[LEGEND888]

damn! would love to see this car in person ey! :) so niceee... :D

[-DAvo]

ok so after a week of sitting in the sorching sun and getting smashed by all sortsa rubbish from the main highway my car is parked near by, i decided to give her the royal treatment yesterday.

(see attachments at the end of the thread)

then i went in hunt for a nice carpark to try out some "carpark" shots, and what would you know, those swedish dont only make awsome cheap furniture, they also have a nice big open car park for me to use! thanks IKEA!

please lemme know what you think, and which one you like best. im sorry for the mass photos, was a bit trigger freindly last night :P

sweet pics man... IKEA car parks are good, but you should go somewhere pitch black and try some long exposure shots with a light on the car... they seem to work a lot better than the lights in a car parks at night...

just a personal preference in photos though... :)

my fav one is this one:

Picked this up the other day from Toyota... 1 down, waiting on the other 3 to arrive soon :)

Sweet. You even made a wheel look completely hot by taking a good photo of it. Now I really want an SLR. Ahhh, so good to see a Kappa in great condition considering the last one I saw was split in two.

I bet you're getting impatient for the others.

Go sit it next to your car :D

cant wait to see them on your car.

Any luck with the pic Davo, i rang the dealer today and x4 18x7.5 will cost me $1680 :( he said if i rang a few months ago i could have got them alot cheaper as there was a set sitting around that could have got a good deal on.

sorry been a bit lazy with the car still masked up.

i did photoshop a pic of what it will look like thou. minus the dirty tires (tsk tsk daryl!! :P jk )

... minus the dirty tires (tsk tsk daryl!! :P jk )

If you were doing a mountain run in the wet, I'm sure that:

1) You wouldn't want any tire shine near your tires, and

2) Your tires would look like that afterwards.

:P

Hey mate, are these the same tyres:

http://www.carsales.com.au/Tig/UI/PagePopu...tsrc=allcarhome

How much were they? Are they genuine Toyota wheels and for the Aurion or were these originally for another car like TRD?

Yea mate, -DAvo said he picked em up from Toyota. So It's safe to assume it's Toyota genuine. I think this is optional. You'll have to pay extra for a set of these when buying a car off a dealer. If you're asking if the tyre is the same, I've no clue. If it's the rims u talkin about, It's exactly the same IMO.
