Ah, I thought I recognised the user name Lol.

I have been wanting to upgrade to std.TT wheels for some time, as I have a near new set of Champiro 225/55 x16" tires ready to go, PLUS a rebuilt set of TT front calipers ready to be installed.

Yes I DO have std., 15" V8 wheels and tires on at the moment, which I will be selling once I have fitted the TT wheels.

The wheels in my profile pic were put on by the car yard to give it a bit more "Bling" potential for younger buyers (Horrible uni-lug design with totally wrong offset, and 75mm center hole ).
I took em off when I got the cars original wheels & tires from the yard.

But in answer to your question Darryn, I'm prepared to pay a reasonable amount for the rims and nuts, BUT I won't be spending anything like $400.

Champero GTR's are such a great budget tyre - had a set of 235/45 ZR17's on my V8 - great wet or dry and only $180 each new.

Heh, yeah I saw the TT mags in your future upgrades and thought I'd be cheeky enough to ask, no sense bidding against you if you really want them, it'll only end up costing one of us more.

I'm just after a set of standards for a while, so I can flick the ones on there atm (Again, I think they were put on to make it look better as the expense of ride/handling, amongst a few other suspension issues but it seemed like a cheap place to start ) and when I get a set of Altezza's they were just going to sit in the shed, with one being used as a full sized spare...because a space saver on a Soarer tends to worry me if I ever have the need and it was just convenient as I'll have a vehicle over that way the weekend after the auction finishes.

I'll bow out since you really want em more than me Don, and how much were you thinking of selling the V8 wheels for??

Darryn mate,

Thanks for that, I DO appreciate it .

I suspect that Previa's have a similar, if not the same wheel .

My original UZZ30 4.0GT wheels WILL be Very well priced.

They have Firestone "Firehawk" 215/60 x 15" tires all round.
The rears are near new, and the fronts are probably (Without thinking about it too much ) about 80%.

They WILL be sold fully ballanced, with excellent condition center caps, and original wheel nuts.

If you want em, you've got FIRST option.

NOTE: I CAN provide VERY cheap freight within the North Island, and in fact WILL provide FREE freight between Wellington, New Plymouth & Auckland.......Coz I work for a transport company, and I get to call the shots ie: who gets charged for what, and who dosen't .

PM me Darryn if you wanna make an offer, I WILL look after you.

I'll bug you after the auction finishes then

Did you want one back when I'm finished with them, or do you already have or not want a full sized spare?

And tell me what you want for them, I've never been good at the whole offers thing

Don, those Previa wheels are the same as the TT wheels. Same offset, 50mm, 16"x7"size.

Thanks for that Ian,

The only problem with that, is, Previa owners tend to keep their original rims, coz they don't have that much imagination, that's WHY they bought the goddamn ugly pieces of crap in the first place!

They're at the other end of the country, and would probably cost about 2-3x the original buy price to get them up here, getting things across the straight tends to jack up the price a bit

Darry, born and bred in South Australia :-)

My wife and I spent about 3 weeks in your lovely country many years ago, starting to feel the temptation for another visit.

At the time, we hired a camper and enjoyed the experience immensely. Would be nice to hire a Soarer and use hotels/motels next time around though :-)

Either that, or we could try to organise a central meet around that time (Would make for a more impressive photo )

And would give us guys an excuse to actually organise one.

We're off to NZ in January, Peter. Of course it's the nearest bit of land to us!

You don't happen to have a relative (technician/engineer) in the Met Bureau do you? There was a Nitschke in the Bureau, even came out here when I was here too, in 1989. Prussian name, from memory, might have had different spelling.

Mike, not that I know of. My ancestors came out in 1839 as part of the first load of German settlers, no TV, so they rabbitted away and in 1974 there were over 4,000 descendants at a huge reunion I attended. So they are spread far and wide, and I only really know the immediate family.

OK new TT wheels are installed, so my old originals are for sale.

NOTE: Darryn has 1st option.

The wheels are original GT4.0 & Limited type.
15"x6.5" with perfect center caps, 20 x wheel nuts, and ballanced.
Tires are 215/60x15" Firestone Firehawk's. 2 are nearly new, 2 are 90%.

The price is $150 with free delivery to Auckland/Palmy & Wellington.

Unfortunately Darryn the cheapest I can get freight for YOU is $50, so IF ya want em it'll be $200 all up.

yeah there was a good set a while ago sold for $63.. I think the ones you have are in better condition. They are nice looking mags.

They were the ones Don grabbed probably, 63 for the rims, and an extra 20 for the nuts.

At least they went to a good home, as opposed to being skid tyres as advertised

Mike, I hate to tell you this, BUT this IS the $63 set from Trade Me .

The guy had the original wheel nuts, which was an additional $20.
3 of the wheels are perfect, and one had a minor scrape on two of the spokes, which I touched up with silver spray-paint, then a bit of clear-kote on top.

Standard TT wheels are 16"x7" 50 offset.

Yeah, cool eh!.

I reckon the factory TT wheels ARE one of the nicest wheels you can put on a Soarer, unless you want "Bling".

Now all I gotta do is fit the TT calipers (When I can be arsed ).

I was prepared to pay UP to $300 for a mint set, with nuts (Coz the nuts ain't cheap from Toyota).

If you check some of the profiles, there's a coupla Gold Soarers with TT wheels, and they look VERY sharp

mmm the soarer does look nice in gold, especially with the TT wheels... Its one of the rarest colours, theres hardly any of them! Most i see are green, silver or white.. ive seen one other gold one in Auckland!

Yeah, I'm hoping to end up with Tezza rims in due course.......unless I find something better in between times (And I'm a chronic impulse buyer)

And the guy's quoted $35 to ship the rims to Vegas, I assume Auckland wouldn't be much more

Hey Mike,
If ya like I'll get you an El Cheapo freight price for those TT/Previa alloys from ChCh, that way you'll be able to bid knowing what the freight cost is.
Our company gets 30% discount from TNL Freighting in the South Island, and I can do the Wellington to Auckland bit through our company for FREE

It was on there when I got it....and is held on with what appears to be bog and gravity. And its not as bad as the stone chips on the bonnet

I didn't like it at first, and was planning on swapping it for a standard spoiler.....but its kinda grown on me but at the moment its doing a great job of filling the boot with water.

It's on the "To Do" list Although I spose I could fit a nice T wing just for you Hanré


And they are quite nice to drive on Don, although I have to treat my right foot with a bit more respect

Hey Don,

Thanks man but I'm not getting that bumper from Trent anymore. Before the end of the year the Soarer will be coming of the road for a wee while whilst upgrades are done to it then I'm either getting my bumper repaired and resprayed or I'm going to N1 Kits to get a Vertex or Bomex front bumper as they have pretty reasonable prices for those.

Hopefully she'll be ready by February trackday so I can go and show Looonie what a real man's machine is made off!!!

How much was Trent after for the bumper anyways?

Darryn the MK3 will come next year...I have a few bits and pieces still to be done on the Soarer before my V8 Supra project begins!!

Last time I spoke to Trent he wanted in the vacinity of 700$ might be a bit more but it was definately below 800$. That included the full front bumper and lip, both headlights, high beams and bottom spotties.

Yeah, sounds like he's after $750 for the above less headlights.

And V8 Supra?? What about the poor little MR2?? Will it ever get any love??
