Default Got the wife some new wheels for her X Type.

Wife wanted to change up the look of the X Type abit so got her some new wheels. Looks more sporty instead of the classy look with the previous wheels.
Thanks to my friend Jesse for taking the new photos.

Here are the previous wheels:




Here are the new wheels:

Looking nice! The old ones were nice but personaly think the new ones are better. Just hope she doesn't pull in to parking spaces forwards and kerb them, LOL. Some TW*T did that with mine at work and nobody admitted it!

Agreed. I actually just recently changed my wheels for some that look almost exactly like the wheels in the first pic. They have a classy look that goes well with the classy look of the car. Heck I even have the same tires

Otherwise, that's one nice looking X. I like the color and the tinted windows.

I like the old ones better. In fact if you are wanting to part with the old rims pm me with a price and where you are located.

I had them listed for sale on the forums and made a post in here but no one jumped on them.
Unloaded them on ebay....sorry mang.


Yea the previous wheels had a much more classier look, but we plan on color matching all the chrome down the road, and would like to install the Sport model body parts to make it look like a sport type. Buy the sport suspension to lower it just a tad and the new wheels will probably compliment that look better.

Nice one Supra.....lovin the new style wheels.

I had the older style ( similar ) on my A6 and changed them to the same kinda design as your new versions. Much cleaner n meaner lookin and way easier to keep real clean n smart too...all good
