These rims

[newbsupra]

i was looking at a local store, and i was thinking of these for my supra.. im gonna stay with 16's..cuz there lighter and i want to keep my stock tires, and the whole rotating mass idea.. cuz i race people all the time. just thinking, whats ur opinion on these.. there cheap, and i like them. curious how they'd look on a silver supra tho. dont think im gonna get them chrome like this tho. anyone that has photoshop should put these on a pic of a supra

looks aight, but i think they'll look better bigger, youll also have a bigger contact patch, with the right set of tires

what do you guys think of these

fronts with 18 x 9 rims
and the rear having 17 x 10

the tires are diffrent too
the front uses lo pro tires
and the rear uses something bigger dunt know the exact size

but what do you guys think of using diffrent size rims, diffrent for the rear so you can still control air pressure

just get both rims in 17, if you have 18 fronts and 17s rears your car is going to look pretty retarted. And what are you going to do with 9 inch wide front wheels? 7 or 8 is fine. Get 9s on the back, good for 275-305s

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.

chromes last forever if you take care of it and keep it polished and waxed. And no, your speedometer will not be wrong, Unless you git big ass tires. And generally the tire weighs more than the rim, so the 1 inch bigger will not add weight, it would be less if anything. 2nd, the design of the rim is most likely lighter than the supra wheels. To measure your wheels height, you take the tires size, 205/50 for example. the 50 means its 50% of the width in height. so the tires are 102.5 mm tall. Which is about 4 (25.4mm/inch). So the total height is 4+4+17(25"). The stock tires/wheels are 25.6" tall mathematically. The most accurate way is to just measure them, And apply the percentage as your speedo error. For the given example, it would be 3%. So at 50 actual speed, your speedo would read 51.5. Not much of a difference, which is why most people dont worry about it.
