trav_555 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 O ok, get itbs for sexy noise :dance: There nice wheels, big wheels, i dunno, can lok good IF done right. Travis Quote
Roo Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 engine = win, wheel = fail get some nice jap 14inch wheels, don't go any bigger then 15s. them rims would be to heavy for a light rolla wait a couple of months and you can buy my meshies :dance: Quote
dbr11k Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Posted May 24, 2009 mate would kill for your ssr's but jap rims are just so effin expensive besides, only want the big rims for show i love the rice look lol 14s to slide on Quote
bLinded_ Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 Roo's right on with the rims. With an 80's corolla you will probably get better attention with a nice set of 14 or 15" rims than some oversized, overweight, 16+ wheels. Just hang off for a bit longer and save some coin. The price for import rims will fall when the dollar picks up. I previously got a pair of 15x8.5 ssr mesh from Japland to my door for $430. Big rims don't work on little cars and little wheel arches IMO. Sure on a bigger car they work, but yeah, stay <15" :dance: And good move on the engine though. Should be good when it is in. Quote
dbr11k Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Posted May 25, 2009 naaaa ill just go 19's maybe 20's get it tubbed out and shit Quote
southslide Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 spewin bout the defect! haha u aint serial bout the 19-20" i hope. i say go chrome bumpers n some nice oldschool jdm wheels. i would think by the time u buy those five spokes n tyres for them u'd spent asmuch as u woulda buying some second hand jap wheels with good rubber. imo. that aside i can't wait to see this thing all done! sounds the goods so far.

dbr11k Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Posted May 28, 2009 yeh na .. no 20's here lol but i am serious about the 17's , just want something nice and shiny to cruise on . 14s or 15s to slide on :P and cheers for the compliments Quote
southslide Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 yeah fair anuf for cruise wheels haha it did look fair cool slammed on the chromies i must say. Quote
Victim Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 gotta admit, not exactly to my taste mate, but i think that's just your chromies dragging you down. I love the colour purple though, especially when paired with black, looks the absolute tits. I'd do it for you in Photoshop, but i no longer have my dodgy cracked version, but if someone on here would be kind enough, photochop some black watanabe's on that bad boy. Would look gnarly with the purple paint. But good to see you're now returning to the land of the wheel-wise, haha. I wish you all the best of luck in your decision. Quote
e70driftpig Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 Love the colour! I have a S2 rx7(for sale)painted the the same! looks tops! chuck some FAT 14"s on that bitch! josh Quote
dbr11k Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) ah yeah .... would think that black wheels look gaaaaaahey on such a dark car but any ways... each to there own ! i like big rims and thats all that matters ... and like i said before ther just for show i have 14s on it at the moment forgot to put these pics up the other day of how i got the motor home lol sorry about the shitty pics it was 3 in the mornin and i didnt have a camera Edited May 29, 2009 by dbr11k Quote
