alex2jz Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Well, after 6 weeks of waiting the special order Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.3 wheels have arrived. And i must i say i'm pretty happy with how they've changed the look of the car. They are 8.5J fronts and 10J rears. Took a few not so good snaps of the car with them fitted. Better pics to come.

imi Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 what profile tyres are you running front and rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2jz Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) Fronts are 245/40/18 and rears 275/35/18. Coming from 17' wheels all i can say is i can't feel any difference in ride comfort at all! More than that it seems i've finally fixed my 60mph steering wheel juddering issue Edited November 21, 2010 by alex2jz (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 those are the tyre profiles that I am running at the moment, thinking of going for 295s for the rear....(due to traction issues in 2 & 3) - plus think it will fill the arches better.

You might need to roll the fenders if you go 295. I didn't really needed 275's on the rear (considering the car is NA), it was strictly for looks.

j_jza80 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I think that looks great much nicer than all the Wheelmania jade shite and Ebay special, split rim wannabes you see on so many Supras Also, they're made here in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex2jz Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 I didn't need a fender roll because of the 45 mm offset. Cheers j_jza80 ! Yes they seem really quality stuff that don't break your wallet either. Pretty light too. Can't feel any difference in performance even though they are bigger and wider than the old ones, as well as the tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 New wheels look smart mate, would've chosen different tyres though. I'd also swap the rear wheels around as they look like they're on the wrong sides as far as the tyre V pattern is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 They look good. Drop the supsension, and they will even look better. I'm a fan of black rims on a red Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex2jz Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 What plans have you got for your Supra Alex? I really don't know what the next year has installed for me mate. It's going either a NA-TT swap or a K-Sport brake conversion, exhaust replacement, suspension refresh job. Lately i'm thinking about the second option. My J-Spec brakes don't behave very well, lower suspension arms are a bit rusty but don't really influence the handling\ride which is very good at the moment and top of that my NA engine runs very well, even though the car is a little bit slow for my taste. Wish i could do both but i'll have to make a pick sooner or later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about to buy some CW suspension, then I think it's big brakes and then a VVTi 1JZ conversion for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about to buy some CW suspension, then I think it's big brakes and then a VVTi 1JZ conversion for me. I think this is the best and most logical route to take. Brakes and suspension then engine conversion. Even though the prospect of more power and a turbo engine is very tempting i must say I'm also thinking of getting a 2JZ-GTE engine and slowly rebuild it with OEM parts all next year. I've said it, i need to drive a Twin Turbo Supra until 2012 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
