lambertpig Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 i love the supra but after reading many threads im lead to beleive the handling is compromized by my 19" wheels(bought with car).they look great cost a bomb but how much better are the 17"s car steers grips well but high speed 130+ is a bit twitchy. any other members had both sets and an opinion. dont want to lose the look for a small gain but if car is utterly transformed then may consider as above all i love driving prehaps im expecting too much from a 13 year old design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 i had 19" wheels on my old supra and it felt a world apart from my old 17s and 18s. Power steering felt heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afreemason Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Ride is much harsher with 19" wheels whatever but at 130 it might be getting into the realms of aero dynamics mate ...... kinda depends how much time you spend blatting it really and if you like the twisties ...... we've gone for 19" ....... twice !!!!

npotts Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I had 19" wheels on my NA, and now have 18" wheels on my TT. I have to say, that the 18's are a little better for ride quality, etc but its a pretty small difference. In my opinion the 19's look alot better. I wouldnt say the difference was that noticable from 18's to 19's, but Im sure with 17's you would feel a lot more difference from the 19's.....
