SupraDan24 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 If i ever become silly rich, i'm definately going to have a set of wheels like those made, can't stop looking at them. Love insanely deep shiny dish, you just cant beat it....even with a stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 i can speak to my engineer but they will need your old wheel etc. It's something I would do over the winter, while the Supra is SORN, but it would be interesting to know if replacing the lip with a larger lip is a good option finacially over replacing them with new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat dish and then the ones with a step. The step ones are stonger but this would make your wheel a inch bigger, also you would need to replace your rear barrels.

DodgyRog Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Mine are the flat ones Do you mean if I went from say flat to stepped, then I would need to replace the rear barrel or the rear barrel has to replaced whatever I guess I could alway add the inch and go to 19's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 A bit like supragold supra, I like how you also widened the front bumper, rear wheels look too small, otherwise looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Oh just noticed how can you remove that front bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

original_amo Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 In the last 5 years of owning the car ive never had too remove it. Always got around it including getting the engine out. So i fabricated metal plates to hold it in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 small? rear wheels are 20" lol fronts are 19" Maybe needs some spacers as those arches look too wide for them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

original_amo Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 nope it sits perfect! It may because the rear tyres are streched quite alot! They are 335 35 20. There no engine in the car yet so the front will drop a bit too ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 hhmm.. i loved this car, anyone who knows me will say.. but i'm just a little unsure about how big those rear arches are.. i definitely think it would be better if you got bigger tyres so i will with hold judgement.

abtin90 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Some seriously wide wheels and arches. It's definitely unique. Looking forward to seeing more pics of the progress. Great workmanship by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Love the wheels for sure, but a little disappointed with the stuck-on appearance of the arches, each to there own and im sure you'll love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCK10 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) It's a very nice car and will no doubt win many shows when it's done, but in my opinion the Veilside side skirts look completely out of place, and the arches are too OTT!.. As they always say though, each to their own. Not how I would have done it, but still a lovely car Edited April 12, 2012 by RCK10 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Have I agree with marcAB10...loved this car before but think the arches are too big I'm afraid!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Not sure Amo. The veilside skirts dont work imo as the vent looks lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Love the wheels, look great. IMO the lines of the front bumper don't flow, just stop dead and the same as what Rob said with the skirts. But as long as you love it is the main thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Wheels look nice, not a fan of the kit though, might have worked better in a dark colour. As a show car I'm sure it will get plenty of attention still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
