What did you do to your Supra today?

[freeform911]

Ordered some more carbon stuff today (interior) and picking up some wheels/tires tonight! You guys think 4 wheels and tires will fit in the Supra? Kinda mad at my normal DD right now as it decided to blow the pipe off the turbo on my way home last night. Havent driven the Supra since Friday so I am looking for an excuse to take it out....

Absolutely not...
Not at the same time anyways...lol

Good luck

You could probably fit one in the passenger seat and take 4 trips

You guys really dont think 2 would fit in the trunk? Too wide I am assuming? I would pull the cover off to help. Then 2 in the front seat? Ok fine, I will take my beater instead. No way am I making 4 trips out there!

Edit - I should have mentioned that the tires are mounted to the wheels. Not sure if you guys thought I meant 4 wheels and 4 tires separate.

On another note, I just got a shipment of ARP stuff in and saw this.

I'd suggest you look at the tire and then look at the trunk again. I can only imagine one tire/wheel fitting and it would be in the passenger seat

The car is still at the shop. Rear is going to be raised a bit. Here's a better look at the brakes and suspension work. I love the MRG stud conversion. I can't wait to see them on the SSR SP1s.

Very nice!! I’d like to do upgraded rotors like yours but keep the OEM calipers for appearance.

This is slick! Where’d you order it from?

You can customize the wheel to your liking. Takes about 3-4 weeks to produce, ship and arrive in the US. Very well made. A perfect experience.

Man, I love how those studs look. I’m tempted but I’ve heard bad things about using titanium studs.

As have I, lots of bad things. The main problem is that titanium is stronger than steel by weight, but not by volume. This means the titanium studs are weaker than the steel studs they're replacing, and I've seen numerous cases/claims of them shearing off when under load. That means no racing, no launching, etc.

Car looks amazing! What size tires are you running?

Yep. I’ll keep searching. I’ve seen some zinc plated ones by Mevius.

Any particular reason why you didn't just powder coat the stock wheels? That's what i planned on doing to mine.


Getting this installed tomorrow morning! I got the black tips but I kept them in the box they came in. I've seen numerous videos of the touring system and I love the way it sounds. Already have a catless downpipe so I imagine this things gonna be loud as fuh.

Also thank you Extreme Powerhouse or AWE for expediting the shipping! Arrived in two days after it was finally shipped! (I ordered this back in the beginning of April)

Couple reasons I went this route. I figured by the time I powder coat the wheels, have them dismounted, remounted and balanced, it would cost somewhere around $400. I can now sell the tires (guy at work wants them) and sell the wheels, keep the TPM sensors for my other set of wheels and should only be out of pocket $100, thus saving me $300 and now have brand new tires and a set of sensors. Old tires had 4 days of auto-x on them.
