Very nice!
Aren't those just the gunmetal A-Specs? I know you said the dealer had them specially painted but it just looks like gunmetal gray.
The Supra is a car I have always liked, the Twin Turbo cars of that time were very unique rides... the 300Z, the Stealth and 3000 GT and the Supra twin turbo cars were all awesome cars of that time.
Very cool cars.

No they were painted. I have seen the 2004 TL 8.5 in rims next to mine and I really wish that they were just the gunmetal. When I had my car balanced and aligned at the dealership they damaged one of the rims by clipping weights to the outside of the face of one of the rims. This removed the paint in several places and you could see the dark gray beneath it. I love the gunmetal and wish that is what I had.

Look at the pictures of just my rim and tire real closely. You will notice how different looking the center cap color is from the rim itself. I actually put an unmounted 8.5 in. 2004 ASPEC gunmetal gray rim up next to mine to compare the paint differences and I wish I had the gunmetal rims so that the center caps matched perfectly. I would also like the extra half inch width for my rims especially now that I mounted these 255/40/18 tires on the car.
used to have blk 94 supra tt 6spd... couldn't afford 2 cars so sold it and bought a blk TL... nice daily driver but it feels so slow compare to my old supra...

Thanx for sharing! Nice ride. I've always wanted to see how the sidewall looks for the 255 width. I don't suppose you have any issues with rubbing?
