Default New Trd Wheels

So I decided to get rid of 2 sets of wheels to get the TRD Japan wheels , and I couldn’t have made a better decision . The wheels are absolutely beautiful , and ****ting on the Enkei and Stance wheels I previously had on her .

They look awesome! I’ve never seen the TRD wheels before.

I’ve been debating a new set of wheels and I’m leaning towards these STR 908 with the pictured black vapor finish. Has anyone had any negative experience with STR wheels?

Quite honestly I’d stay away from these pop up brand wheel companies . Who knows what the quality is like . I’d stick to the better known brand wheel companies if I were you..

Nice. My wheels are so banged up right now and I'm thinking of replacing them down the road. Where can I get the same ones as yours? Is this a staggered or same on all 4?

I bought these from a guy on eBay , and although 2k sounds like a lot for these wheels it’s a helluva lot cheaper than what the set sells for online which is 5k to 7500. Anyone who pays those prices needs checked into a mental institution. This is a square setup however I do believe they can be bought in a staggered setup as well .. did I mention the wheels weigh 23 lbs each ?

There are wheel reconditioning services out there that can make an old wheel look new again. Plus, factory wheels don't harm the resale value as some/most aftermarket ones will.
A service near me, I saw a set of AMG wheels they did for a friend of mine. Cost him a little over 400 bucks and good as new. They used quality clearcoat (made for wheels)
on them when repaired. Theses particular wheels are somewhere around 6-7K a set new. So you do the math.

I know it's not why you posted, but what did you do for your calipers? Is that a wrap or powder coated? If a wrap, which one did you use?
