New wheels!

:boink: Very nice, very muscle car/JDM looking. Give us the particulars, size, offset,etc. :sonic:
Woops! Should have posted that right away, I suppose. I was too excited. 
Not sure what the offset is, they are 17x8 front and 17x9 rear. 225 tires on the front, 245 on the rear, Falken Azenis Sports.

That's next! I just need to figure out what springs to buy... I want a super solid feel that won't blow my stock shocks.

Close, but not quite. These are old school Racing Hart Rev wheels. They have been out of production for quite a few years now.
Those look GREAT!
I remember you showed those wheels before they arrived.
They look SO much better than I imagined, maybe because the other pics were not from an angle that did them justice. The look awesome from these shots though.
Nice car overall too, I got to see more pics of it as well!
I was asking because as you already know I bought those Probe rims but now want to sell them for something else (17x8 rims that come with 245-45-17). Before I make the move, I was going to be 100% sure first that they would not rub the rear quarters even if I should ever lower it.
Not thread-jacking but just saying make sure you can lower it without rubbing problems, although they don't seem to stick out too much. A guy once told me that the 17x8 rims that I want would rub & I have paranoid ever since.

I am wondering though, if you don't know your offset, how are you sure you won't have a problem with the rubbing issue in the back especially if you lower it?GrimJack said:

Turbo. Targa. Life.
SupraMania Shirt Slinger!
Grim you have read my mind completely. I'm piecing together an MKIII in my head, and Enkei RT6's are my current wheel of choice. Haven't checked them for fitment yet, though...
Well, the fact that they came off a Mk3 Supra before I owned them, and I rather doubt it wasn't lowered helps my confidence a lot. Really, though, just bounce the hell out of the back end with some chalk on the fenders, and if you end up with rub marks on the tires, expect to have problems.

I picked them up from Robert at 935motorsports. $1400 including shipping. They aren't brand new, just new to me - I don't think you could buy a set of these new anywhere in the world anymore - I'm pretty certain they have been out of production for over a decade.
You mean like this?Turkish said:Looks good, would look GREAT if it was lowered
Just installed ST springs. Hopefully it'll still settle a bit more than this.
the wheels are a sweet score, sure thing to say that you won't find them on many cars let alone another supra eh
