Apparently yes..

John, Would you be doing a wheel and tyre package? And what price would we be looking at in total fitted? (I would like a decent road trye as part of a package - not into tracking) Dave

[P40L VX]

We'll be able to supply them in 16" fronts and 17" (although why you'd want 17" is beyond me as the best size for the car is 16"). This means you can run sticky track rubber or decent Toyo T1-R tyres.

so best setup is 16" fronts and 17" rears?

That is correct.....

[Thorney]

Yep, we'll do complete wheel and tyre packages and fit them for free. Choice (assuming 16/17 combo) will be Toyo T1-R's for road or Yokohama A048's (LTS or non LTS makes no diff) or Toyo R888 for road/track. I'll work out some combo prices now but they'll just be wheels plus tyres plus fitting (tyres).

We need pics of these wheels on a VX! I think I want black ones on my silver car

Thanks I'll await the package price....they certainly look The money is burning a hole in my pocket

Any news on turbo lowering springs?

Dave

[Thorney]

Anyone good at PS? First lowering spring kits for the VX and VXT are due here next week. Wheel tyre price you're looking at adding £400 for Toyo T1 R's (fully fitted) and £550 for R888's.

I thought 888's wear cheaper than 048's? :-/

They are only £550 on the TMS website

[Smiler]

full set of 048 are about £570.. do 888's last longer maybe?

[RichH]

Sorry, I meant that the R888's are £550 on the TMS website so even allowing £50 for fitting (which seems strange as it says in JT's above post that this would be free), I don't see where the "deal" is here. John, are we missing something? Smiler, acording to the TMS website yes the R888's do last a touch longer.

[Thorney]

Sorry my fault. I've changed it. - £550 fitted.

[craglett]

what are the tyre profiles and ratings for the r888's, t1r's and the a048's for these wheels?

[hethelred]

I like the 5 spoke option in black so i guess i'll be talking to you about a wheels tyres combo on Friday when up for the VXR turbo fitting - you just keep putting temptation in my way LOL

[Smiler]

fr 195 50 16 r 225 45 17 same as vxr.. dunno about ratings..

[craglett]

so these t1r's would fit the front? clicky
and these t1r's would fit the rear? clicky

and these 888's for front? clicky
and these 888's for rear? clicky

Doesn't seem a bad price if they do, when compared to the bridgestones fitted to my standard wheels. £306 delivered including vat for the t1r's and £471 for the 888's.

[Smiler]

[Tony_M]

(cough) Center Caps (cough) Any chance of the TMS one's fitting the OZ wheels ???

Yeah, £300 is about the going rate for T1Rs. I think after shopping around some of my local fitters, I paid about £290 for a full set.
