I was gonna say.. $5K for TEs for your Supra... is not gonna happen. Frikken people want $4500 for their 16X7 4X100 TEs like WTF lolol....

What I would do for a set of Blue Volks for my model 3... I think there are a few sets in Vancouver and last time when they were for sale, they all wanted like $6000-$7000 (with tires, but still)

I found one place with discontinued pressed graphite 19" TE37 SL for the Supra and they're $3795usd... so a bit over $5k... I'm not going to get them though, that's a stupid amount of money to spend on wheels and like donk said TE's are so played out its not even funny.

I'll never understand the obsession some people have with paying obscene money for "real" wheels.

^ Me neither, people act like there's some kind of mystery to making wheels... I mean, there definitely are manufacturers out there with dubious quality control and spokes that break, but they are few and far between. Others are heavy as fuck, but that's a personal choice I guess.

Ironically, the most well documented recent cases of those occurrences that I can remember were on HRE wheels, which are some of the most expensive wheels on the market.

I'm looking at stuff that's in the $2k range... like more expensive than an Enkei but less than, say, even a Rays wheel. Honestly I would buy a Rays 57DR right now if I could, but these are the colours they are currently available in:

Bronze:

Gun Blue 2:

Like what the fuck is that? Why can't I just get a simple lighter or medium grey wheel? And don't be fooled by the stock photo, Gun Blue 2 is NOT grey, it's totally frickin blue, this is Gun Blue 2 in real life on a Supra:

None of these colours would look good on a blue car... MAYBE the bronze but I'm not personally into it... the choices are so blehhhhh

Superspeed makes Advan/Rays like reps for much cheaper, and are still decent quality.

Costco makes wheels. Get those for your soup rah

I tried for my ratrolla. No bueno.
Will get some for the Camry.

Even them, the RF06RR is the same as the 57DR, Superspeed only makes it in white, bronze and flat black. That's it.

In fact, in supra sizes... only flat black and bronze. It's bizarre.

I feel insulted -- they only showed me a bunch of 14 - 16" steelies LOL~

They got some interesting looking wheels for the Camry. 160 bucks each !!!! Excellent

Since you are now 5x112 :troll:

Owooowowowowo ufo looking wheels

I'm running Titan7 right now, no complaints. I was looking into Apex forged as well. There's a few more botique forged wheel brands that are decent. You can even run M3 wheels

Good luck keeping them clean though

As theres a lack of mods for the C7, when i was away on vacation i designed rear window grilles in photoshop. Plus a render on the C7 to see how it would look. Brushed aluminium ACM

Image below is photoshop, not actual product on car.

A few months later i reached out to some CNC shops, got pricing, and revised a new file, product showed up. 1/8" aluminium ACM.
At the time i was not sure why the edges are all rough, but turns out the CNC shop messed up. I sanded them down, and taped off the backsite

Test fit onto the car with just a few bits of tape holding it on, and the honeycomb poking out

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a7f09eda_b.jpg

Looked kind of rice / mismatching, so i took it off and repainted gloss black. Havent painted in a while and went way too heavy on the first coat, a couple of runs :pokerface:
Let it dry for a few days, wrapped it in clingwrap when placing on car as its still curing, slapped it onto the car.

Final product came out pretty dam good, im still debating if i want to get it redone in regular aluminum sheet and get it properly painted.
May also resize the file to match the window lines properly, i had to guess the dimensions, you can see the edges dont match up exactly.

I was worried the ACM would be too thick, but you cant even tell its on the car from a distance, only in daylight you can somewhat tell its there. Well and up close its obvious.

Final product:

Why are you trying to turn your car into a mustang:troll:

I've been encountering the same thing. Gunmetal isn't a thing anymore apparently and all these manufacturers, including big names like Enkei are making everything in gloss black. Gloss black is the worst colour! You can't see any of the design, might as well drive with steelies.

Did you try sendcutsend? Haven’t priced it myself but trying to get something laser or water jet locally is a joke.

I mean you cant blame local shops, any of those places pretty much have a 2hr minimum + 75-200$/hr shop rate + material mark up

Il take a look into sendcutsend if i do a second run and its no good from local shop

Local shop was CNC604, their rate was 1/3 of my usual sheetmetal fab shop i use for work

Superfastmatt on YT uses SCS a lot. He's also sponsored by them so there's an incentive to do it, but you can check out at least the quality of work he's getting.

Not to mention gun blue 2 is impossible to refinish. I have a set and might just send them off to get redone in a different colour.

Needed to replace my oil fill cap on the valve cover. Followed instructions to gently pry off the oil fill cap, ended up breaking one of the 3 tabs holding the cap in place. The new cap goes on fine with just 2 tabs and the cap can turn shut, but I guess the seal isn't great and I get mad fumes in the cabin now.

Fucking plastic BMW valve covers man. Gotta replace the whole fucking valve cover now when it's not due for replacement yet.

Did some wiring repair with shiny new OEM parts, swapped the door lock/latch and drowned the new one in silicone spray, and finally tossed on the wing extension that's been in my basement for like 2 years.

REBEL SCUM!

What about a silver wheel? Think OEM BMW / ARC8 silver. Can't go wrong with classy silver wheels.

If TE37, then Formula Silver/Mercury Silver With brake dust, it'll be gunmetal lol.

Or white wheels on a blue car would be sick.. but very LOUD. Kinda like Thomas' white on white bmw LOL.

Also AdvanGT is the new TE37

^ They don't make Supra size in Formula Silver anymore, otherwise I would have bought it... out of production for 2 years now.

They do make it in some brilliant silver or something... it looks like flat white/silver, it's not great... super plain. Also don't want TE's because played out. You're right, a lot of Supra guys run Advan GT's... they're okay, but I don't personally feel like 5 spokes suit the car.
