Nic Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Yip they are very cool wheels. I'd be running 8.5" or 9" front, 10" or 10.5" rear. Don't tell Jamie but I'm quite taken with the Advan RS at the mo , they come in dark gunmetal already (which the CE28N's don't), and are significantly lighter than the SA-70's. They seem the best allrounder based on looks/weight/offsets & price. I don't think there's that much in it between the weight of the 3 wheels you mention, all are quite light in weight compared to other wheel models. 18x9/18x10 SA-70's are around 8-8½kg each. The CE28's and Advans are both forged so are slightly lighter at around 7ish kg each from memory for the same size, but then again they cost around double the price of SA-70's. FYI the Volk CE28's are available in black by special order at a slightly higher price. Robsheffield has the Volk TE37's in black as a comparison.

jevansio Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 The SA-70s are good value for money, but as I'm only interested in weight I'm prepared to pay a little more to lose another 0.5kg a wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Not a bad look IMO , think!! I have done it twice now and always thought it was an aggressive look that suits the Supra Both cars here, really suits your car mate on the photo shop http://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww54/tooquicktostop/SV201552.jpg http://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww54/tooquicktostop/SV201057.jpg http://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww54/tooquicktostop/SV201060.jpg who's car is that and where can i find more pics!

jevansio Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 A small light update, I've half fitted the LED fogs & HID dips I know a lot of us like driving around with the fogs on, & I know it annoys people. 55w is the smallest bulb in H3 fitment you can get halogen, but these white LED ones I got which are supposed to be 55w obviously aren't. They should allow the fogs to be on without dazzling anyone, you pretty much can't see them on in this shot, but later on I'll get a pick when it's darker and they should match up with the HIDs pretty well, no ballast so easier to install and less weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thats a great pic, real moody. HID looks good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 HIDs are hands down the most value mod you can do a Supra, looks-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
