Canadam - you got some C7R's then buddy??? What size?

I have a second set which are really rough and are missing 50% of the bolts but at least I will have a full set still if i ever damage one. I only paid $100 for the rough set so was quite lucky!!!

I've been looking for a set of wheels for a long time, originally C7Rs were the only wheel I'd consider, but it ended up that they were getting hard to find (unless I wanted to pay an arm and a leg to buy a set out of Japan). I had settled on some other styles, but then it came up that a guy who was fairly local was going to sell a set that he got on a car that was imported from Japan. He wrecked the car before ever being able to put new wheels on it, so I kept looking. I came across these about a week ago and decided that they should be mine

Front: 16x8 +38
Rear: 16x9 +36

They'll be about $1000 once I pay brokerage fees and such.

Do you have pics of your car with them on? Mine just showed up today

I'm going to take them apart and have the centres powdercoated.

Zircon · 09-12-2008, 05:13 PM

Nice one guys - welcome to the C7R club

One day i will be lucky enough to find the 17" magnesium versions.

Mag...whhhhaaaa....?

Tell me more!

I'm just about to get mine refinished, stuck on doing them the same colour as original, a bright silver, or a gunmetal. Any suggestions? The car is a black stock body, 1995-1997 look- I might paint it Lexus Graphite Metallic, that's undecided.

Zircon · 09-14-2008, 01:54 PM

In a nutshell - bigger than ours, polished spokes, deeper lips and lighter than air

They ARE my destiny!

As for your refurb - I was going to go for a silvery champagne gold (silver with a bit of gold) but I bottled it.

I reckon graphite would look very cool.

Unreal!
What widths and offsets are your 16s and what tire sizes are you running? I can't seem to find the specs anywhere now.

Zircon · 09-15-2008, 05:27 AM

Im pretty sure they are:

Front offset 33
Rear offset 30

Rim widths are 7" front, 8" rear.

Will double check when I get back from holiday for you.

Don't Worry, It's Just Me · 09-15-2008, 08:30 AM

They may not be the C7R's but I'm getting these TOM's Rims.
