Finally!!! Baby's got new shoes!

[supraguy@aol]

Well, After rolling along(not so smoothly) for the past 12 years on the same old Mille Miglia's- stock size, mind you- I decided she deserved new wheels.
So i ordered a set of XXR(Sportmax) 502's in chromium black. Problem was that when they arrived...the fronts and rears were two very different shades:

Problem:

I emailed the distributor, and he took the old ones back at his expense, and replaced the lighter-colored ones with a proper set. Unfortunately, I did have to wait 8 weeks. So here's what they look like now:
Old and busted:

New hotness:

Here's a fitment view- the rears are as far out as the wells will allow:

And a profile shot:

I just got them on 15 minutes ago- haven't even driven on them. By the way,
the wheels are 18x8.5 front, 18x9.5 rear, 235/40/18 fr., 265/35/18 rr. Offset is 35, front and rear. Hope you like- I think it's a hella lot better.

Looks good! How noticable is the color difference once on the car?

The color difference? If you're talking about the shipping error- two wheels being lighter color- No. As I said, I shipped them back and got them replaced. If you mean, how does the chromium black match up to the paint color- well, it's pretty much right on.

My bad I was talking about the shipping error. I didn't see that part. I like the offset.

wheels look alright if you like that style, but the TRD decal made me LOL

 

[toy4tao]

How much for your old wheels?

 

[Mk3runner]

thats sweet looking.

LOVE it! How much of a lip is on each of them? Do you mind saying what these cost you? I have seen these in magazines, and they fit what I have searched for forever. But, I have never seen them in the correct offset, and haven't looked in detail at them yet. My quest started back when my car was Grey. One day, I guess.

They are nice looking wheels. Just dont drop anything or lugnut on the lip areas. They dent real easy.

Nice. Def. better than what you had before. But you should have joined the 9.5 all around club. LoL..it fits..trust

 

[karlmk3]

i have to say i like the old ones better. polish them babys up sexy how much you want for them

They look damn good for 'cheap wheels'. Just lose the TRD sticker, and lower the car about another 1.5". The neg camber you pick up, will tuck those rears just fine, trust me!:icon_razz

 

[supraguy@aol]

Well, as for the TRD sticker- that was put on the car in like 1996, so...forgive me!
And someone liked the 16x8 Mille Miglia's....better? Aside from the curb rash, chipped paint and 16x8 size....ok. Anyhow, I will be getting a 4 wheel alignment today or tomorrow, and will add a touch of negative camber.
And yes- it's an original Kaminari rear wing. I have pics of it and it's installation in here:
