Default are these actual supra wheels ?

Well going through local classifieds , come across a guy selling this wheel. Claiming they are jdm supra . specs are as follows 17x8 and 17x9 no offsets as of yet. please review the pic . they look like normal supra wheels but no huge *** center cap like usual. Would really like to pick these up for some winter rims.

JDM or not, they are all the same. I think those came on the later model Supra TT. I never really liked the center caps. Prices these days vary depending on the condition and finish of the wheel. I picked up a set of scuffed chrome TTs last year for $400. I didnt care what they looked like since all they were going to be seeing is track time. If you're lucky like me, you might find a set with quick track times and names engraved in the barrel by past quick Supras.

yes those are supra wheels...make sure they say toyota on the inside of the rim to be 100% sure..it just has a different center cap like you stated..TT rims usually go for anywhere from $250 to $600+ depending on condition and if tires are included.

and the dimensions should be 17x8 front and 17x9.5 rear 50 offset

price depends on condition, with/without tires, etc. generally starting at about 400-500$ for a set w/o tires maybe?

$200 is a good deal, and the width in the rear should be 9.5''..

common tire size for front is 225 to 245 with a 45 sidewall..the rears are anywhere from 245 to 275 with a 40 sidewall..me personally I run 235/45 front and 255/40 rear...very slight stretch on the rear, but not enough to brag about.

but at that price I would jump on them

Front mk4 wheels are 17x8 and the rears are 17x9.50 simple as that. I am running 245/45r17's on mine small ,but I have to cause it would hit the springs cause it is lowered. I like the look of the stock wheels I would say go for it.

the hard part about buying used rims is knowing if they are bent. Only spinning the rim will tell you that.
