Works, Rays Engineering and other high quality rims are different story
but you pay the price.
Chrome TT rims will turn heads for sure tho.
at least I think so..
hey to each his own , alot of people seem to like the tt wheels and i guess it simply comes down to a matter of opinion and peoples different tastes.

what part of ontario r u in?

im in toronto

If I was faced with paying 800+ for the Supra wheels vs. looking for a used set of non-OEM wheels... I'd go the latter. I actually DO like the look of the TT wheels, but for that price I couldnt do it. I mean hell if you look around I've seen G owners pulling the 19" Ray's off their car for 400-700 depending on the day. If those are your style that is.

Like said earlier, all in the eye of the beholder.

I see both sides of the discussion, but I am one who has grown fond of the TTs with time. They are a great option that supports wider tires, clears big brakes, and you know they are going to be a high quality wheel to meet OE specs. Plus, as mentioned, they just seem to flow with the lines of the SC so well.

TT wheels are not that big an improvement over looks. You can definitely get a lot more with just a little bit more in terms of wheel. Lip on the other hand, are rare. You can hardly find a good condition stock lip, let alone a Behrman lip.

This is exactly the reason I bought TT wheels. The set I got was a solid 7 out of 10 condition-wise. I'll get them refinished and in perfect shape for the same $400 investment I made and sell them back when I don't want them to either a Supra or Lexus owner....easily. And winters in the DMV area between snow, over-salting and potholes are absolute murder. Great wheels on the Coupe outside of Spring-Fall would scare the heck out of me.
And for everyone saying they could find good-brand wheels as cheap is mistaken/lying. The good stuff in just your color and sizing (or even close)come in for no less than 1500-1800 a set. I've been looking.
As for the lip, you could scrape or break on of those on your first ride out. No thanks. But to each his own.
