Wheel choice

Guys,

Your thoughts and input required please...

I have wanted a set of these for years......

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/emenu/datas2/VOLK/190_GTC_1/big.jpg

They are a bit pricey but i love them!

what do you think?

I'm also looking for help on offsets.....

I have fully rolled rear arches (completely flush)

I'm thinking of the following...

Fronts... 19" 8.5 FACE 1 inset A +39mm (don't think so but can I go to +27mm??)

Rears... 19" 10.5 FACE 2 inset B +37mm (or can I go lower to +24mm??)

Your thoughts and advice appreciated.

Thanks

J

Sorry for this but I don't like them. There's too much going on and in my mind they don't look too good on a Supra.

Maybe if someone could photoshop them onto a Supra it may help make the decision

8.5 et27 will be fine on the front.

10.5 et37 will be fine on the rear, you should be able to get the et27 on ok, jamesy has 11.5 et 25 on the rear of his.

Hmm, still too much going on with the wheel for me.

They look to fit the arches well though.

Nice Same centre caps as mine aswell lol

Thanks Add I'm finally getting round to getting these..... just had to pick myself up of the floor after the quote came in from MVP yesterday! lol

Yeah I had a look into how much mine cost (gt-v), a stupid amount of money for a set of wheels. I'm just glad the old owner bought them and not me lol. That picture looks ace with them on.

Well I'm not planning on selling just yet..... if I had to I'd probably sell my Granny first!

Rays recommend the following sizes and offsets for a stock Supra

Front - GT-C Face 1 19x8.5 +39

Rear - GT-C Face 2 19x9.5 +37

The 19x10.5 +37 would fit on the rear if the arches are rolled.

Nice choice mate, my favorite on a Supra, I just can't justify the cost though but always tempted. Good on you, go for it they look the dogs. [COOL][/COOL]

I must say those wheels look absolutely perfect on that supra also would look awsome on Black too :)So if your supra is either of those coolours and you have the dollah then i say go for as it would look absolutely stunning!

Those are the sizes I've got.

The rear wheel looks perfect but the front wheels could do with coming out towards the arch around 5mm I would say to fill the arches better, I'm not sure if that would give any clearance problems as I haven't tried it yet.

I wish I had gone for a 10.5" rear but the 9.5" was recommended, I like a wide rear.

The wheels look great but the shiny lip is very delicate and easily scratched, they're not light either but I don't have any regrets.

They look really nice John, Will look good on the supra, very similar to my Rays but mine are only 17", and would look loads better if they were 18-19".

Yes I think that I may go with a 5mm spacer on the fronts as I will need to accommodate my next little purchase........

If you are buying new wheels get sizes/offsets that'll accommodate the brakes, don't use spacers.

Thanks Nick the face A should clear big breaks no problem just like to push them out to fill the wings better and 5mm might help if things are tight (they should not be as I'm not going down the UK spec route)

Got to agree with your earlier post I think the +27 on the font is pushing things a bit far the best offsets I have seen in this size have bee +32 - +33mm

I'm just waiting on MVP to confirm fitment now

8.5 +27 will fit the front with ease, lots people run 9" front +32 and +35, its very common supra fitment even without rolling., depends what look you want, i only like an aggresive fit.

Ive had 9.5 +22 on the front of mine with a arch roll.

I like them

Thanks mate I want aggressive!!

Do it with the wheel sizes and offsets then, spacers, especially 5mm non-hubcentric ones are not a good idea.

the gold vertsion ftw

With an aggressive looking bodykit like that they look good but on a stock bodied Supra I don't think they would be any good.

Favourite wheel. I got the face 2 9.5 front and 10.5 rear
