I had debated using the magnesium wheels as track wheels but the money to repair any damage and the fact that I would hate to damage rare parts means I would love to see them sold and cared for rather than abused lol plus I doubt a set of 19" TE37's would come up often so I had to grab them instead.
Ash if I were to use a set of wheels for the track it'd be those aluminium ones you got on the car now.
I think there very similar to the ones that are on the orange CCSP race car IS-F.
Sadly I'm a bit fussy with OEM parts as I think you would be too in terms of looking after items.
I can't bring myself to use the BBS as track wheels, I'd rather risk/curb/damage the TE37'S than the rare wheels. Plus then I can go TE37 SL like your amazing set!

Beautiful car, I'm totally jealous! Those shots from the rear look bada$$

and the Mg forged rims (although they're not Mg, but you can tell all the details are the same, and this is the only company I've come across offering Mg rims): http://www.tws-forged.com/tws_exlete_118f_mono.html
If you're ever feeling bored, feel free to measure the width and height of that wing front and back :P It might be a good reference for those wanting to use an aftermarket wing since the TRD wing was wind tunnel tested.
Good luck with the sale of those Mg rims, I'm not sure many can afford them, but don't let them go for cheap!

I think you are correct, I couldnt find any markings on the wheels after looking at them just now, the stickers that are usually on the barrels are not there so I cannot confirm what brand they are but I believe your findings are right.
I will measure the carbon wing tomorrow after work and post the measurements for you guys.
Thank you for the kind words, I will have some clean up pictures of the diffuser for you guys to see the weave and workmanship along with the part number should anyone need it.
So a few days ago I pulled off the rear diffuser to clean up and snapped some pictures. Here is one while I will upload the rest after work. Very light and beautiful

No surprises there Ash I remember when I got my TRD bonnet for the Supra a decade ago and It's figment was spot on.
Much like that diffuser its OEM quality.
Its pretty much what I'd expect from TRD personally.
Unlike most aftermarket diffusers bonnets and such is the TRD stuff is wind tunnel tested and proven aerodynamically to work
Not like a lot of the aftermarket stuff which is look good first aero benefits who know's.
I wan that diffuser.....I may have to fly to NZ and take it 😛 jk really wish their parts weren't so expensive. I don't remember the exact cost but I remember it being ungodly for a piece that small.
The diffuser is really nice. A few more pictures, I finally cleaned the leather interior and while the physical damage is still in need of repair I managed to get the dirt/stains out rather well. I will go over the leather later down the line another time to give it another deep clean but for now I am letting the conditioner take care of the cleaning product.
I used the Meguiars APC dilution 11:1 just because I was worried I might damage the leather. I repeated the application on a damp microfiber cloth a few times due to the dilution being a little weak but it worked like a charm. Wiping down the seats with APC to remove light dirt followed by a Meguiars interior bush with some APC on it using a gentle but firm scrub followed by a final wipe down with APC.
Been a bit busy with work and photography but anyway I managed to get a set of TE37's as my track wheels in preparation for the upcoming track day on December 13th. I was very hesitant to use my OEM wheels for fear of damaging them so the TE's are a welcomed safety measure. Will be cleaning things up as time becomes available but for now it is very
busy.
