qwarrior Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I need some new wheels for the car and I used to have flat black 3 spokes on which got damaged in an accident which involved me, a fit of rage and a skill saw, but we'll not go there. I have a set of stock Toyota wheels on at the mo (supplied by littlenum) because I haven't made my mind up on what I want, but they're annoying me. I would like a new set of gloss or flat black wheels, but the missus recons they look chav'y on a black car. I've photoshoped up a compromise with these TSW Strip's. Wadaya all think (of the wheels, not my photoshop skills)?

Josh Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Not a fan of the new wheels at all. Just my opinion, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Out of those 2, stock looks better, IMO TSW are fairly cheap wheels and look cheap aswell. Seeing as you have a stock bodied Supra, CCW Classics would be a win, or maybe the Forgestar F14's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kniff_666 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 IMO i just don't think these suit the look of the car. I just don't like black on black (tyres and wheels) i think you need some contrast. I have a black sup and it has gun metal alloys. I really like them on my car. BTW i am not being big headed as i did not put them on my sup but the bloke i bought her off had taste (IMO) pics they don't look like dark gun metal here but they are in reality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kniff_666 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 BTW just noticed that you have clear side repeaters. they look nice on it I am about to do this to mine but was unsure because it is a Jap-import and i have heard the bulb holders + bulb don't fit the lenses off ebay. IS yours an import or UK spec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS yours an import or UK spec? J-Spec mate, but had the repeaters when I bought it and have not had to change the bulbs yet, so couldn't give you a heads up on that I'm afraid.

Robzki Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I would fit some calipers and discs while you are there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as you have a stock bodied Supra, CCW Classics would be a win, or maybe the Forgestar F14's Both very nice but as you say very expensive. The car is mostly used for track days, so I'm trying to get away with 17s for weight but may have to go with 18s to get them over the brakes. The 17s I have on are clear by about 3mm at the mo, which I'm not happy with. I have a limited budget and would rather spend the extra cash on tyres, brakes and other track day related stuff. It's not going to be a show car. Also I'd be gutted if I'd spent that much and then run out of talent and damaged them. Maybe I should have explianed better in my original post. But cheers for the replies guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
