Want new wheels. ZRE

Recommended Posts


they remind of rota slipstreams, i cant quite tell what the ones are in the image because it is a bit pixelated.

but yeah if you got it sandblasted and powdercoatd. i think it should look the goods.

as for a selection you can choose from. i shall seek out some that may interest you.

I'd go at least 8" wide with good offset (+30) to fill out the guards.

I found slipstreams in 17 x 8 and 45offset and 16 x 8 too. Cant decide what i want though..Nothings cheap these days..

OR for something different i could drop it another 3" and get these 14x9.... LOVE that look <_<

they do look good but i dont think it would suit the new gen corollas that much. seeing that the new corollas are curvacious and all and these rims are aggressive, solid and boxy rims.

lol thats my opinion anyways. :whistling:

paint your 16s :yahoo:

If i get 16"s then i want them fatter.. Plus stockies in black might not look good,only sportivo rims look good black i think.. Its the best standard rim Toyota ever made..

HMMMM and then again :g:

Been around today getting prices for Kappa rims.. Getting them down slowly though.

Talk about overpriced rims :blink:

If they were Lenso prices i'd get em today..

Seriously thinking about them in 18", should suit my car i think plus now i'd like to keep it ALL Toyota..

Can anyone show me theirs? Camry,Aurion,Corolla doesnt matter. Just need to make sure they'll look good.

Decisions.Wish i could make them :o

Iam very fussy :unsure: or is that troubled :P

Kappas do look nice, but I'd be inclined to stay at 16 and go an inch wider.

(Mind you, the 17s you had looked pretty well at home in terms of size).

Hows this?

The smallest size it comes is in 17x8 though...

Nice but dont like the studs.. Anyway ive decided..

17" Kappas seeing as i kept my Dunlops.. Plus ive always said i only go an inch bigger than standard.and they will be a pain to keep clean but they will

be for my genuine Toyota look,and my play look iam looking at these at Tempe :ph34r:

used but they are 16x7 and remove the red..$400

Ive also noticed that any spokes that go to the end always look bigger,Kappa is prime example..

what you think?

not sure about the centre of that wheel (Tempe photo) dont look right,i think the Lenso range is a good choice,i got mine from Tempe hassel free no dramas.and ya right nothing half decent these days is cheap,but as my mum says SHOES MAKETH THE MAN and i always added that WHEELS MAKETH THE CAR.(lol)

Cool,not really except that the clips are a bit fiddly but take your time so they stick on straight and clean and dry the door frames well.

Most dealers said $1200 for the rims..Cant wait now.. :P
