How does it drive with the low offset wheels on there? Do they screw with the steering feel or cause alot of kickback on rough roads when you hit the brakes hard?

I was looking at 16x8" +0 wheels but I remember when I went from +52 to +40 wheels on my mazda it screwed up the steering feel under braking. (caused horrific torque steer too... but that was on a FWD)

it feels pretty good destrux, the only thing that sucks is that my tires are rubin the fender in the rear. talking bout tires rubing how would you roll the fender? if you dont have the proper tool, i do have a heater gun and thats bout it.

Yup, wonderful looking wheels. I've always been a fan of the MKII Supra wheels too, and these are like their big brother. I think I'll start looking for a set now...

I think it looks great as is, forget the drop haters most real-world roads can't handle lowered cars
Poor man's roll tool = baseball bat

Shame Boyd wheels suck (oh I got stories lol) and the proportions are off compared to the early renderings (plus the polishing job removes all the details), oh and did I mention price...

Anyway, back to the Starion wheels, I've given a few local guys crap about being 5 spoke MKII Supra wheels :rofl: They're cool wheels, still undecided on if I really like them on a MKIII though...

Thats incredible! I want a sunroof targa! Ive thought so many time how awesome itd be to be able to have the sun coming in but still have the quiet and no wind. Youre lucky, best of both worlds....in three ways! 2 supras, sunroof and targa, 1jz AND 7m. Lucky lucky lucky.


And clamp weights are those little squares clamped to the lip on your rims. Nowa days most people use sticky weight on the inside of the rim so there is nothing to distract from the smooth polished lip of your rims.

Did you have it made or did you buy the car like that?
