Default oops, i did it again... and bought some wheels ;)

...I got another set of wheels to play with. i was not a big fan of them but i got a deal i would be retarded to pass up

so i bought the car two years ago and in the last year i have went through the following sets of wheels:

car came stock on some peeling chrome gretto rollers that screamed hood rich. they were 16" and i think they lasted about a week on the car. no pics since i didnt care to remember them and how hideous they were.

next came a set of mk3 free supra chrome "sawblades"


after that i got a set of 97+ sc300 5 spoke wheels for 50 bucks with tires. you know how they look.

after that i got a set of ssr mech 15" that were flush due to offset. used them as drift wheels.


after that i got a set of supra tt wheels with tires for 300 bucks.


after that i had a set of stern st-2 18" wheels that i never got to enjoy all the way


this is the current set

Enkei RP03 18x10+22 with 255/35/18 Dunlop DZ101 tires

side shot




THE MONEY SHOT!!!


rear fitment


front fitment


a little stretch

a nice tuck


nice and meaty


hey no more BBK clearance issues


close-up rear


close-up front


last one from the front


i think i will keep these for a little bit til i get bored

the front is aloready lower then the rear and the car has a "raked" look to it but i think i will be dropping the front by at least another 0.25".

my sc400 lip should be going on soon too

last pic is from todays CL meet

Quit spending $1300 on sets of wheels and spend $5 on some krylon. It's so easy to just make the bumper a single color. = winner.

I like the wheels, you just seem to be overlooking something....... It'll make it look so much better for a couple bucks. I'm assuming you bought the wheels for looks since bling is too heavy for anything else. If we're about the looks, let's slap some krylon on that thing.
