You'd be the only one.




.....and it would still be completely irrelevant to how it looks on the car.

These are both subjective statements presented as fact.

me too. i had 275's on the TT wheels and those were a half inch narrower. i wish i could fit a wider tire but that would require major fender work

A roll is mandatory.

The wheels look good and fit nicely. Lug nuts do not.

I'd have probably done the body work and got the damage off the car before buying wheels, but that's just me. I think the car looks pretty good......... but that tag is really throwing it all off. IMO.
I put the Polish plate on because its a real plate from the city where i was born. Its sort of like my bumper sticker for the front in a way. I know usually German car owners do it, but i dont care.

any you are not the only one who doesn't like the lugnuts. i actually like them though, so they're staying for now.

and body work is next. gotta fix the dings and treat those small rust spots that are starting. but hey, wheels were the instant gratification..

i want the car to be able to drive it on the ****ty Chicago roads, so definitely cant slam it. plus, i think the Supra TT struts and Tein springs give it a tasteful drop already

i agree, but BBS's are way to expensive for my budget

Im glad you like them! i think they look alot better than the standard 96 tails. i used red film from ebay. easy to apply and looks great in person. plus, if you dont like the outcome, you can always remove the film

Oh, I agree with that! I love lowered cars on the track, but on the street they can be a real PITA in most of the country. I used to live in Atlanta and the roads were very smooth, so the only time you had to worry was driveways, etc. Out here in the Colorado, you actually NEED some wheel travel or you will never be able to carry much speed in a corner. The newer sports cars with rubber isolated bushings on all the suspension makes it bearable, but you still need some meat on the rims or you will bend every wheel you have. Doh!
Love the weather here, hate the roads.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you use to red out the 95-96 tails you have?

I think they look good on your car
