Looks fantastic.
But if I can be a complete bastard for just a second, I have to say that I don't think that the black wheel look
really accents the car properly. I think it's a good thing, just too much of a good thing. If it were black wheels with a silver lip,
I think it'd be more in balance.
Something along these lines:

Yes- I always have to complain about something, or I feel I don't have any purpose.

Holy Shit! Those look awesome! You've definitely swayed me. I think I'm sold on the 5-spoke 3 piece look. Too bad Miro doesn't make the STP-3 anymore :cry:

Thought I would update my build thread. Added some sexy parts. I definitely love this car. Got more things coming in! Still debating if I want to switch over to a 89+ bumper.

Then I Autox'd the car. First time I've driven the Supra and it put up a pretty good fight in STX. Can't wait to see how much I learn about this car by the end of the season!

I like this car, it's clean! But may I say I don't like black sawblades neither? Stock colored is better, the new rims are better than the sawblades, but looks small on the car (get rid of the wheel gap and the car would look great, wheels probably wouldn't look so small). Silver or polished wheels would set the car off perfectly in my opinion. Though I like the 89+ bumper more, I vote pre 89 on this car since it's clean.

Any plans power wise?

Thanks! I forgot to mention that the reason I bought these Enkei's was for the affordability and lightweight. I can run pretty much any tire choice I want (with the exception of slicks of course) for a price that won't kill my wallet. These are pretty much my autox and track wheels. I'll be moving up to a slightly more aggressive set of 17's for the street here in a bit, since I can run just a normal less expensive street tire and not have to worry about needing the grip for competition. As for power mods, I'll be doing a GTE swap. My cousin is actually trying to sway me to buy his 1JZ he's been sitting on for awhile :evil2: but I don't want to deal with the smog part of doing an engine swap. So i'll just be going 7MGTE and BAR'ing the car for now ;)

Needs moar low!!
Cars comin along nicely, you should go 89+ front bumper to match your tail lights and wing.
I wish my car was drivable :/

I think I could do with some moar low, most definitely. I just need to find a set of coilovers that'll suit my needs. There's a white 91 supra sitting in front of a mechanics shop for over 2 years now. I've been offering him cash for the car just so I can get the bumper off of it. If he ever decides to take my money, I'll do the bumper swap for sure.
