supraaaaaaaaaa Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 quite fancy looking at something like 18's so i can keep the handling good and thought over the next few years i want to trim the fat off the edge of the supra and lighten it up and rotational mass has to be a key area, so what are god wheels to look out for, {maybe lucky enough to source a car with them on} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 stock wheels are nice and light, compared to my chrome ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraaaaaaaaaa Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 stock wheels are nice and light, compared to my chrome ones yeah but not the nicest looking wheels ducks for cover, i know with the hondas you can buy magnesium wheels that way stupidly litte ammounts, guess all these lunatic drag racers must use light ones {even if they are 20 inch plus } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Apparantly the lexus alloys (can't remember their exact name) are a good choice, Chris Wilson has raved about them in the past, correct offset, lightweight etc - but pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I don't know if this is right but aren't there issues with magnesium wheels on the road. They tend to fracture from potholes and the crappy road surface because they are designed for racing on smooth tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Rays make some really good quality lightweight wheels, which do you have? TBH i don't know which ones they are, came with the car, take a look below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
