I guess the price isn't too bad but I can get them landed personally for less than half that price. Yeah, I know the price isn't too sharp but they have tyres on already and are in the country now, which means no hidden costs, no organising shipping and no waiting for them to arrive, then getting tyres and fitting etc. Worth it for the lazy people like me, for the couple of hundred dollar saving. |

Yeah yeah... actaully been thinking this morning about looking into the Diamond Racing Wheels, get some 15x8 0 offsets in the D pattern. A la Karmageddon on OS but not as stupidly ridiculous.

Let me know if you head in that direction. I know a guy who's looking at some too. Posted this link a couple of weeks ago so he may be going through the process as we speak. Getting 2 sets in would be way cheaper I'd imagine. www.diamondracingwheels.com/pro.html |

Be wary of TOMS wheels or anything made specifically for a Toyota, as they won't fit over the hub bore of a t-car. It won't be too hard to machine out the bore of the wheels but its an added expense on wheels that are intended to be a cheap set of rollers. I've run into it before and it gut me.
You're right though, seem to be a few nice sets around at the moment. I might pass those on to the Opel and VW boys.

Those bottom ones are SSRs, not TOMS if those are the ones you are talking about?

Oh that might be sweet then. Goes for any wheels though really, if they were manufactured for Toyota or similar specifically.
And was refering to the bottom two, they both look like TOMS wheels, my ones were exactly like the 2nd to last set. Several different manufacturers seem to make wheels in that style though.

Those are from the site I posted a couple of days ago. You may want to compare estimated direct costs first - may be a bit cheaper. Besides, that has a backspace of 3" which is 60-65ish POSITIVE offset - you'd really need to look for a 4-4 1/2" backspacing and with short front dampers, you could probably get by with 5" especially with some 'stretch'! |

I was looking at some of those rims but in 15x8 4 1/2" backspacing, which I believe make it 0 offset?
