... until I powder coated mine. Night and day. I highly recommend.

Finished my debadging project as well. Opted to roll sans GR badge. Just need to get the color matched blanks for the front orange reflectors.

Damn, today I was actually calling places for quotes lol

How much did you pay to get them powder coated, if you don't mind me asking?

~ yeah I agreeā€¦ the wheels on the 2023 manual Supra look less than exciting. not a complement to the cars design at all.

it would be nice if a great looking set of staggered 20ā€ factory wheels were available as an option.

Good question, I debated it a good bit. Due to the risks of powder coating, I opted to spend a little more with hope that higher price begets higher quality. So $200 a wheel. Let's see if the wheels hold up :)

Two things sold me on the A91. Refraction Blue and Satin Black wheels. If it didn't have the black wheels, not sure if i would have been as enamored as i was with it.

Personally i like the two tone wheels against the silver on my car. But any other color car like red, blue, yellow, etc the two tone clashes with IMO
I feel the same way... I've thought about powder coating, but I think I'm sticking with the two tone...Also, too bad they nixed silver for 2023.

Before I took delivery, I was 100% sure I was going to powder coat the stock wheels black (my car is white) as I thought the two-tone wheels were not great. Once I got it, they have grown on me a lot and now Iā€™m going to wait. I figure let them be new for a while and once they start to get scratched or whatever I can get them coated then.

Plus everyone (my wife especially) always comments how great they look.

Yeh powder coat was definitely a game changer. I paid about 90 a wheels for mine and the guy did a great job. Pays to have a good relationship with the place. Iā€™d highly recommend it. Especially if you can find a cheap second set like I did. Great winter wheels.

I agree with OP 100%.
Wheel design itself is good but the two tone kills it for me.

Same for me as well. I also liked the A91 rear spoiler.
