Calibre Suzuka 15" Wheels

[oreA]

Hey everyone!

I'm after a set of 15" alloys for track use (2 or 3 or 4 times a year), I will retain my standard 16" 172 alloys for occasional daily use.
Demon Tweeks have a set these for £277, Calibre Suzuka Alloy Wheels 4x100, ET38, centre bore 73.1 (spigots needed).

Anyone have an views/experience/comments to make (whether it's about these specific wheels or the brand)? They kinda look OK....:grimacing:?

Many thanks!
(As always, I'm trying to be frugal ).

They are 15"x7" btw :up:

They look OK to me and the price is proper Jewish which makes them perfect for track wheels. Any idea on weight?

 

[RichValver]

I like those, bargain price!

 

[oreA]

I've searched t'internet, but not found a weight yet. Maybe I'll contact Calibre.....

 

[MicKPM]

Might have a set myself at that price!

 

[oreA]

Oi! Leave some stock for me! :smile:

I've emailed Calibre for weight information :up:

 

[MicKPM]

Too late now, i've purchased all 6 sets from stock and they're now £500 a set lol

Honestly though, they'e worth a punt at that price point.

My 172 has standard 16" alloys with ET48; I assume there won't be any issues with the offset of ET38, and in fact will give me a slightly wider track and better look? (IIRC ET38 is the offset of standard 16" 172 Cup alloys)

38 will make it stick out more. They look okay to be fair, wouldn't say bargain though

Any ideas where I can get a bargain?

 

[imprezaworks]

Sadly I am in the same boat so no, lol.

[imprezaworks]

Worth an ask to see if they will offer any discount for a few sets?

 

[oreA]

I'll happily ask (when I've decided I definitely want a set) :up:.

I asked team dynamics if they would be interested in a buy, nope. But 330 delivered, correct bore and a choice of colours was pretty good. I found the same at top gear at 285 but was an IT mistake

Yes, I followed the Top Gear wheel-gate thread closely, it was a bitter disappointment .

Happened a bit ago too. I was going to get new and new tyres but it works out to be over 500. Will hang fire for sone good second hand ones with tyres. They do come up like buses so will keep an eye out.

 

[R3k1355]

Whats wrong with a second hand set of standard rims for track work?

 

[imprezaworks]

Nothing

 

[oreA]

Standard rims are 16" & tyres are more expensive.

Iv been thinking about these wheels for a couple of months now after seeing them on a track clio

How did they look, any good?

I was thinking of asking if some clever person on the forum could photoshop them onto my car, but that always end in carnage (funny carnage though :smile.

Found these pics that may be helpful. Interestingly, according to the images on Tweeks website, they are stamped 'Rays Gram Lights' which are decent wheels (I believe).

 

[imprezaworks]

Look good imo. And yeah I spotted the rays part

 

[oreA]

I know I'm grasping at straws here with regards their weight, but some guy on the Briskoda forums has them and posted this recently.....

"Bought these as Calibre Suzuka, stamped Rays Gram Lights........Replaced my TD Pro Race 3 which are same weight as Spiders, these are 300g lighter...."

 

[imprezaworks]

But as tough as dearer ones?

 

[imprezaworks]

Will see what they look like on my car

@mintno1 is good at shopping wheels

I'm an ignoramus, how would I know? :laughing:

 

[imprezaworks]

Guess just by people's experience of them really

 

[pastymaster]

Are the not stamped 'Ravs' and 'Oram Lights' :smile:

It's certainly a good effort though! haha

I've been tempted by a set myself as they're dirt cheap really and look pretty decent. I do have concerns over how strong they'd be though!

 

[imprezaworks]

Ha ha good spot

Eye test incoming
