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!

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:

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.

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.

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 :lol:

Hey mate, are these the same tyres:

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

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.
