Any particular reason for this brand loyalty? I had OZ Salina's on my Supra before, but it was overweight, and now when I look at wheels, it's gotta have lip. I'm a Work guy myself, but don't mind Fikse, CCW, and a few Rays wheels here and there (although they've all been knocked off and played out).

You can run 17x8 and 17x9 +35 and clear easy with those tire widths, without even rolling fenders.

I've always driven heavy cars, and to me the 2-piece look (no bolts/rivets) is better suited for lighter cars, versus 3-piece for heavy ones, but that's just old school mentality. The Volk GT-7 would be like a 3-piece version of the OZ that you like:

My favs of all time include the Work Equip,

and the original Racing Hart C2:

Hehe, I think this thread shows that you are in the minority, but of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I wouldn't rock the AB Flug kit; it doesn't fit my personality, but I think it looks pretty cool, and the pic was supposed to highlight the WHEELS! =)

The various styling cues of the 4th gen Supra took a while to grow on me, but I'm at a point now where I associate the unique shape and styling with the fact that even if the intercooler upgrade were its only mod (like my friend's '94 automatic, which dyno'd 380 rwhp), it would still beat a C55 AMG nastylike.
