i was going to try and cut and piece an aluminum one together to look almost exactly like the stock shape, with the two sides bolting up near the wheel wells and all. after the pieces were cut and laid out i'd take it to a shop that could tig it for me and let them roll some beads into it so it...
up close they look like a light gunmetal. the edmunds pic doesn't show much, i'll try to get a closeup. didnt know if toyota had a color code for wheels similar to bodies
UPDATE: found an ebay pic (apparently this is lexus's hyper silver color)...
hey guys,
thinking of painting the sawblades this winter and i absolutely love the color wheels on the new lexus gx470s. i've got one in my parking lot and i'll try to grab some nice pics on a good day, but here's a reference:
anyone know the color of this wheel (is there a color code...
its been looked at but never seriously undertaken. my undercover is slowly breaking so this winter (starting around dec 15) i'm going to attempt to make one myself. i'll post pics when i do.
i would like to see some pics of the modified wheels!
i would love the 17x9's, but how much weight would it add? and can they make these damn things easier to clean?
i definitely like the 12 front, 6 rear on the flexs. I was about to go with the Tein Super Streets at 16 front, 9 rear but find that these are plenty stiff for a DD. I'm glad they've still got a little give to give me some traction on roads around here
i've loved every minute of my flex's so far. these things perform beautifully. its stiff enough to let me know they're there but not so stiff i need to get my fillings replaced. 12/6 spring rates
abe, are yours the flex's or mono flex's?
hey guys,
I've been putting a few miles on the new flex coilovers and it looks like its settled about all it will. I was thinking of straying from the 8 default setting on the coilovers (1 softest, 16 hardest) and would like some input from everyone.
If I make the compression/rebound...
afm plug was the big one for me. also put the brake caliper brackets on and started attaching the caliper before i realized the rotor's laying beside me. that was a long night.
Probably not. i always thought they went with the 3s to get a near perfect weight distribution. besides, its Top Secret's and its making 700 horsepower :D
hey all,
almost done getting the suspension finished and I was wondering about going with a little negative camber.
with tein flex coils, energy bushings and st sway bars (on an otherwise stock wheel/tire setup) how much negative camber/toe in should i go with for a daily driver? i don't...
