Default *Finally found the wheel style i want! Now help me choose!

R1 Racing GTR-4 19X7.5 225/35/19
Hp Racing Evo hypersilver 19X8.5 225/35/19
Konig Imagine 19X7.5 225/35/19

Im leaning towards the R1's. If you think the R1's arent the right choice please explain why or why not.

I can get them all for around the same price (about $1700 with tires)
I just dont know much about companies or what wheel size fits the sc nicer.
Please help me out and dont flame too much lol.

Keep in mind these will be going on either a white, midnight blue or gunmetal sc400 to match the R1 rims (i haven't made up my mind yet)

R1 Racing GTR-4


Hp Racing Evo hypersilver

7.5 is too narrow... 8.5 is more like it...

why don't you try to find something staggered?

The HP look good. And you can go 19x9.5 in the rear. I'll look good.

Out of those, the HP's are the compromise between looks and fitment. And I'm not saying that because I have them.

Black would look best on the white and silver car

HP color would look best on a midnight blue one

but overall regardless of color the HP design looks the cleanest and it is wider which means better handling

225/35 is too small for the 8.5, considering your not running aggressive VIP specs. This is especially true in the rear where the wheel will be sunken in.

We can do a set of MRR GT1's in 18x8.5 / 9.5 with Falken ST-115's for about 1695.00

Let me know if you'd like to pick up a set

Sales@d2autosport.com

Here is a pic of the wheel

Go with the D2 suggestion. Better quality wheel from a reputable shop.

you can get much better used wheels for less than $1700

and $1700 is really expensive for r1 or hp wheels lol

Try to find some used CCW Classics. Lots of Supra's run them so you might be able to find some on Supraforums. They are much better wheels.
