Default New shoes are here!

My new wheels are finally here! I'm hoping to get them put on tomorrow.

They're PIAA Rozza Altra, 18x8 front and 18x9 rear (they don't make 18x10s). Finish and chrome on them at first inspection is unbelievably perfect. Front is high disk so I can get the Supra TT brakes underneath.

More pics once they're on the car.

Dave looks really sweet dude.. The mod bug has hit very hard..
Supra brakes will really look outstanding behind those wheels.. Nice choice!

Ok time to post up my pics of my new shoes..

Thanks Santa William!

Nice looking wheels they'll definitely go well with the Supra brakes.

Are they as light as they look?

Supra TT Brakes are in da' mail. Can't wait for it all to come together. I've got silver G2 caliper paint waiting for em and went with the silver cad plated rotors for both front and rear.

I think these are the first set of the Altras to hit the states and I could never find weight for them. I stuck them both on the scale this afternoon and the fronts were 20lb and the rears 21lbs. Not bad, lighter than stock even with that big chrome lip! Of course this was on my Healthometer dial scale. It's large enough to put the entire wheel on it, but you never know if its fully dialed in. Close enough with a 1 - 2 lb swing I'd guess.
