Lol..u dared me to find info on your wheels. The previous owner, Ray, is a socalsupras member. He got those wheels around 2004.

How certain r u about them being 8.5" and 9.5"?

Evidently not that sure. Ya, I knew he was from SoCal... I picked them up from 935 a few years back.

Dave, you're gettin' old man! lol! Your wheels are 17x8, and 17x9. Not as cool as those Panasports, better than my old Volks...and very cool for old schoolers!

Old??!! Pot, meet Kettle. ;) I'm not going to argue with the rim king, that's for damn sure. And I agree on those Panasports, they are damn fine looking wheels.

those Panasports are amazing.. I'll have to look into them when I go to Japan.

on other note, I wonder when my SA3Rs were made. hmm..

Did some digging on those Panasports... seem they've come in several designs, most of which are nowhere near as sexy as the ones posted here... :(

Try Panasport G7-C5C2.

Good luck finding some in good offsets and widths, it's kind of hard haha. I've been looking for quite a while now.

Someone local has a set of the regular G7 in 17x8 +9 and 17x9 +4 =\ good if you have a 5-lug S13 friend or something I guess.

I think that mesh rims look period correct on the Supra, especially black with a silver lip.
I'm also a fan of Stern/ Tom's 5 spoke, and those sweet-ass Advan 3-spoke rims,
17 inch, of course.

My Sterns are period correct and that's why I bought them. They look timeless and will never look "played out" like so many wheel fads that come and go. If I own this car 10 years from now, I don't see me having different wheels on the car (barring catastrophic failure). I have had these for at least 3 years and I looked for this set for 2 years before I bought them.
