dpends if it's a crack in the surface finish, or a crack in the structal part of the wheel. take some photo's, where shooting blind tring to give advise there..
my 88 turbo targa 5spd buildup for drift
- Thread starter stan
- Start date
here's one of them (theres a handful on more than one of the wheels, but this is pretty representative). both shots are the same spot
Call up RBMotoring. Since you just bought the wheels from them, they should do some sort of replacement/reimbursement/repair sort of deal.
They do repair wheels themselves to the best of my knowledge. Call them up.

i sent them an email (they're only open mon-fri 11-7). hopefully they'll help me out here somehow...

looks like someone knew about the crack... some of the paint is scraped away, or was that you?
Just a question.. is the targa roof style body best idea for drift setup, its going to need along more body stabilization then the hard top isnt it? i know my 87 targa twists a little with only front strut brace. planning on getting an A pillar and rear strut brace made up and some point to try stabalize things a bit more.
Interested to see what you do to make the supra more drift happy. ive thought about going this direction also once or twice. but i think im going to stick to straight line speed lol im just to lazy
defenetly going to keep an eye on this tread

woooo RB Motoring FTW! i got new wheels SSR stich 17x8 +15 fronts, 17x9 +17 rears. low low offsets = ownage.
also picked up a jza70 cluster from driftmotion today which i pulled apart tonight. thinking to put the jz tach / speedo / boost gauge into my cluster. also thinking about switching the backlighting on the gauges to blue...

just checked out how the cluster is backlit:
time to figure out how and if those can be swapped for something blue....hmm...

so in true supa dorifto tradition, i'm going to be running those +15 / +17 offset wheels, even if i have to modify the fenders
just finished up installing rear suspension (still have to do sway bar though, got it in and realized it was upside down) except the lower strut bolt on the drivers' side. threw it at the fenderwell last night in frustration and now cant find it
heres one of the rears test-fitted on to check out how it will sit on the car (taken before new suspension was in):
so now the suspension is done, 7mgte is disconnected and ready to pull. this week will be dropping the driveshaft and waiting for aaron to come over to weld up the crossmember to accept the 1jz.

looking good so far stan. i'm thinking you'll be rubbing alot with those wheels. :aigo: I really like how they look though. what's your timeline for finishing?
That is going to sit flush! FTMFW! roll all fenders!

umm.....last week. but seriously, aaron is coming down this coming weekend (hopefully *crosses fingers*) and assuming that happens, the 1j will be physically in the car, and i just have to be hooking up the various lines and wires. pray to the gods of driftmotion that aaron can come next weekend and then i should be well on the way to 1j ownage.
now with those fenders, i'm getting all kinds of answers, so i'll open it up for discussion.
i can:
roll
pie-cut and flare
run mad negative camber (its a drift car so thats ok to do)
stretched tires
what do you guys think im gonna have to do? im hoping to not have to repaint so even if i have to do camber + stretched tires + roll fenders, that would be better than having to flare and respray.
