Marcus GTE Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hi there, first post on the forum, been a mk3 driver/owner from 2003 and after a long search found my uk 95 TT silver mk4, lovely condition, 88k, black leather, auto. Love it. It loves petrol [sHOCK][/sHOCK] [GRIN][/GRIN] Anyway, it currently has the stock 17" alloys on it. I was happy to have them as I think they can look better than some alternatives. I'm starting to think however that come the summer I would like an upgrade. I'm looking for a set of 19" or 18" 5 spoke black alloys with a deep dish chrome lip. They would have to fit over Uk brakes or if nice enough I would look into spacers. Anybody got any suggestions? I think they would look gd on a silver supra. Cheers for Reading Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDriver Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Take a look in my garage for some wide wheels, 19" 315mm tire. You can take off the spokes and paint them black, no problem. These wheels are Braids (label also has Folger Design on it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Welcome to the club Marcus and congratulations on the new car I'm starting to think however that come the summer I would like an upgrade. 'Upgrade' how just in looks? The bigger the diameter you go the more it will effect the handling/ride quality, 17" & 18" are probably the most common size fitted for this reason. Have a look through the Club Garage for inspiration. Also here are some links to some Japanese wheel manufacturers http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/ Weds Wheels Rays Wheels (Volk, Gram Lights, G-Game, etc.) Trafficstar Wheels Advan Wheels SSR Wheels Enkei Wheels Work Wheels 5Zigen OZ Wheels Do Luck Double Six Wheels Blitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Welcome The look of the stock wheels on mine has grown on me but I'd like some new ones when the weather improves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Josh- I like te stock wheels too mate. It took me ages to find a stock Uk supra I wanted. But think I'd like a nice new set of wheels. Nix- interesting point. I don't have a body kit so 19" might look too big. It had bigger alloys on it when it was advertised but I didn't like them so had the stock ones put on. I think they were 18" but can't be sure as it was from a pic. I think this might have something to do with the fact the speedo reads a few mph more than the sat nav. Like it was re-calibrated for bigger wheels and not changed back. Previous owner was a lexis technician. Might be just me. Might be better with 18"- thanks- cheaper too marc_p- nice wheels. I'm watching a very simular set on eBay MANIARACING MONACO ALLOYS Cheers for the other suggestions. Work tomorrow will be productive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
