There is no be secret to buying aftermarket wheels. If you don't know the brand name, don't buy it.

As for some brand names that are worth looking into, check out tirerack.com. Also note Ray's Engineering, http://www.mackinindustries.com/md/index.html
anything they make will be very good quality.

And some oem wheels are worth it if you know what to look for. The stock 14" wheels from the 1982 Toyota Supra weighed about 8 lbs. Sadly though the bolt pattern is 4X115.

And one last thing, any of the wheels imported from japan should be pretty high quality, it would be silly for them to import junk wheels from japan.

Another good place to check out is www.discounttiredirect.com. I've bought several sets of wheels/tires from them.

Keep in mind wheels from Rays are über expensive.

I really haven't heard any horror stories about alloy wheels on cars, other than say, the clearcoat peeling or the wheels beginning to oxidizde. That or bending wheels via potholes, but that can happen to the strongest of wheels (ala Rays' Volk Racing wheels).

Many of the less-expensive wheels can be pretty heavy, but are usually pretty strong. Many of the wheels come out of the same factories, but get different centercaps, too. There are actually relitively few wheel manufacturers compared the the amount of brands on the market.

any modded blazing blue car pics (beside toyota ones) out there ??
some one must have one

plushDJ · 05-30-2006, 11:45 AM

how do you put pics on a site?? Sorry, I computer retarded

bikergal · 05-09-2006, 02:25 AM

I am leaning towards this color as my favorite. My last 2 vehicles were silver and I am sick of silver now

ricko · 05-09-2006, 09:31 AM

That Aussie YRX (in DVS' small pic) looks fantastic. I think the front spoiler balances the look perfectly. I wouldn't do anything more to the body. I'll have to see what I can do to get one.

yea thats right i really love the lip and the side!~ i wonder if that would fit the canadian RS?

really wanna know and if so where can i order that?

ricko · 05-10-2006, 08:43 AM

There is a website listed here somewhere (oztoyota.com I think), but I might try to go through my dealer. I don't know if the front bumper on the Oz Yaris is the same, though that MIGHT not matter since it is just a spoiler.

plushDJ · 05-30-2006, 11:47 AM

It isn't as easy as copying and pasting is it??

why? · 05-30-2006, 12:33 PM

No. You have to find a site to host the pic.

I use http://www.theimagehosting.com/
to host my pics.

Then the site will give you a link to your pic, which you paste into the reply window, and that should work.

plushDJ · 05-30-2006, 04:13 PM

woah, complicated. Guess I got some work ahead of me lol

why? · 05-31-2006, 12:45 PM

It isn't that complicated, should only take a minute to set up.

umm trd sticker doesn't make it a trd wheel, but i could be wrong...and why a wider tire on the rear of a front wheel drive car??

Ron · 06-13-2006, 10:58 AM

^ its not a sticker, TRD is embossed into the lip of the wheel.

i have a 195 on the front because i got a great deal on a pair of slightly used yokohamas up front. 205's in the rear because tirerack was selling them for stupid cheap. that 10mm extra width barely makes a difference visually, and the car will not be driven anywhere near the limits. its a commuter car
