Matt H Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Finally arrived! my new monster wheels and OEM handbrake. The wheels are just stunning, i thought the 9.5 inch was huge, but the 12" i laid my eyes upon today is just unreal! They are so stunning, wish all of you could see them in person. Just need the best rubber for them now. Another little "finishing touch", like my old leather OEM auto stick, the handbrake leather was looking a bit worn. So again, like my auto knob, i've purchased a brand new OEM one, to add the quality back into the cabin. I almost feel the the other thread on the stock build with the stock OEM parts i've purchased to replace older ones Anyway, enough gas, more brand new stuff: Quality packaging, each wheel came with a cute dust cover with the kranze name on, feels so executive The sexy beasts! 9.5" standing next to the 12". cant believe how wide those 12" are! Better side on picture! wow Size comparison so you get the feel of how wide these actually are! New quality OEM parts direct from Jap land got to keep the supra looking new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until Matt kerbs these little beauties then Nope, my kerbing days are over!!

Supra-Brett Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 What tyre sizes will you be running ? 265s on the 9.5 front 335s on the 12 rear ? You must surley have a widebody kit to fit those ? People always seem to say that they will effect handling. Why will it effect it so much ? At the end of the day wider rubber = more grip ? Mosr modren cars are running 205s or wider 235s are common now. Years ago these tyre sizes were enormous, but modern cars seem to handle perfectly well (well actually very very well) Why do wider tyres on a supe effect handling so much ?

JamieP Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Or drive in the slow lane of any motorway Or attempt any sort of spirited driving Or experience any kind of wheelspin Mine had the same size rims and drove perfect, including wheelspins as yo know Rob;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine it will be better, the grip will be ace, other people like Jamie, supragold (Mark) have had larger wheels for ages, no probs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
