CCW makes a good rim. Be sure to get rims that are wide enough (proportional to the horsepower increase!).

Oem tt rims are 8" in the front, and 9.5" wide in the rear. One bad choice I've seen for upgrading rims, way too often, is to go up to 9" wide rims in the front (a full inch wider) and then go to 10" wide rims in the rear (only 1/2" wider than stock). When you consider this is a rear wheel drive vehicle, and additional traction requirements in the rear from bpu upgrades, this disproportional rim width change is rather rediculous, imho...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
