NeoFuture Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Ive decided to go for jade-r alloys 19"`s if anyone can name a better alloy for the money, same kinda style but better please do Edited May 5, 2009 by NeoFuture (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Ultralite 18" nur and save yourself £200 whilst getting better tyres. Not much of a decision IMO I bought the very same Ultralite wheels and I'm very pleased with them... Especially since I made the mistake of traveling to Birmingham and buying some wheels from Wheelmania for a previous car, which fell apart within 6 months. Why do you want 19"?

NeoFuture Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 umm dunno if you noticed they are nothing like the jades, i want some that look like the jades yours are completely nothing like em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I do like the look of the Jade wheels, but the handling issues rule out the 19 inch - as nice as they look. Supra's with 19inch wheels are an arse ache when it comes to handling, unless you like to drift it everywhere. They are not a good choice unless you are a very expereinced driver of high HP RWD car's. They are much easier to handle on a 6spd, on an auto it will be a nightmare without decent trac control. One way or another, get some proper tyres fitted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Seen these before and they caught my eye also, they look well tasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFuture Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 well its an NA so i wont really have that issue hehe, i have axis 19"`s with god knows what tyres on now, i would consider 18"`s but i like me 19"`s to be fair, as embarrising as this is, im going to fit a TT next, but to be honest i have no need i never floor the car, or corner hard, i prefer to enjoy it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFuture Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 idearly i would like something a little more smothed and less "blocky" if you know what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 umm dunno if you noticed they are nothing like the jades, i want some that look like the jades yours are completely nothing like em Ummm dunno if you noticed but they're shit quality, which was what I was trying to cast your attention towards with my post. Seriously, I've heard horror stories and I've had a bad experience myself. What more do you want me to say?! Oh, and as Homer says, 19s are a joke if you want a Supra to handle properly.

I don't see the logic there mate. Why not save your cash and spend it on something worthwhile (Outdoor jacuzzi, holiday in the far east, strippers, etc ).

Scott Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I would have went with these but i want at least 10" rears and they don't seem to come in that size. http://www.srbpower.com/images/ultralite/atec2/atec2-gunmetalic-stainless-full.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Oh, and your brakes will look piddly. That's a fair point (even though it's not performance related ), the smaller brakes will look like bottle caps behind those wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoFuture Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 brakes are on my shopping list too, but new respray then wheels then other stuff, let me get some financial stimulus back in my life before i do the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 That picture is a photoshop, thats Ibrar's old car and it never had them wheels, Rota drift and GTR's are a similar style but only in 18", far nicer wheels imo. I recently changed from heavy 19's to lightweight 18's and the improvement in the handling and general driving massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
