They'll fit your car if they fit the supra. I have Blitz Z3's 9x19 front and 10x19
rear. They're surpa fitment since I bought them from a Supra owner.
Can't wait to see pics of them on your car.

Ahh...ive never thought about it that way before...but i agree 100% Actually it think that is what led me to buy these wheels for the Supra...to get somehthing a bit different...more sleek and Grand Touring-looking, than ***** out performance

Exactly...

Thanx, i think so too Actually...Toyota/Lexus blues have been haunting me since i first looked at a (similar) blue '92 Celica (in 1997), and a mkIV Supra with the Royal Saphire Pearl (blue) colour...and ending up with different colours each time! THIS time though...i managed to get my hands in this rare blue gem...and im proud of having finally caught the right colour!

Ive installed:
An Alpine DVD-based sat.nav system with 7" screen. (was in the car when i bought it)
2001 rear lamps
2001 (RX) side turnsignals
2001 instrument cluster

And within a month or three, the following will be installed:
19" alloys (the ones "mentioned" in this post )
TTE 30mm lowering kit.
2-DIN headunit. (CD/DVD/NAV. etc)
7" screens in the rear headrests.
And...a nice stereo install to round things off

Tell me about it...from what i can tell there are 2 (TWO) GS's in Norway with this colour! After searching for "the right" GS for 2-3 months, i broadened my search to include other european countries, and shure enough i found "my" GS at an authorised toyota/lexus used car dealer in Germany!

Now that's what I call determination!!!!

When I was in the market for my GS, my first choice of color was the exact same color as yours, but just couldn't find any.

I had to settle for my second (too common) choice - silver. The rest as they say is history.

One day, when I have money coming out of the wazoo, I will change the color of my silver GS to this blue.

Only thing i, sometimes, regret is not opting for the GS400...but i guess all good things come to those who wait
