UK SUPRA- ALLOY UPGRADE SUGGESTIONS/ poss black 19" deep dish with chrome rim

[Marcus GTE]

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

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).

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

Welcome

 

The look of the stock wheels on mine has grown on me but I'd like some new ones when the weather improves.

[Marcus GTE]

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
