Blue Loop Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 What about OZ Polaris, they look awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_slipp Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 16s are a nightmare cos there's such a lack out there. take ur time til u find one u really like. as for best deal... i rang some companies such as wheelworx, wheelbase etc etc to get the best package price. then i rang up the importer/supplier of the wheels to find my local stockists and made them price match. then u dont get the risk of mail order and u get the wheels fitted for you!

matt_arosa16v Posted November 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Thanks for your replies. Looking like either the Lenso or OZ's then. Prices at Wheel Workx for a wheel and tyre package are around £560 (Lenso) and £615 (OZ). I could do with some better pics of the Lenso to see how deep they are.

matt_arosa16v Posted November 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Could I...As for the OZ Polaris they are nice but not that many places sell them anymore.Oh and Altern8 - the best of a bad bunch - cheeky begger style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Suggest some others then!

Ryn Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 What is the correct size and offset for a 16 incher to fit onto the loop? What tyres are you guys running on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_arosa16v Posted November 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Another possibility are Kosei Sniper's:http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/news/publi...rticle_35.shtmlOn a Yaris but you can see them quite well.Now it is basically out of them and the OZ Hydra's... two different styles...hard to decide!

matt_arosa16v Posted November 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Nice wheels but not really a deep dish fan (well not as deep as them). I will be running 195/45/16's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryn Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Why don't you have a look at these, they make the lightest wheels on the market:http://rayswheels.co.jp/`cgi-bin`/....cgi?maker=VOLKSome of them are a bargain at only 49,000 yen a corner! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryn Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 BTW that's £1000 all in, plus your rubber style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
