They look pretty small in terms of diameter. Great pics as usual.

Thanks for all the comments, guys. The wheels are 17x8 and 17x9 with +38 offset all around. I am, however, running 3 mm spacers in the front and 8mm spacers in the rear. These spacers were used on the SSR's too. The SSRs are sold to vsamoylov. I am selling my lip in the near future. If anyone is interested, just contact me. I am also looking for some Progress springs.

on the blitz wheels. but im not so sure they fit the car in style or size. maybe its because i am so used to seeing them on supras. don't curb them, those are tough to get your hands on.

I have never curbed a wheel before. The four wheels were extremely curbed when I bought them. It took me 2.5 hours to take out the stratches, another hour to take out the rust and 12 minutes to put them on. So if I ever do curb them, it will be an easy fix. About the size of the wheel, I think with a greater drop, the wheels will look much better (especially in the front).

Before (all four wheels similar in terms of scratches):


After (same wheel):


EDIT: I just remembered that I curbed my friend's wheel once, but I fixed it for him.

Yea, the Maxspeed drop is too minute. That's why I am looking for some Progress springs at the current time.

Wheels look great! You're right, with a better drop it would look 100x better. Why not coilovers?
How did you repair the wheel? You did a pretty good job of that.

Tire shine?

Wazzup what did you use to make your tires shine so good??? I use eagle shine and when I spray the tires with that the grease is all over the car. I see your car is still clean after driving, so that's why I thought I might ask. I don't wipe the grease though after spraying.

looslip- I don't have enough money for some coilovers...

godlyone- I sanded with 60 grit to get the major scratches out completely. After that, I wetsanded with 400, 800, 1000, 2000. After sanding, I polished with Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish.


shurik- I use eagle shine too. I use a normal applicator pad (for wax, and the like) to apply the gel. I don't apply that much because of the excess getting onto the paint.

Dont like the rims too much, and they do look small in diameter, but the pics look great and the car definately looks clean. You must have had a good camera to get awesome pics like those!!!

I guess these rims are an acquired taste. The people that are familar with the rarity and history of these wheels will appreciate them. IMO, they look better in person than the SSRs, which I must say, look clean but a little plain.
