I'd assume these are chrome??? Not something I would go for... (Not a fan of chrome rims) but if you like them, that's the most important thing...

I do like your TRD brakes... Red on black..sexy!

I like the look, plus I'm bias


Lets get a picture to show how far out the wheels sit (offsets)

Looks awsome. I usually like cleaner looking wheels with as few lines or twists as possible, but you definitely pulled it off. Love the Supra brakes aswell, nice job.

Look good. They enhance the front end with those TT brakes.

Some decent pics from a camera phone. Nice looking car. I agree with Pearlpower, those brakes stand out pretty good on that black car accented with the chrome. Nice job!

Thanks for your responses and opinions. I always get much needed feedback from you guys (n girls). I was going for something a bit more extreme, off the car they looked questionable. But on the car... they keep growing on me more and more.
