Gen6GT Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yeah, I know I know, it's all been discussed before. The thing is, driving home on Saturday night late I hit a large brick some tosser had chucked in the road, which broke one of my Lenso Reizen wheels and ruined a tyre... I need my car and I need to replace the wheels before the weekend as my Celica is my only transport (other than my bike and that's in for rebuilding). So I've found a rather tasty set of Dotz GTR 18" wheels with tyres for a bargain price of £625 here http://www.madmotors.co.uk/special-dotz-gtr-silver-18-alloy-wheels-and-tyres.html In previous discussions the comment has been 18" looks good but handles like shit, but talking to Julian (Spree of Spree LED fame) he has 18" wheels on his GT4 and reckons they're fine, so I'm seriously considering getting some of thes 18" jobbies. Any/all opinions welcome! Also, what size tyres are going to be best? The seller offers 215/35/18 tyres with additional upgrades to 225/40/18 tyres for £15 and to 235/40/18 tyres for £25. As I said, comments welcomed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kishan38 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Good choice. I was after them but I think they're only available in 18s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorjack Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 No problems with 18x7.5 on mine, still handles fine. I have 225/40/18 KU31s which are pretty good, prior to that I had FK452s in the same size which I also rate well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen6GT Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Damn! They don't do them with the right offset, just 32 which would probably stick-out too far. How about Gunmetal with a silver car? Any comments welcome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-nbr Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Those would look awesome! I keep trying to find a cheap set of them for mine, love those wheels so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjc68 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I've got mine on 225/40 R18 and they handle really well. They used to belong to Mani and he had problems with tracking with his lowered suspension. Had to use camber bolts to cope with it. I haven't had mine lowered and they've been fine.

hyper-wrap Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Also got 18s on mine and they handle just fine, go for it. Also, gunmetal on silver looks simply fucking awesome, fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
