

hi cos. i have a 5 day weekend coming up so iam hopefully going to get out and visit some wheel and tyre outlets as i am very desperate to get some. im having all my modifications done soon so need to get rid of the crappy stock wheels asap. all im saying is dont rush into buying your wheels, i will try and see if i can get us a deal on different wheels as i can talk to them face to face. will let you know how i get on

 

cheers .lee

Ok mate.

 

However, let me know if you think that you are going to be late sorting them out because my rear rubber aint brill and when the rain falls, I have to drive with 2 hands on the wheel and with 2 pairs of pants.

 

I'm also still waiting for some more quotes on the Razors so will let you know.

cos,

you think your tyres are bad? ive still got jap spec non speed rated tyres.

my car dont stay on the road in the dry

ill let you know

cheers ...lee
