I'm not a fan of black wheels so I gotta give it a

But that's just cuz I don't like black wheels.

Peace,

I would stick with your stock supra wheels. The quality is better.

if you bought some "higher quality" wheels in black with chrome lip and chrome rivets...go for it!!

otherwise, stick with the supra TT's...

I say get some good coilovers, then when you have the dough get the high quality rims, polished lips, etc. Those TT rims you have look good, just need a drop. Drop it like it's hot!............ Little Wayne

well, if you like them, go for it.

from what I've heard, ASA isn't a terrible rim. I think it's interesting that members look up to SW, and no one really questioned his rim choice on his beater... but when another member comes and asks about ASA rims, people give the thumbs down. I wouldn't be at all suprised if spencer considers his SC his beater car in comparison to his Supra... maybe he wants a set of rims that he's not afraid to have his wife/gf curb?

1) The MKIV is most likely your monster, this is your toy... so any money you spend on the SC is money that you could spend on the MKIV... Bling-Bling CCWs for your SC, or AEM for your MKIV? I understand why you don't want to spend a huge wad of cash on the SC.

2) I'd go w/ gunmetal over straight black, but hey, that's cool either way. I think it'll look bad-a on a black car they certainly do on Peter's 1131 rwhp supe

Another option to consider is picking up a slightly used set of higher quality rims... just a thought. Supra Fitment means all of the rims at SF, as well as here at CL are at your disposal.

They look good, the quality is decent. If you don't want to hunt around for a used set, those rims are not a bad option.

I say get them. The Supra wheels make the car look too plain. If they were bigger they would be better. Plus, our cars need updated mods to look more modern. Yeah, do it!
