Mad Matt Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Help, I'm looking for some advice on what wheels to put on my 94 N/A Manual Supra. I know the back wheels are supposed to be wider, but i'm struggling with where to look. I've only just bought the car, and it's already lowered by 35 mm, and has a rather lovely rolled lip stainless exhaust, but as it's sat on standard 16"s, i'm desperate for some 18"s for it. Preferably with a dish on them too to give it that agressive look. I'm a bit short on funds at present, so would like to spend as little as poss, (secondhand maybe). Top benchmark is about £800 with tyres if poss. Any advice on the best places to look would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Matt:gallery: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cheapest 18's with tyres are £1200, considering a decent set of 18" TYRES are £650. Please don't get cheap tyres... Best Regards, Gaz.

mawby Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Originally posted by Gaz Walker Please don't get cheap tyres... Is very good advice if you want to keep you pride and joy in one piece. My tyres alone were nearly £800 but considering some of the potentially very messy situations they've got me out of I'd never go for anything cheaper.

Scooter Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Just to add to this, if you're on a budget get good tyres but sticking to the lower width combo's 225/245 or 235/255's will help keep the cost down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lust2luv Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 If you get a nice set of 17"s your handling will be better, they'll still look faaaaar better than stock 16"s, and tyre prices will be far more affordable (c. £400 for a set of top-of-the-tree Eagle F1s). That's what I'd do with your budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Matt Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 Ok Guys, Looks like i'm way off with my price range. I was hoping to get hold of a set of 2nd hand wheels, but i can pay up to 1400 for a new set. Don't want cheap tyres either cos i owned a 270 bhp Nissan 200sx before i got my Supey, and it came with budget tyres on it, (very scarey!). Upgraded them to a set of Continental's asap, and all was good, and it meant i could stay in a straight line for longer than 20 seconds!! I know how important it is to have decent tyres on a rear wheel drive monster needless to say. How about some suggestions on what wheels look best if i want a deep dish set??

Mad Matt Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 Cheers guys, Now my car looks really crap in comparison after looking at all those lovely wheels. The Racing Hart wheels look absolutely gorgeous! Think there's a bit of a following for them by the sounds of it! Have emailed Neilg about his wheels he's trying to sell, so hopefully should be sufficiently suited and booted if all goes well!
