Lude Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) since i ever saw my car online, i knew it needed wheels! iv managed to narrow the choice down to Rota GTRs. 9J on the front, 9.5J on the rear, in 17" offset 35 front, 30 rear. that was hard enough! now i dont know to go for white, or bronze? heres some pics of the white: http://www.driftworks.com/shop/p768/Rota-GTR-Wheels-White-Including-new-19%22-version!-Set-of-4/product_info.html http://www.driftworks.com/catalog/images/large/s13gtrwhite2.jpg and the bronze: going on a white Supra http://cdn.images.pistonheads.com/aimg/1438/1438341-2.jpg Edited May 30, 2010 by Lude (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Bronze looks pants against white IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 thanks gona go with the majority vote on here think, white on white just looks so fresh and clean. the bronze are nice, but im not sure? they do seem to look ok on the Evo above?

Kirk Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 But the evo body styling is much more aggresive to the supra's so it pulls it off nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I think Rota Grid Drifts are better looking. Gunmetal or bronze for the colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 I think Rota Grid Drifts are better looking. Gunmetal or bronze for the colour yea similar style, just 6 spoke instead of 5 would you say bronze on white car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramkivcork Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I'd go with the bronze for the simple fact I hate seeing white cars with white wheels that are a different shade of white to the cars paint. Paul Whiffin has got some new styles and sizes of Rota wheels in recently, have you seen those ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Yeah deffo bronze or gunmetal, white wheels dont suit the Supra IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 yea ive seen them, im after something nice, simple and clean, with dishy spokes, nothing flat or multispoke. the Grids and GTRs seem to be the ones, just the colour selection now. bronze is a nice colour, bit different isnt it. but i do like the white fresh look also?

supramkivcork Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 What about the Gtr-D's ? They're a lovely wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 What about the Gtr-D's ? They're a lovely wheel. yea all the GTRs with 9J and above have the dish look.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramkivcork Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Ya I was just thinking with the polished lip they might be worth considering ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I like the GTR's but everyone has them which puts me off, be different, the rota torque are nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 I like the GTR's but everyone has them which puts me off, be different, the rota torque are nice. yea was deciding on those aswel, but thaught the GTRs are a bit more aggressive & dished, the torques are nice wheels, but then they are nearly down the route of multispokes.... heres a good pic, broze torques on a white car... http://www.wheeldude.com/wdg/ul/index.php/800/800/gallery/5117_2.jpg this is what i mean descisions descisions! lol so were saying bronze then dudes yea?

supramkivcork Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 The one thing about the Gtr's is I always think of them as more of a Nissan wheel due to the similarity with the Nismo lmgt4 http://www.z1auto.com/images/nismolmgt4.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 yea they are a rip off of them lol but then again the Bee*R ones are also the same, http://www.rhdjapan.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/53915/Image/Normal/Image14.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hi, have you seen Team Dynamics 'Jade R's? 19" on ebay for 700 plus tyres for a set. Not sure o quality but look the dogs in silver or gunmetal. Have 5 spokes and dished spoke as you preferred. Might get some myself sometime........meanwhile here are some white ones in 18" though you can get 19 and 20's http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-WHT-JADE-R-ALLOY-WHEELS-TOYOTA-SUPRA-TYRES-/110539158300?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item19bca5b31c Included pic of Supra with them on too...

Morpheus Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Oh yeah, look great in white too of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 BTW, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the stock's you have now (being wht/wht) and many people prefer the stock look anyway, as I've discovered! Keep them in the garage anyway incase the next owner wants them back on. Could be key to selling it for some. I think they look great as they are, fwiw!

Lude Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 thanks mate, ye the stock ones are a good size (9.5J wide) they are in good nic also, and as they are white thats made me think of white again. they will be up for sale soon as get the new ones tho, as they are the UK larger size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Bronze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinus Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I would take bronze if it's 18" or 19",, 17" white would be better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
