SWEET. She looks beautiful. I have only one thing to have pity for you though...and that's cleaning those rims[:'(]. Overall, they make the car look very luxurious.

thanks guys
i plan on going 10% or 15%
i had 5% on the Supra back in the days and i couldnt see a thing at night hehehe

just put the factory CD player...had the tape...cant believe a 2002 car has tape still
easy install with no issues and no code needed

now....should i try lowering to see...i have a feeling the rub issues will be there for sure

I'd like them just one inch bigger for my car. They'd look even better.

Great wheel choice.

I really like them - they match your car very well! I did a quick photoshop for you with about a 2.5" drop - I think it looks really nice!

Thanks sbxt.

I dont think a H&R drop is in the future. I went through a couple of quick and bumpy transitions to test the car. Front driver side rubbed abit. I know if I lowered the car it would probably be too much.
I will probably sell these springs for $120 shipped OBO in the 48 contiguous states.
if anyone is interested please email me at

It looks MUCH better! Are those 17" X wheels, or 18" S wheels?
That's the multi-spoke look I really wanted, but didn't have much luck finding ones I liked for the right price.

we decided against lowering the car with the new wheels

so the springs are up for sale
$120 OBO shipped in the 48 contiguous

all we want to do now is paint all the chrome sections same color as car
rear lip spoiler and a front lip
tint
add a subwoofer
make it look like an X Type Sport

Nice wheels man!

Hey where did you get those chrome covers for your front & rear (red & amber) side markers?

I've been looking for those for some time now.

I must say I never thought I'd think a silver x that wasn't sport would look good with chrome...well I was obviously wrong...

Well spotted gotti
I was too busy lookin at the wheels and just had a quick scan.........It wasn't till gotti mentioned it that I looked back and noticed them!
I'm sure there may be a few members interested in that one?
