Thanks for the info. I debate myself over whether to buy an old TR or get a 355. I love them both. I saw these wheels and impulse buying took over. Sometimes I buy things before I have the final piece. I bought tires and wheels for a Jeep I didn't have so that assisted me in making the decision.... |

The post TR-era wheels tend to have a bit larger "+" offsets so you might need spacers, adapter, and/or longer lug bolts. This post lists the stock TR wheel offsets:

for comparison (if the seller can give similar data). I believe the brake clearance will be no problem going from the stock 16" TR wheels to these 18" wheels. |

Yeah that was my question. I don't have a TR yet and not sure on brake specifics. Still learning..... |

it states: "Rims will ONLY fit a 355 or 348.*will not fit cars with brembo or challenge brake systems*".

They look great, except they are chrome!
The price is OK, but I am sure any SpeedLine dealer can match that price for a brand new set. They dont look like any special model, just standard SpeedLines. I'd say brand new the wheels should be about $3K (not chrome) and tires about $1K.

these are for sale on ebay. mentions challenge and brembo brakes. Not sure on what a TR has and if these will fit. Also, what about year of TR 5 lug vs the older knockoff types?
$4k is not a bad price. |
