I've narrowed my new wheel selection down to 4....they will most likely be in 18 or 19" depending on which ones I go with & the price/availability. I've made the photoshops as close to the sizes as I can...the A8's should be a little smaller but I cant be bothered fixing.

Fox R5 (previously had on my Forester & love these wheels).

Dpendin on the theme... They can be sporty, elegant, etc..

All look sick.. I like the 4th personally and would suit best if ur car has darker colour... Not Im saying it'll look bad on ur car, It's just IMO suits better to darker colour..

If i were u.. I cant decide which either..:P Oh yea.. Have each of em to each wheels..:P

Jk jk. Go for the 4th one... Never saw that 1 b4 in any Aurion

Exactly what vf-x said depending on what look you are going for. I went for a 5 spoke rim and i was happy. I think the black 5 spoke one would really enhance all the black on the car if you got some really dark tint. Personally i dont like the Audi ones, even though they will look bigger - as the more surface area a rim has - the bigger the rim looks. But i reckon a bit of dish in a wheel looks awesome from the side.

Mate i know where you are comming from, it took me ages to pick my wheels. Picking a set of wheels is adding your own personal touch to a vehicle. Ive seen some awesome rims on cars, but on the other hand ive also seen some shockers where you think to yourself - what the hell was that dude thinking.

Mate if you want to see some of the sickest wheel designs ive ever seen, go to the gallery in this website link, Forgiato wheels are awesome, id love some, but unfortunately they are about 8K a set. If you have the cash, tempe tyres can get them. Pay particular attention to the mercedes benz's, some of the wheels there are unbelieveable.

Good luck mate.

I attahed a pic of my rims to give you a idea wat 5 grey spoke rim with dish looks like on a grey aurion.

Yeah, I figured. At that height it appears that there is no clearance to turn the wheels. The body kit it has on it seems to be lower than normal, so even at ride height, it would still sit fairly low to the ground.

Air Suspension FTW...

That looks hot, but only @ low..

Doubt it will be THAT hot when it moves...

But the lip looks good...

The grill also looks like a change of pace here :idea:

Dude i wouldnt bother with 18"s- i reckon they look to small. The right 19's look good. And 20's are also sweet. Mate there are heaps of guys on this forum running on 20's. With the right tyre it wont scrub. Mine scrubbed at first but now ive changed my tyre size (and is still load rated), there is not even a hint of a scrub.

If you car is lowered 245/30/20, if it isnt the run 245/35/20 and all will be good.

Schweet.

Im more inclined to go 20" but its the price tag that buggered me, got a good plan worked out now though so it wont be too unaffordable.

Mate if your on a budget definately shop around, try stay away from, jax beaurepairs etc etc (no offense to anyone who works for them), all the mainstream franchise companys, they are way to over priced. The more indvidual companys will do you a good deal. Ive been through 6 brand new cars in the last financial year, and ive brought all new rims for all of them 20's, 22's and 24 inches. You need to shop around to get the best deal, you could save your self 1k compared to mainstream business prices. It is definately worth it.

I put koya's on my car. When i shopped around, i found that they were all buying them from koya itself for the same price but the rim shops selling prices were drastically different. And it was the mainstream business that had the over priced figures.

Comared to one company i saved $800. Thats ridiculas when thinking someone else that has paid that extra $800 could have spent it on more mods, and that overprice was with lower quality tyres.........crazy.

good luck bud, hope all goes well.

A new wheel has been thrown into the mix - old faithful B.boss Eleanors...but these are from the Black series apparently. I think the seller has just coated then in 2k gloss black.

Very Nice Rick, good job buddy. Did the rims come with that red pin stripe, or is that part of your tyre. Looks sweet.

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb
