This thread makes me want another set.
See, I actually think this looks good. It could be lowered just a little bit and look perfect. Super slammed cars don't look right to me, and running at a normal height means you can drive your car anywhere and not grit your teeth in anticipation of every scrape and scrub.

I totally agree with this last post ^^^^^^^^

Just a clean and elegant touch to finish the car off. Thanks for posting the picture.

I would go with no emblems. I think it looks the cleanest and it matches the simplicity of the supra TT wheel.

I was trying to find eibach pro kit springs at the time to lower my car, but they were impossible to come across.

It's funny that you mention the benefits of driving at stock height. The rear tires in that picture were ridiculously tall, so it actually lifted my rear end higher. A few weeks after that picture was taken (and exhaust was removed) my car was rear ended by an IS300. If my car was lowered the damage would have been a lot worse than just replacing my rear bumper cover.

No problem, It's one of my favorite pictures of my car, so I'm always glad to look at it. haha

I vote for the caps with emblems. I had it without when I first got the TT wheels and it looked really generic and bland without the emblems on it. The pic below is when I used to own the TT wheels.

That car is damn near perfect, love that exhaust.

They do look good but I think I like the no emblem look better. I picked up the rims/tires today. Man, was I impressed with these babies. Try to get tires tomorrow to match and correct size!!!! More to come. I will polish these babies up and slap them on. I am so excited about this find!!!

Spacers with extended studs are perfectly safe if you use good quality parts and torque the lugs properly. There are plenty of people running on the track with spacers without issue.

I wish I could find a set of these. I've wanted a set for years but they're always beat up or overpriced.
