<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (silvertibbs)</div><div class='quotemain'>My 17s are heavy, not Chrome heavy, but not light in anyway. It's not just the weight you will have to deal with either. Centrifugal Force also comes into play. Dragsters have small 14" wheels and like 20" of rubber to get traction. A smaller wheel will throw the power to the tires better than a larger wheel.

All in all I like the look of 17s vs. 16s Just fills everything better IMO.</div>

I agree with Silver....17's with lowering springs...fill up the fender weld perfectly...

My rims are ROTA's, Had them on my civic, So Im not even sure they fit? Pattern looks the same though! So hopfully.

Also, I sold the supra because the older models like I had are just too damn unreliable...

Man I agree with the unreliableness of the older year Supra's. I was going to get a 1991, eventually have a twin turbo set-up, and found a 10 piece body kit that makes the 91 Supra look so damn good! It seriously reminds me of a F1 when i look at the pics. But those dreams are long gone, and I'm happy with my somewhat reliable tiburon. I almost ended up getting a 1987 Supra for CHEAP but it was just too old. I liked the test drive and all, and woulda bought it but then I found my tib.
What are your plans for the future? power/engine-wise?

Plans powerwise: Just have a nice street setup-low 14's N/A, But Im gonna have to research and see what needs to be done to do so with this car.

Appearance: Lower it and maybe some rims. Thats all, dont like body kits too much
