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:

Is 20x 8.5" too big for an Aurion??

Scrub?

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.

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      It sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov
