[Jmanlevan]

The rear is 19x11 and the concavity looks great in my opinion

Awesome concave shape!! What are you running for centercaps? OEM? Which brand tire? Can’t wait to see them mounted up!

Thanks Tim!

These are the center caps that come with the wheels! You get to select the color of the letters! I went with brembo red because I have a black and red theme going with my car and the letters will tie in nicely with the brake calipers.
Tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 4s! 265 35 19 in the front 305 30 19 in the rear. wide bois in the rear haha which will be great because the stock super sports break loose in the first 2, sometimes 3 gears haha
Should have a super nice, tight & flush fitment with the H&R lowering springs.

305 is a lot of tire!! Springs already on the car? Can’t wait to see it!

Not yet! Intake, downpipe, exhaust and lowering springs are all getting installed on Wednesday. I’ll throw the wheels on after that!

Can’t wait to see them mounted! I have the same wheels (satin gunmetal on red Supra). Also running 305/30/19 and 265/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Fronts could honestly go up to 275, but 265 is a sweet spot. Good choice!

oooo Satin gunmetal was my 2nd choice! Do you already have the wheels or are you still waiting for them?

oh damn, you just joined the forum like minutes ago hahaha. Welcome!

Thank you! Been lurking for like a month and your post made me make an account to reply lol but yes I have them on the car already.

Was never really a big fan of this style wheel on this car, but it has grown on me. I love the color combo. Like you said - hard to beat the price for a forged wheel that not every other Supra out there has.

Hell yeah man good to hear! Post a picture of your car here! I haven't seen photos of this wheel on our car yet! Closest I've seen are Variants Radon from their cold forged line.

I chose this wheel because it is different than what most people do for this car. I got tired of seeing TE37s and split 5 spoke designs really quick. There really aren't many hard, sharp lines on the Supra. Its all curves for the most part. I'm all about contrast, whether big or small. The contrasting design of this wheel with its sharp lines is something I really like. Satin black is a subtle contrast to my gloss black paint. I think I'm really going to love this wheel on my car.

But I've gotta say, the stock 2023 forged wheels are pretty bad ass for a stock wheel. Probably going to keep mine to change out every now and again.

Did you see this post on their instagram? Makes me wish I had gone with the raw milled finish because its just that pretty! Looks like a piece of jewelry. Maybe I need to pickup another set lol ?

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this thread back in Sept. The pre-order price was crazy, I bought a set of Maxim in Gloss Gunmetal for my Hellcat.

Mine arrived two months ago, going to wait until later this year to put em on.

No problem man, glad I was able to pass along the info/savings to you! The preorder pricing was crazy for sure.

Those look awesome! The gunmetal looks to have a lot of metal flake in it, which I like in a dark grey wheel! Definitely share pics of them when you get them mounted on the hell kitty! Now all you need is a GTR to round out The Fast and The Furious trio haha

These belong to my friends from work. Fun to mob around in the modern day F&F cars

Got the wheels on today ??

Color and concave design looks great! Good pick

Thanks Tim! The concavity of the rear is my favorite. Now if only I can dial in the ride height to get the fitment just right. My new H&R lowering springs are disappointing me in the rear, seems like it is still at stock height, too much of a gap with the rear tires. Fronts seem dialed in right where I want 'em

I thought I recalled you saying you’re going H&R and it looks awesome! Give it some time to settle maybe? How was the install on them?
