Didn't Fujimi make some 18inch Work Meisters? Those would look stellar on a Supra. So would so Andrew Racing Goltdish or Andrew Racing Dish. That's if you're going for a showy look.
Maybe Volk Racing Challenges, BBS RG's, or Legamasters if you're going for a more serious look. And, for the record, 19 and 20 inch sleeved wheels look 'effin ridiculous on a Supra unless you radius the wheelwells and flare the fenders. The car ends up either with a monster truck stance you won't be able to get rid of without adding a monstrously tall body kit that'll make the car look tacky and chunky OR will end up looking cartoonish. Your choice.

A nice set of 18's, my 1:1 had 10.5x18 and 9.5x18 BBS LM's. In my eyes the best look for a regularly driven sports car like a supra. BBS designs are timeless really, never get unfashionable. May be able to get similar from a Tamiya Porsche?
Don't do 19+ though, may be ok for a straight line but ruins a supras dynamics, and if lowered causes serious rub on the fast, twisty stuff. Richie

Re: rim sugestion for tamiya supra?
The only 19" I would use on a Supra would be the new Aoshima wheels. Like the Volk TE37 and CE28N. Though a half inch on both sides of the rims may hamper performance slightly in real life those new wheels look way too nice nice on a Tamiya Supra.
