Stock alloy wheels

[azndragon168]

Hi Everyone,

I've been floating around these forums but never have actually posted a topic before. I've got an 05 conquest sedan and was wondering if toyota sells just one of the stock alloy wheels...one of mine got scratched against a kerb and if so whats the cheapest price you guys know of?

and also just one more quick question, My tyres are the stock dunlop ones and at take off, i cant seem to take off a lil bit faster without the tyres slipping. should I get new rubber or is the fix more deeper than replacing the rubber?

Thanks for your help everyone.

Welcome Steve,

i had a stock conquest once...now she's a half way house between sportivo and mystery rolla :) you could get more traction through getting springs or coilover set - depending on ur budget. The Dunlop tires are fine for grip, it's more of that 'floating' sensation you want to get rid of, because it's not getting u from a to b any faster. Easy solution: Lovells/king/whiteline sport lows (35-40mm drop) or super lows go arounds $350 upwards including installation B) ...but then again fatter rubber will give you more traction as well - but i think the 'floaty' feeling will still be there... Danz, Bigbum...1zzfe ...anyone?

also, try the stickyied topics above the forum threads - there are links to suspension/rims/exhaust related mods and fixes there :D

Cheers

Hey thanks for the quick reply Jules. I guess i wont be modding the 'rolla until my warranty expires in oct 08 <_< hehe i guess i'll just have to live with it. But what i'm really after is a spare replacement alloy wheel as I've scratched one of mine. Any clues on where to get it the cheapest?

Thanks,

Steve

there are plenty of places that do wheel restoration , which will cost you a fraction of the new wheel price.

I'm sure the Brisbane boys will tell you where to go :)

If it's only scratched, there are many places around that will repair it for around $50.

If it's chipped or cracked that's a different story

Hi neK,

Thats a good question. I'll have a look at when it was built..lol sorry it was built Aug 05, delivered Oct 05. silly me ^^"

Do you know why they came out with a 93kw one? how does it stack up against the 100kw one?

the 93kw engined corolla has an electronic throttle body, the 100kw one still uses a throttle cable system. It is the easiest way to tell ;)

sorry, but does that mean that the 93Kw is better?

according to ONE member of this forum, yes

since when does something being electronic make in better... some people are deluded by technology

Thanks very much

I just called up Motorama and they quoted me $731 for one stock alloy wheel. OMFG!!! Rip off! and $283 for a replacement key!
