Iirc starion wheels are 16's. Mk4s are heavy but are prolly wider. More a of a looks thing i would think.

You want wheels for racing what kind of racing? Road races you would want the lightest wheels To get rid of unsprung weight.

well like some road racing and some drag as well not much in drag. ya starions are 16x7 in front and 16x8 in rear.... what will be the widest tire i can put on the rear? and starions do look nice on mk3 supras.

Depends on how much tire flex/roll you want. Mk4s would be a lot better and have more used better sized tires out there. Esp if it for 1 day. The edges are going to be done after a good day on a road course. Wider would provide more grip with a wider tire and not having a ton of roll.

After market wheels would be the way to go tho.

They would be ok. The smaller wheel would be better if you put a taller tire for drag. Different racing requires different setups.
