I have a black mkIII 1990 turbo HT.

Found 2 rims that I love.

Can you tell me if either one is better quality, lighter etc...

Going for 19" 9.5 rears 8.5 fronts.

Anyone have a pic with them on a car?

I like the second one.

Just my opinion based on looks and how I think it would look on the supra, I don't know any of the specs.

NOYFB!
Stern's look better, but both are very heavy cast rims. You'd be better off staying with 18", as your brakes will feel considerably less effective, with the extra unsprung weight. If you do the 19's, do a ARZ big brake package too, you'll need em'!

I will upgrade to the arz kit and supra tt rear calipers in the future.

Since the USD is climbing to my SEK Im leaning towards the ruff rim.
But I do like the stern rim too and sofar its still cheaper.

Almost everyone has 5 spokes so the stern has an advantage there.

So far its stern 2, ruff 1.
