18 ENKEI RPF1
18 Ruff Racing R280
The budget is very small to none existent and the enkei cost 1100us second hand but with the offset that I want. Seem that as you say will have to save up for a while, the current rim look bad but past that are quite good knowing the history of the car. i spied another set of Enkeis on the forum and awaiting scientist to make contact with the owner lol.

I like the 18 ENKEI RPF1... That's what I wanted to put on the Supra eventually. I have seen them up here on 350z's... They look good, the back rims becuz of the offset has a lil concaved look vs the fronts (lovely).. I think Al has the Ruff's on his Supra .. no?

The enkeis are nice, but I vote Lumari or varrstoen wheels.

9.5 and 10.5 are kinda wide. Really don't need that much width. 8.5 and 9.5/10 is the most I would do. If you go crazy wide, tires will be an issue. You are gonna get rubbing especially on the front. You're also gonna cry about the price of tires. Also, get rims that fit an MK4 turbo Supra. Why, so if you do the big brake upgrade the wheels will clear the brakes.

I am looking at 9 up front and at max 10 on the rear, the offset however gonna be very important. Varrstoen rims are hard to find in the correct offset, also heard passing complaints of them breaking, not too interested in rolling the fenders as yet either. Big brakes is a possibility as the kit for the front is already on island and price given.
Found that the 7 plugs that were installed in the car were dead while the car was at the body and spray shop, car just refused to start, replace them with a set of 6s and turn down the boost by 3 psi. Early impression is that it is just as responsive as when it was at 18 with no cams. I usually judge it by the max speed over a certain distance, and these days I must say I think twice before stomping it so might still be a little better,when 7s plugs that are gaped are installed once more will increase the boost by 3 and see if there is any improvements.
There still are injectors, SLD, new alarm, 3 bar map sensor and turbo kit to install, but feeling rather lazy at the moment and work seems to be in fast forward mode with failure, managing projects at the same time and training.
And Robby thanks for the compliment and the rest of you guys as well.

Whats the price and brand/set up for the brake kit? Why 9s on the front? You can also keep it really simple and run MK4 TT Supra wheels, but they are 17.

Rim Size f/r: 18x9 F 18x10 R
Rim Offset f/r: +37 for front and rear
Tire Size f/r: 245/40/18 Front 285/35/18 Rear
Suspension Setup: Tein HR's
Comment On Ride: Perfectly fine. Comfortable and handles great.
Fender Modifications: None needed. The rear will go another 1/16 inch down and the front can go another 1/8 inch. The rear driver's side seems to be rubbing ONLY over really hard highway bumps, otherwise, it is fine.
Any other comments: The coilovers are maxed, I might have to get softer springs that will initially lower the vehicle more
