finally some matching wheels :]

[thechori]

well i've been driving my car for about 7 months, with mismatched wheels, but i finally got some new tires to finally throw on, yusss
(don't mind that dent, the previous owner took it over a dip too quickly and bent up the front end slightly, very minor frame damage :[ )

wheels: 17x7 +42 (yea they aren't the best specification for a supra :[, but they were cheap and looked decent)

the car is not turbo, but i'm hoping to go na-t sometime

Fellow Houston inhabitant,
nice job on the new set. Like you said not the perfect specs for a Supra (I have the exact same specs on my wheels btw, and Im hoping for an upgrade here soon as well) but they look decent enough.

[TurboFreak]

Awwww I thought you of all people would have the drift status wheels!!!

Ehh oh well they're better than mismatched ugly ones... and I could see some spacers in the future for those wheels.

thanks, yea i really want some new wheels but i'm not gonna be able to afford a new set anytime soon. i didn't know you lived in houston as well, i was really looking into a weezlwing but i didn't have money for that either.. haha :[

[ViR2]

[Sl1dewaysSupra]

[thechori]

nice. haha

[TurboFreak]

No No I meant Drfit status as in ideally a 18 x 10 R +22 18 x 9 F +26 with about 235 series tires on the rear and 225 series on the front.

But hey nice wheels anyways.

[mk3supraoz]

hey anything is better than sawblades:naughty:

[LilMissMkIII]

They look 10000000 times better!!!!! :)

235 on a 10in wheel would be dumb. 225 on a 9 sucks too

[TurboFreak]

Joe.....

...your stupid.:biglaugh:

No but seriously thats the drift "style", they're stretched so that they slide easier...

[OneJoeZee]

I know what it is and it's dumb.

[TurboFreak]

I am the man with the mask on in your avatar....

[steven89]

hah, id kinda have to agree with Joe here, stretched tires look dumb and are just impractical (easier to get curb rash and etc).

[TurboFreak]

Yep its the overall opinion here on SM. Most of us are just not that kinda people.

[OneJoeZee]

Well, I'm not a mad tyte drifter. There's no reason to run any less tire than I can fit with whatever width/offset/ride height.

Anyway, back on topic. ;)

[thechori]

oh my bad, i thought you guys were referring to the mismatched wheels (usually people have mismatched wheels during events b/c the tires get worn out)

but yea, if i get some spare cash i might look into a spare set and have some real drift status wheels :naughty:

[Imprezademics]

Not too bad. Way better than the sawblades. lol!
