sure.. 17's are nice.. if you have money for new tires and for the extra inch.. im only 16. then your spedo is gonna be wrong, and more weight.. and ur ride is going to change.. and handling.. and so on, right? besides, i think the 16's actually look pretty big on the supra, and if you lower it and inch or two, it will look great. is there any disadvantage of having chrome rims? rusting or anything? just wondering cuz ive heard different things.

Ugly, especially if you buy 16"ers. Save your money.

lol these are rims that if I ever saw them on a supra, I'd make fun of it.

IF you're going to buy wheels, don't buy the stock size! it's just retarded.
if you want 16's, buy some 91-92 5-spokes, or some FD wheels.

lighter because you race people all the time?
it's not gonna make that much of a difference.

get some GOOD wheels that'll compliment the car, not make it look ricey.

fn01rc comes to mind.

If you can't do it right don't do it at all. A supra deserves to have a rim with at least a little bit of a lip or if you got the money please get staggered wheels. Imagine how they will look from the back with those wheels on, no lip and some skinny ass tires that won't look so aggresive. You want that supra to look phat when you look at it from the back, like that blue supra up above. Mad props nice lookin supra.

like i said, im 16.. i dont have THAT much money for rims in the first place, and whats wrong with 16's? i think.. when you go stick 18's on ur car, it looks more ricey.. and a supra is a jap car anyways? sure.. id rather have rims like these.. but im sure there $1500 atleast for all 4's... then i have to spend more on tires.. id love those.. but id love to have the money also.

maybe ill just save up for the ones above ^^^ or something similar. i guess if im gonna do it, do it right. ill likely use stockers for now.. and go up to 17's when i need new tires. i guess i just save for a few months.. i was thinking of getting a new MHG and doing a turbo and getting cheaper rims.. but ill just make a custom intake, cut out my cat, and get exhaust for now.. and ill do that MHG soon.
