miko_supra Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Got these 18" gunmetal rota gtr's. I'm pleased with them so far I also checked all my brakes, drained all of the brake fluid and replaced with 5.1 and gave the calipers a lick of paint.

jackso11 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I want those wheels. I take it you will be having your arches rolled to fit the rear rubber in? Offset of 30, right? They do look good I am deciding between Jade-r in black, or these in black or bronze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look good I am deciding between Jade-r in black, or these in black or bronze. Yeah the rear arches are going to be trimmed back a little rather than rolled to accommodate the wheels. I really like these, they suit the solid look of the supra and aren't a bad price either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might struggle with grip though if you leave them like that Hehe yep, might get a lot of tramlining...get it? tra... Ok sorry They are one of my favourite wheels and I am thinking of getting a set once funds become avaliable for it. Are you planning on running the standard suspension?

Ok sorry They are one of my favourite wheels and I am thinking of getting a set once funds become avaliable for it. Are you planning on running the standard suspension? I'm going to be running stock bilsteins with either eibach or tein springs to give the car a more aggressive look and i'll see how I get along with those. Ideally I would go for brand new shocks and springs but I have many other plans where that extra £300 can be spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Nice, You can get the Supra decals from ebay for the brakes to make them look original again...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-Supra-Brake-Caliper-Decals-x6-original-pattern_W0QQitemZ180408598024QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item2a0130be08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like these, they suit the solid look of the supra and aren't a bad price either. you have good taste I run the exact same wheel and 265 on the rear with stock uk suspension and ride but haven't needed to do any arch work.. 275 look like they'd fit too so do you really need to do arch work?

What offset and widths did you get on the rear? I shall have to see once the tyres are on if any work will need doing to stop rubbing.

jackso11 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Exactly as you, 30 offset and same width wheels' and no rubbing at all? Is UK suspension harder? or do you have the bilsteins on? I know they were an upgrade on J-spec, could have been standardon UK spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they were an upgrade on J-spec, could have been standardon UK spec. Correct I'm running entirely stock uk suspension which is iirc stiffer than jdm and Its not lowered. Had these wheels on for over a year and it's my sole car. No scrubbing has happened and I think I'm on my 3rd set of rear rubber now, not even when I boot it in 1st and the rear squat right down no sign of arches having had any contact either wouldn't mind getting the arches flared out as I like that look, would have got arch enemy to do that if it was required, but right now no it's not a necessity. Can take a pic or two tomorrow and attach it FYI if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) I have the same wheels - but powder coated black - now where did you get your nuts from? Hey si I got a set with the wheels myself when I bought then from envy ages ago. Jacko & miko, pics uploading shortly. Glad mine's red and yours is black, as otherwise if you did move down bmth area I'd think I've got an admirer si Edited October 29, 2009 by caseys (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
