Ok so now that i have the supra back its time to move on from what was lost and looking at wheel ideas, stereo possibilites, and of course the already decided paint color. I'm kind of impartial to these 3 sets of wheels. I want to change things up a bit but having difficulty if i want a deeper concaved wheel, a mild dish, or simpler classic 5-spoke dish.

This is the color i'll be re-painting the supra as soon as get the chance to start on it. so keep this in mind with wheel color combos. Whatever wheels i get i'll be going a darker black/blackchrome wheel. or possible silver/polished wheel that i could dip to have the option of both a darker and lighter wheel to change things up from time to time.



None of these are in order of preference. there are just things i like about all 3 sets.
All sets i'm looking at doing 18X9.5 and 18X10.5 +22 to +30 offset. I will be rolling and slightly pulling the fenders. I've also debated on getting same width wheels 9.5 all the way around so i can do normal rotations and wear my tires evenly. Sadly i cant justify the money for genuine wheels so the Varrstoen brand reps i feel are a good quality alternative for now.

1. Varrstoen ES8 (Work Equip Reps) Same look Nick Stonawski had on his mkiii.



2. Varrstoen ES2 (Volk Rays Reps)



3. Vordoven Forme9 (Work Emotion CR Ultimate Reps)



Yes i know some are really anti-replicas but as of RIGHT NOW i would prefer to not fork out around $500 per wheel and end up having to spend $3000 on a new set of wheels and tires. I'll be putting Bridgestone Potenza RE11's on the wheels.

So i would love to know peoples thoughts and opinions on these 3 sets of wheels.

Stereo Options
I'm also needing to buy a new stereo of course. I'm debating on a single din or double din with nav. My question would be, is there any in car stereo/nav system that has a built in GPS locating system in it? In otherwords a kind of lo-jack built into the stereo that i could locate the car from my phone. I know some double din systems run on the android system now so i would think they would have the capability. If nothing like that is possible I'll just be getting a basic double din with Nav most likely.

Input is greatly appreciated.

I have a set of the es8 machines finished in 18x9.5 +12F and 18x10.5 +15R. Haven't installed but have test fitted them. I think I can pull them off without a pull but just a roll F/R. I didn't buy them because they were my favs, I bought them because they happened to come to me at a great deal, right when they came out a few months ago too. I like the Kais reps but the other 2 are winners for me. Te37 te37 reps are just so sexy. Now i think the color on the es2 looks great IMO.

So ive thought about it alot as far as longevity of the look and what i could do with the wheels for color combos etc... and im pretty sure I'll be getting the ES8.

Akito if you could post a pic or two or message me when you get your wheels on that would be great so i can determine what offset i want.

I have the Ray Volk replicas on mine and I love it. I think the MK3s look best with the simple 5 or 6 spoke rims. Anything more aggressive then that and it starts to take away from the car imo... I also got the Alpine CDE-HD148BT and love it because you can change the color illumination on it. I changed it to green and it matches the OEM interior lighting almost perfectly! They also have an Alpine double din that has color changing illumination. Having said that here is a pic of mine:






And the stereo shot (bad pic but you can see the color match nicely):

BTW love your car and glad you got it back! I don't know what I would do if someone stole my car. After what happened to you I think I'm going to invest in some LoJack. One day my Soup will be as mint as your bro!

Yours looks beautiful and looking at those volk rays reps seriously makes me think twice the fitment is perfect. Wjats the size width and offset?
