Another New Alloys Post !

[Asterix187]

After my much slated momentary lapse in style i have scrapped the "i cant even mention them" alloys and am going to buy a set of these tomorrow (18's!!!) to fit to my Gen 7 Celica

Let me know if it was actually NOT a lack of style and do i just have rubbish style?!!!

[adamgt]

I think them Ace wheels will look great on a gen7 especially 18s. I had 18" Ace 201 alloys on my last celica and i thought they were great.

[daktari]

Yep. Your tastes are definately improving. Much better.

[chris202]

Much better , not my cup of tea but much better - try Lenso shu in 18's (think thats how its spelt) they would suit a gen7 really well

Bad pic and the wrong colour but you get the idea

What a great wheel choice. Think they will look great

But I'm kind of that way inclined

[Asterix187]

Well it just isnt my week!!!

I bought them from a wheel shop on eBay, new, only to have my money refunded as they dont have them in stock and cant get any more.

There was still 1 day to go and it said they had 2 sets in so i am baffled as to why they were even listing them if they didnt have them!!

[adamgt]

you think thats bad luck. The first THREE sets of wheels that i went to buy were all discontinued!! And the places i tried to order them from still advertise them on their websites!! :ffs:

[adamgt]

I still think these are great wheels!!

Thats bad !!

I am thinking about them Lenzo Riezen's, what do you think?

[GT4 BOOSTER]

have a peek on the rochford tyres web site , its pretty reasonable prices also

[Asterix187]

what about wolfrace asia tec dragons? bit chavvy or ok?

or maybe these

oh choices.....

[Asterix187]

oh well i have ordered some now....

I got these ones...

[daktari]

Nooooooo.... !!! You should`ve got these.

Only kidding.

[Asterix187]

But were you??? I did actually like them a lot, but i am not a street racer and dont think my work would appreciate me turning up on a site in an on road race car!!

I thought those ones were nice (18" of joy) but also not too flashy/chav/boy racer ish.

And it was Martin Longbow's post of his Gen6 that did it for me, they pretty much look like the same alloys and they look sweet on his car!

[daktari]

Nah. The lenzo`s are a bit 'blingy' The ones you`ve chosen look subtle but purposeful... I like 'em

[Asterix187]

that was kind of the aim, £500 delivered with 225/40r18's on them

Dont want to show off but still want them to look nice :)

All i need now is the Blitz Supercharger and i'm happy!

[adamgt]

look good mate I nearly brought a set of them for my GT a couple of years back. Only reason i didnt buy them was because they were out of stock of my fitment.

Only thing is i would have gone for 215/35/18

Pics when they are on please ;)

[Asterix187]

why would you have gone for 215/35r18 's ?

I thought the 225 would give better handling?

Also do i need my speedo etc re adjusted as they are effectively 30mm bigger in diameter?

[adamgt]

why would you have gone for 215/35r18 's ?

215 i wide enough on that car imo. 35 tyre wall is smaller and makes 18s look awesome. Many people would have gone for the size you chose tho :)

[Asterix187]

well it was recommended by the company i bought it off, i havent a clue!

Get em on wednesday though!

[adamgt]

Im sure they will look great. pics on wednesday then

[Asterix187]

well they turned up today and are already fitted!!!

I havent got a camera at work though so i any take any pics :(

Will sort some when i can but they do look quite nice !!

[IanGT]

Best wheels for the gen 7 are racing hart suit them so god, bit pricey though. Nice choice though the 1's you've ordered.

[Asterix187]

Its a bit grainy and the light is rubbish as i just took it but i will take a proper one tomorrow in the sun etc

What do you think?

[daktari]

Nod of approval here. Looks luverrrly.
