By the way, I took the liberty of installing the TRD blue sways (removed the sportivos), some phillips D2R 6000k bulbs, some M4 superwhite wedges.


By the way, my front offset completely cleared the supra TRD calipers! So my new DSR will be no problem too!!!!!!

ahahah you guys crack me up. I got all this stuff sitting around here for a long-*** time and I only managed to put them on one at a time as I can find the time to. I've been waiting for these wheels however for a looooooooooong time and I couldn't wait to put them on.

To be exact, the finish is polished and the measurements are 19x9 +36 high disk up front and 19x10 +24 superlow disk at the back. Rominl told me it would never fit and I guess he was right in a way. If I drop my car another 1/2 inch, I would either need to switch my tires to the crazy superstretched 245/35 tires in the back or my car would rub very badly. As you can see from the side profile, the edge of the rear lip is already flush with the fender.

Remember, my car is still slammed, it's just not crazy low like how the Japanese have their cars set to. Besides, like I said before, any lower and I would have to worry about a lot more things on my undercarriage (downpipe, exhaust, anti-rust layer, lower chassis....) than just tires rubbing.

Anyway, I rode with 3 other adults today, slalom my car around at high speed with full load and have not experienced any rubbing. It could be my HKS LS+ set at the stiffest setting or the new trd blue sways that helped quite a bit, but all in all, I am very very happy I made the decision to go with this.

Hey, I can get -50 offset wheels to fit any car too so long as you don't plan on lowering it.... The rear end looks like a 4x4.

+24's are way too agressive (even in 19") unless you don't plan on lowering the car and don't plan on having people in the rear and don't plan on hitting any bumps or dips (unless you have stiff suspension)....I wouldn't be surprised if the lip was able to hit the fender. Of course, you can cut the fender to help out your situtation...

Great looking wheels but why the ridiculous offset? They didn't have a +36 rear?
