Sharpe Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Hi guys. Im new to owning a Supra but not so new to the actual forum, anyway im looking to buy a set of wheels and im not really sure where to look or particular brands that are more suited to big Jap cars. I have around £1k to spend but can go higher if its really needed. I'd like 19" wheels with a fairly big dish and the usual wider rears. Is this budget realistic? and can anybody point me in the right direction? Cheers Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 £1k with tyres? Possible defs, theres sometimes a nice few on the for sale section here, but if you're after new ones any will do the job just make sure they clear your brakes etc etc. Ultralite Evolve's are rather tasty for a 19" deep dish wheel, was going to go for them but then got overfenders so needed wider wheels!

Nic Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 With your budget I would buy quality branded wheels 2nd hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Hi, it depends entirely on your taste, try newera parts for top quality Volks and the like, bear in mind tour budget may suffer there. Also try the traders in the traders section here, they are brilliant and will get you the fight offset etc. I would have a look at other peoples cars in the gallery and see what you like and go from there, good luck and post picks once you know what your getting Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpe Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 With tyres ideally yes, but im not really sure what sizes I can actually fit, as I might also fit over fenders in the very near future.. modding a Supra is not as easy as it looks..

aman00123 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 If you're getting overfenders wait and get wheels to fit them instead of buying now then spacering them later. If you search you'll find a huge number of threads talking about wheel sizes and offsets. Can get confusing but best thing to do is find a size that fits and then use a wheel offset calculator (google it) and but new sizes in to see if they fit - remember to check inner clearance too for your brakes. OR ask the traders on here and they will source a set the right size for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate at ade design is very very helpful. He knows wheels like the back of his hand as hes been selling them for years Number is: 01234 354070 You wanna speak to adrian I think im going to struggle to find either the design in the right size or the right size wheels in the design i like:search: Rolling on space savers till thats day - dont worry im not actually driving the car just yet..

aman00123 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yes with overfenders arches will need rolling or cutting to get bigger wheels in, not the easiest job and not everyone's cup of tea but there you go, getting 18x12 rears and 18x9.5 fronts with 60mm overfenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
