I've just had a look on fleaby pre-owned x1 going for £500-600 but you have to ask yourself what condition are they? how many miles have they done? Etc yours have done 200miles from new so basically new? How much to buy new from Toyota? Then price accordingly I hope that helps glwts

 

Prices seem all over the place now cars are older etc . A lot of salvage / breakers are selling for unrealistic money and they need refurb on top of, no thanks . No tyres tops and original / mint £2250 if you find a buyer . Lowest £2000. People are becoming penny pinchy . Seen a few sets sell nearly new with Michelin tyres for £2200 after advertising at £2700 . Think the grand a wheel days have gone . Good luck 👍

 

I was contemplating getting a set so I can put some winter tyres on them, I daily mine.
2000 for wheels, 400 for sensors, tyres and fitting your looking at 3k total.

Im still on the fence as that’s a decent wedge, I may just get the tyres changed every year.

🤷🏼

 

Got a set on here , convenience set , Twelve hundred quid , bare wheels . Thought they might have gone by now . Obviously every one wants the circuit ones or Ozzies but I would like to think whoever bought them would probably get there money back with them being rare and OEM . Will keep them if they don’t draw asking price .

 

I too may leave mine in the loft, not giving them away as I don't need the money that badly.

 

I did try some Speedline Turini’s last year but the increase in rotational mass was quite noticeable for me, I swapped back to the BBS within a few days.
If I were to buy another set of wheels they would need to weigh the same as the BBS or lighter.

 

Yes , everyone to there own , I respect that but I need to be honest , if Toyota state Standard / convenience and circuit all have same performance figures 0 to 100 etc then I struggle to understand how a circuit car is quicker or more agile with any real world noticeable difference. Maybe 100th of a second here and there . An average person in passenger seat is probably 70kg and my car drives , goes and corners the same as on my Tod without any noticeable difference , with 3 or 4 people plus the Shetland pony 😂 then yes it does feel different . Each corner on standard wheels is 2kg heavier, which equates to 8 kg ? Which is 8 times lighter than a person at 70kg , on that I really struggle to actually notice the difference. Maybe the speedlines are 13/14 kg ? Same as the Rally style OZZIES . Driven circuit packs and I personally couldn’t tell the difference with anything. Not on B roads anyway . Just thought I would share some light hearted thoughts.👍

 

2 kilos a corner is night and day, its NOT the weight of the wheels in your hands or as a percentage of the whole cars weight..its the ROTATIONAL MASS !! lighter wheels/tyre package speeds up and decelerates quicker than heavy old wheels. Its also about UNSPRUNG WEIGHT and effect on springs and dampers, fuel economy, acceleration, all affected. Then theres gyro effect, ever had a gyroscope toy? or spun a bikes wheel in your hands holding the axle and tried to move it around? A lighter wheel has less gyro than a wheel with more mass so lighter wheels turn and change direction easier ! Have a google and get some headucation !

 

Fair comment and no offence taken, but with the Speedline’s I could feel the difference within the first 500 mtrs and it drove like dog sh!t in comparison.

All subjective and a matter of opinion.

I haven’t driven a car with the convenience pack wheels so I couldn’t give you an honest opinion on them.

What I will say is that heavier wheels will almost always be a compromise.

As always, just in my humble opinion.

 

There is one solution ? Chip your car to 450 break and that should clear the dog Sh1T off the wheels . 😂

 

That’s a plan 😂.

It wasn’t a massive difference but I noticed it immediately and it definitely felt less nimble / reactive to drive.

I love how the car drives so to take some of that feel away was just a backward step for me.

 

I've bought 2 sets now for around 1400 each, both new and one with sensors.

Sensors are 135 new for a genuine set now.

I thought I would be ok with the Turini’s as I’ve had many sets over the years on 3-4 Subaru’s. But thinking about it they were probably lighter than the OE wheels at that time.

Im guessing the 18 x 8 Turini’s are about 10 - 11 kg, not bad for a durable rally wheel but quite a lot heavier than our BBS offering.

 

Just adding this to the conversation my weds tc105x alloys are lighter then oem

 

It’s about time we had a dedicated thread.
“OEM wheel weight or below”

I think the Team Dynamics LT 18x8 are close.

I believe the BBS is between 8.2 - 8.4 kg, not completely sure though.

🤷🏼

 

I paid £1400 for a set that I use as winters, no tyres or TPMS. I’m always on the lookout for another set to have as spares, but wouldn’t pay more than £1200 these days. There are loads of sets for sale for £2000-£3000 and individual ones for £500-£600, but pretty much every set/rim I can see have been for sale forever, asking prices and what they’re actually worth are very different things.

People asking mental money always quote new dealer prices, but I don’t think it’s that relevant as I don’t know anyone who’s ever paid full dealer prices. My sensible car is an X5, I bought an immaculate set of OEM 22”s with very good tyres for £1500, brand new from a dealer they’d have been over £4500, who’d actually pay that?

 

There’s a set on the bay for nearly 4K, I think they may be there for a while.

Must be the extra stickers.

🤷🏼

 

Definitely the stickers 🤣🤣

 

No an actual GRMN from Japan . My pal enquired about them . Originally they were advertised at 2200, now they have gone up to that high figure ?

 

Looking at the pictures on the listing they’re stamped the same as ours 18 x 8 ET45.

 

Car wow tested the GRMN against all the other GR’s on you tube . Fella stated wider wheels on MN but he must have meant rubber . Not rims . Not sure ! They might be 8.5 or 9’s . If they are car will be slower , like Mr Flares Einstein theory stuff 😂

 

Yes , they are . So not sure who is wrong or who is right . Car wow with meaning wider rubber or if there is actually a factory upgrade in Japan for wider rims . ?

 

GRMN is a different wheel.
