Have I done the right thing..?

I bought some 19s for my supra that I have just got last week. Got a few problems with them like but they do look FAT!

Have I done the right thing by buying 19s, or should I of stuck to the norm and gone for 18s?

18's boy

slap... lol

have a look at jamiep car

Bit late now as you've already bought them. What problems anyway? Personally I'd stick with 18's max... but 19's are fine.

Think that 18" are best...friend of mine had 19" on his supra , they look a little to big , thats what i think

Looks to pimpy..

Miss those days!

Should have stuck with 17's IMO mate

I'm thinking I might go for 19's when I get some cash... people talk about handling, but to be fair I don't really drive it too crazily so....

Nah mate, 16's all the way, better yet, if you can find 15's that will clear UK brakes:D

If you like them, stick with them. Who cares what other people think, you aren't on a racetrack. They will potentially wear out suspension bits, especially wheel bearings, faster, will probably tramline a fair bit, the tyres will be £££s and will wear out fast, acceleration from a standing start is compromised and the ride might be rather harsh too. But then you could say that about 18's over 17's. And you can say "I don't care" to any of those points

I posted in your other thread in the tech section....275 / 35s on 19s ??

i have 19s and happy as i too am not a race track driver, well not yet:d

Thanks for the replies fellas...

The thing is... I have kept my stock alloys for track days (if I ever go to another one as I wrote off a FTO on a track day) and I really wanted to try something a little different for my new project. I have intentions to be around for a long time with my supra and I know and realise that to everyone else it will just look like a typical modded supra, but to me it will be a first, a road I have never been down. Granted I may make mistakes. I may have to back track. I may even have to spend even more money to rectify a problem or a mistake that I cause in the first place. But for me tho, my enjoyment comes from the whole experience and not just the end result...

Being part of a community of owners where you can bounce ideas off is part of the experience and makes it even better for all. Thanks again to all...

no probs bud, everyones is here to help!

I have 19"s and I like them.

But they are a bit heavy, 1 rearwheel with tire is 25 kilo's (315/25 19)

So accelaration might be a bit slower.

I just swithed to 19" alloys myself...and i notice that they are a bit heavier BUT...it does look nice!

I have 19s on mine. Think it depends on the wheel if they look too big or not. Ride is a bit harsher though.

19s are the best look at mr drivers prime example

I have 18's on mine and they look too small - I want 19's!

Might be selling mine soon mate

if you can maintain the overall rolling radius roughly right, does having 18s vs 19s make that much odds?

if 18s look to small have you lowered the car, I think they are a good middle ground between putting the handling out of wack and looks. 17s are a bit small, I'd rather 18s with lower profiles with roughly the same over all radius. Not sure you can still acheive that with big 19s and fat tires?

wheres the pics then we will be able to tell ya if youve done the right thing or not

Might be selling mine soon mate

nice wheels, not sure if they would look as good on mine though - that and I dont have the money!!
