Ohh okay cool! Those are the springs im currently running. I might have to steal your idea if you dont mind lol

No problem I was just trying to find a cheaper solution to put forged, lighter, and wider wheels on this car.

Just machine the CB to 67.1, here it costs $75 a wheel (retail) to do.

Honestly, these advertising types just crack me up. "Forged billet aluminum" is like saying "Fried steamed rice." Yes, forged wheels can start out with a piece of "billet" aluminum, just like fried rice typically starts with steam rice. However, most folks in the wheel business typically refer to a wheel being produced via 3 manufacturing processes: Billet, cast, or forged. See here for detailed explanations: The Difference Between Cast, Forged and Billet Processes

So, when you buy an aftermarket wheel, you will typically choose between a billet wheel, a cast wheel, or a forged wheel. Just like you'd order either fried rice or steamed white rice. Nobody ever goes to a restaurant and order "fired steamed rice".

I supposed it's just like mfrs and purveyors referring to flow-formed wheels as "flow forged", no doubt to make it sound more impressive than it really is. Technically, that's incorrect, but I see it said/written so commonly, it's not even worth calling them out any more.

Supra! Those are sharp wheels. And you taught me a few things about fitment finessing I didn't know.

There is a set of 3.0 Premium Supra OEM wheels for sale here locally for $850, which is cheap for forged wheels. 19's aren't my thing, and even if they are the 18's, once modified, it's a bit too specialized an application IMO. OEM GR Supra Premium 3.0 wheels $850

I ended up doing 255/35 up front.. the 245s were a little too much stretch compared to how the rears with 285/30 looked

I do have a few Supra wheels for sale if anyone is interested.. PM me!
