opinions on wheels please..

[samm]

My tt auto is totally stock as the day it left the factory, it's painted no7 grey with gold badges and gold wheels! I'm not too keen on the gold wheels and was thinking of getting them refurbed and powder coated graphite grey,would it be a mistake changing the colour of the wheels,should I keep it original?

[bayside_supra]

Post some pics mate. I can't see a colour change on the wheels affecting its desirability though

I thought I was one of the only ones with a bone stock TT :O. Currently resisting the urge to go BPU!

 

As for the wheels, as above, just a colour change won't affect it especially if you're not keen on the colour. Pics?

[samm]

OK will post pics up over the next couple of days,all opinions/comments appreciated good or bad..

I have 2 UK 6 speed completely stock cars too, one black and a red one. I feel they are more unique and desirable as completely stock just they way Mr T intended

I might be wrong but I've certainly never heard of a Supra leaving the factory with gold wheels

Stock 16's or 17's ?

 

I'd get them properly refurbed by someone like Ibrar at Speedwells, should only cost approx £40 a wheel, i'd get them

done in the stock silver though

I think the days of £40 a wheel have gone, everyone around here is £60 a wheel these days for a simple colour application. I had mine done shadow chrome silver on black and they were £70 a wheel 2 years ago.

I had a my 18" Racing Dynamics done in Redditch for £30 each, April/May last year

What budget

[samm]

It depends, if I see something I like and I can move them on once I'm finished with them then I'll go for them, what you got? they have to clear uk brakes though..

You need to speak to Ibrar, i just had a nice chat with him and he's charging £45 for a 1 piece 18" wheel in stock silver

[samm]

These are the wheels that were on the car when I got it pretty sure thier stock unless someone can tell me otherwise,they have like a black tint to them but not really to my liking..

[Style]

They are stock wheels by the look but the center caps aren't. I don't think the colour is either

[Dnk]

Centre caps are OE, there's two types

[Nic]

They are facelift centre caps.

[Style]

I stand corrected

[bayside_supra]

I quite like them [emoji6]

 

 

 

[j_jza80]

I stand corrected

Or gold badges

Or gold badges

 

That's interesting,did they do any special editions?

The only special edition supra made was the 15th Anniversary models, which were US market only. The only difference with other cars were a few '15th anniversary' plaques on the car, and I think it came with a special watch.

 

You could also potentially count:

 

- the last year of model production US spec N.A. Supras, which are rare, and the only na Supras fitted with vvti engines.

 

- jspec facelift aerotop. Very rare, think I've only ever seen 3 or 4. Only available as N.A., and presumably 96 model year only.

 

Otherwise, the only exclusive Supras are the rare colours.

Well mines special to me:)
