What wheels?????????

[Stu_Fraser]

Righto, ive been out and about looking at wheels today, there doesnt seem to be much choice that will actually fit the supra.

Im after 18's or 19's, will 19's fit into the arches ok?

Was looking at Blitz Technospeed but they are gonna be far too expensive..........

What does everyone reckon? Im after a design thats quite simple and not too expensive???

You're right there its not easy finding wheels that will fit the MKIV but they are out there. Its a case of spending an evening on the internet and hitting lots of sites and seeing which take your fancy and fit your budget. Then speak to one of the suppliers and see what they can do for you.

19" will fit the arches OK as long as you don't go mad with the offset.

Also now is the time to consider whether you want to buy wheels that will fit over UK brakes as this could make things easier in the furture.

i have some lovely looking 5 spoke chrome wheels on mine. they came in with the car, dont know what make they are but they have hyperion on the centre disk, any ideas

[Stu_Fraser]

The search for wheels is now even more desperate as i spun the car today and wrecked both passenger side wheels on the kerb. The rear rim is a complete write off!!!!!

Ive chosen between the following two designs.

1. Hi-Octane H204 in Hyper silver
2. Kei Racing D1

These are both available in a 18inch fitment for the Supra, I dont have a picture of the Kei Wheels, but they are a simple 5 spoke Japanese design....... Think i may go for these ones!!

Martin the car already has the larger brake set up so i dont have to take this into consideration.

Clayton, are the Hi octane wheels similar to the ones on your car???

[Stu_Fraser]

Here are the wheels....... Kei racing on the right!!

Sorry to hear about the slip, but the weather has been none too good at the mo http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Just make sure your new wheels will clear the UK brakes then, as lots won't.

Those Kei's look really nice and should suit the Supra, the others aren't really to my taste.

Have you considered the Racing Hart range? They are my current favourites and Envy (http://www.envyperformance.com) seem to have some great prices on them.

[Stu_Fraser]

Thanks Martin, could have cried when i came off the road.......... the back end just lost traction, pleased i was only doing about 30 or it could have been alot worse

Think im gonna go for the Kei Wheels, like you siad Mccanny I think they will suit the Supra. Was considering the 5 spoke Racing Hart wheels but they are slightly outside my budget at the mo........ http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

as Martin says be very careful with Supra wheels.

Whatever you do do not pay for these wheels until they have been fitted on the car and you are happy that they do not hit the brake calipers or the tyres rub on the wheel arches.

I would also be careful about fitting 19" wheels with stock suspension or very lowered cars.

[Stu_Fraser]

Gavin im gonna go for 18's http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Rich D]

Would you mind telling me where you are getting them from? and even ruder than that, how much you are paying? tyres included? I'm thinking about a big brake conversion but i've only got stock 16's! bugger, there goes ?4k. http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cry.gif
i need some big but cheapish wheels and tyres, not 19's though aqs i don't want the handling to suffer too much!

[Stu_Fraser]

Rich, no problem, probably gonna get them from Revolution Motorsport in Newcastle, not had an exact price on the Kei wheels as im not sure what tyres im gonna go for yet, but its probably be gonna be about 1.5 to 2k including tyres http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

[Stu_Fraser]

Well i got my new wheels, really pleased with them, think they really suit the car.

[EmmaG]

[Stu_Fraser]

[Martin F]
