July 14, 200521 yr comment_57836 talking about rims....what the most biggest rim diameter for ke35 could take? width? usually here in malaysia, the rim diameter would be size up accordingly to the engine performance. if I'm using 3k, rim diameter would be what? if 5k? :) Report
July 14, 200521 yr comment_57840 I was almost about to purchase those rims just the other day! I had a choice of three different sets, but it is so hard to get a decent amount of DISH these days...... I was waiting to actually see a set on a car, and there is my answer.... Wheel shop here i come.... They are SWEET AS dude! :) LOVE 'Em......... Report
July 14, 200521 yr comment_57841 Doesn't matter what your engine performance is like. I wouldn't go above a 15" rim for a KE35. Report
July 14, 200521 yr comment_57874 having 17's on the mr2 its becomin annoying, 16's seem the best for these cars unless its a show car or you have to run 17's to clear brakes. I was/am contemplating running flares on the corolla, unsure if its worth it though, plus the car will stand out more on the street with them. Report
July 14, 200521 yr Author comment_57877 Was that price with tires?You need to come and visit to collect your rollaclub sticker Nah, thats just the wheels. Nearly forgot that I asked you for a sticker dude. When could I grab it off you? As for Bolt-on flares I'm undecided, I was waiting for IRALLY to get his on and all cleaned up before I started thinking about getting some but he never got to finishing her off. :) Edited July 14, 200521 yr by Josho Report

July 14, 200521 yr comment_57886 just put 18inch chromies on it, with 225 tyres, then go put a nissan badge on it & get lame supercheap tint and you'll get your mid life kicks in no time.. :) Report
July 14, 200521 yr comment_57889 the minilight style of wheel is made by many companies, performance call theirs "superlites", you may also be familar with rs watanabe's minilights, as seen on the initial d ae86 generally they're supposed to be a lightweight wheel, performance are just cheap ones, but they custom make to any stud pattern and nut type and offset you want Report

There's also "Contessa's" can't remember who makes them... ROH? Not sure... but anyway they're the same sort of thing. Nearly thought about machining a bit off the inside of mine to shed some weight but it would weaken them a fair bit. Edited July 14, 200521 yr by Josho Report
July 14, 200521 yr comment_57894 Oh yes, I would of loved some RS-Watanabe RS8's... wouldn't we all :) alex had a set of RS8s to suit rotor/ke1x2x a while ago, he was asking some ludicrously high price with no offers allowed and some guy paid it Report
July 14, 200521 yr Author comment_57902 Yes, sadly with Watanabes comes a massive price tag. One day... one day. :) Report
July 14, 200521 yr comment_57906 i would rather spend the cash on volk te37s, they make them as small as 13" i think even 10s :) Report
July 15, 200521 yr comment_58105 Volk TE37's are nice, but too many Skyline's have them. Give me a proper set of Minilites any day. And I mean the proper magnesium ones. They won't last as long as many other wheels, but hey, they save weight, and they're the proper thing for any classic car. I'm surprised your rims were only $528 Josh. I would have expected them to be more expensive. If Lola didn't already have 15x7.0 wheels, I'd definitely be considering a set... Report
July 15, 200521 yr comment_58106 Of course a set of Simmons OM-15's would always do. Available in sizes 15x6.0 through to 15x12.0!!! Mmm, dishy. Report
July 15, 200521 yr comment_58107 Alternatively - Simmons F15. Also available in 15x6.0 through to 15x12.0. Report
