quicker pickup and power delivery cos they weigh so much less than stock rims..

also easier turning...

haha nice one...

Well all you need to do next with those.. get lighter tyres.. I like the GIII but they are a heavy tyre...

Since the rims are only like 6kg per corner.. Things to consider to further accel is to replace front rotors with light weight ones.. DBA 5000 slotted 2 piece would be nice!!! they are sooo light..

and the other parts i was talking about yesterday :) shhhhhh

ahaha

Hi T-sport,

Well done, man....very nice.....

Do you mind if I ask how much are the rims and how much are the tyres.??

Nice, looks a bit like my car now  :P

That was exactly what I was thinking... looks like we have a set of twins!!!! Not quite identical though thankfully!!!

Looks Awesome though

I'm not a fan of black wheels but if you are that's cool. Your pics don't really show what the wheel really looks like. They are hidden in the shadows of the wheel arches. Post some more pics with the sun on them so we can see just what they look like and maybe sway my mind in favour of them ;)

neat house, not a stone on the drive. oh and good work on the new wheels!

looks really good .. i've also just fitted 17" wheels

what do you think ???

Looks nice. We got similar wheels on Saturday, but they are gold lightweights. (Black Body)

Problem is, looks a damn sight higher! :(

If you dont mind me asking, has the car been lowered?

if you are reffering to me ..yes 30 mm Eibach pro kit ..not very low but good comfort i guess ...

here's a pic before and after it was lowered

these wheels are also suppost to be light weight ..not as light as the OZ's but at least lighter than the factory ... Gold will be stunning on a black car !!! Let me see some pics as soon as you fit them ....

After quite a bit of fighting with toyota south africa, as my car has a full motor and service plan - i was a bit afraid to lower it - they said it would only affect my shocks warranty and i said cool ....

Now these I like... nothing like polished chrome (at least when it's not overdone) :D

They are actually hyper silver with a polished/chrome lip. Must say the silica tyres are great..
