fredm Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi guys and girls, I'm picking up my first Supra tomorrow a 94 TT (I'm all excited, probably won't sleep a wink tonight!) and allready my thoughts are turning to the subject of wheels. I have been surfing the supra sites for the past week and have seen some wicked cars. Now I have always been a fan of BBS wheels (possibly because I come from a BMW background) but I have not come across a single Supra with BBS rims. Do you guys think that they just don't go with Supra's or is there some other reason? Personally I think a set of 18" CH's would look wicked, if no one can put me off the idea I feel that is where I will be putting my money. Any suggestions?

Bobbeh Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hiya, I've seen lots with BBS, you just havent seen enough Personally I think the Jap imports often come with a set that look great, and many owners prefer the jap manufactuers styles to the BBS.

fredm Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hell I must be looking in the wrong places, I feel like I have clicked on a million images over the past week. I'm sure some 18" CH's would do the biz. Apparently they are only available in 8.5" width for the Supra, but I have been assured that would be o.k. with a 235 on the front and you can just squeeze a 255 on the rear. I'll carry on surfin the sites, lets face it I ain't going to be able to sleep tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Originally posted by fredm o.k. with a 235 on the front and you can just squeeze a 255 on the rear. I've just bought new wheels so that I could fit 275 wide rears on them. Got 245's on the front. If it's gonna be a TT you're getting, then I think you will be wanting wider wheels, BBS do a much wider wheel than that as I saw them when I was searching for new rims. The only problem is that they are VERY expensive, so you might as well go for something like a Blitz rim. Ben.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarface GTti Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I like these rims, i think they`d look the dogs on a Supra: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilg Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I have some BBS alloys on my car, half considering getting rid of them in the near future if your interested? See pics in the gallery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Nice wheels Scarface, but they only come in 8.5x18 maximum and those cost over £250 EACH!! For that sort of cash I would have something a lot wider. Not considering the fact that they probably don't come in a 5x114.3 PCD with a 60mm Centre Bore. I can't tell you the difference you notice when you go from plastic spacers to the correct centre bore! Ben.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 There's not much available in the BBS range anymore, to fit the Supra in the correct widths. The only wheel I can suggest is the LeMans 3 piece wheel. If you require any further information, please contact me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I'll have BBS rims on mine soon - if I ever manage to get all the pieces in the same place at once so I can re-assemble them that is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
