what rims do you think would suit my car?? Where were you going to get the conversion done? I need someone to do my conversion for free, i dont like my chances. rofl.

If I had to pick, the first set. If I can pick a set not shown, something ridiculously light, something along the lines of a nice Jap racing rim, with killer neg offset. But then you’ll need to do fender pulls, which becomes a pain in the ass.

I’ve been eyeing off a set of some HUGE works mister rims with black centre's for my car, if you can picture my car back at 20mm, with rim hang. Gives me hard on’s, then again I like nasty piggie track style cars.

You want a manual 2j, I want an auto 1u.

Get some figures and get back to me :domokun:

With out a doubt a great idea, but I don’t want a N/A 2jz. They run a dizzy type set up unlike the normal coil packs on the TT’s. And the intake and manifold sides are different, not much of the TT bolt on gear will fit without work. I’m just lazy, you should no this haha

te37s or gram lights or something would be nice but way too expensive...give me other suggestions! Im not spending rediculous money on rims!

Matt, I can’t help with who can do it for “free” lol, it’s not hard to campaign a car for some form of sponsorship though.. Just do a business plan, but for a car. Your dads companies will help HEAPS, has they aren’t small, so work shops could see a benefit coming on board even if all you dad does is just put stickers on the car.

I just used the Silvia, Porsche and my R32 as “pulling power” to get interest… mainly. The R32 was easier then the Lexus, but was still do-able, the unknown worried a few people, as no one knew how the package would work.

AB Flug built a TT 2jz 6 spd Celsior years ago, which worked, ended up running 10’s….

Budget, size, style, wana do body work. Give me something to work with

budget under 2k, 18s or 19s, style (give me suggestions, youve seen pics of my car) I dont want chrome although im sure you already know this. I dont want to have to do body work to fit them under the gaurds!

my 20x10's need a referb, and one has had a minor repair, which could be re done much better. Make me an offer.

They went under my car with 285's with a slight lip roll (R32 stylez haha)

20's = too big and too expensive for tyres!!!

Shite set with tire stretch are $380ea or if you want what I was running they are $1500ea retail, but old mate at tire power said he’ll do trade for $1100ea.

my point exactly too expensive for tyres...i dont want to spend that much everytime I need to change the rears or the set. Hence 18s are acceptable and 19s are a stretch. Im tight and want to spend money on things other than tyres!

Your budge isn’t huge, which is a problem, what about some mild looking “VIP” rims? They normally work pretty well?

Some work emotion’s might be ok in 19’s, white car, bronze wheels.

IMHO I liked the look my car had when it was running big work VS KF rims, may not work on the IS200 though. Maybe photo chop?

i like the work emotion rims the best, im going for a mix of race and class...there are a million copies of those, not the same weight but still look the same.

yea theyre pretty nice....i dont have to have name brand wheels, most of them have been copied anyway. Im mainly wanting something with a style that will suit the car in 18/19s and are made wide enough to take a decent tyre..like a 245.

Unless rims are brand name, I don’t touch them now, those stupid speedy rims I have now are rubbish, they are made in china from very low-grade material, which bends easy on the awesome noosa roads we have. I’ve heard of lots of the knock off’s doing this as well. I guess if your going to run a bigger profile, its ok though..

I’ve spent more then what the rims are worth getting them un-bent and fixed too many times
