Who rox the sawbladz and loves it?

[ValgeKotkas]

I like my blades a lot and i'm gonna keep em, and do the paint removing on my winter package(2nd set)

No matter how you paint them, no matter what tires are on them, they are still sawblades/pizza cutters. Designed in the 80's and they look it regardless. Aftermarket rims or even 91-92 rims on a supra takes 10 years off their age and always look better

[Syris]

what is qft? quit f*cking talking? lol

 

[OneJoeZee]

its quoted for truth. or if you dont like the person I guess it could be quit fucking talking.

but in this case it is definately quoted for truth. replacing the sawblades with even the 91-92 wheels updates the look so much.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

I rocked the sawblades, then I killed them then I replaced them with solara rims, then I got another car.

 

[theKnifeArtist]

i bought myself some MKIV wheels from JDM 1JZ..and then cleaned em up and got them powerdercoated. They're not the greatest but made it look a whole lot better for what they cost.

funny how i've had these rims for like 3 months and still haven't taken a picture of them on my car..

 

[Kai]

Oooh - now those DO look pretty slick. how much did the powdercoating and polished lip cost?

 

[theKnifeArtist]

80 bucks. but if i had the chance to go back i'd do the same but get those MKIV TT 17"s. and make sure it was done perfectly, cuz these wheels i have do have their share of imperfections that just irritate me.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

man, sawblades are good for brunout rubber if you have old sawbaldes lyign around. i know i do. im currentely trying to get away form that POS sawblade crap...

 

[Kai]

$80 per wheel or $80 the set?

Seems the community is split on the sawblade love

 

[Jspec7m88]

Well, I'm skipping all 6 pages just to say my .02....

Believe it or not, What's just as important as having nice, clean rims is having nice tires. Just the way the tire wraps around a rim and the tread design can make a world of difference on how it looks.

heh, it's funny. I get my lips powdercoated when I eat those one doughnuts...

:eek3:

Shut up.

 

[89Turbo]

if new rims didnt cost as much as a turbo kit maybe i would consider saving for them.

ditto!

Lol - thing is though, with a lot of supra's, theres too much needing doing just to get the damn things back to working, daily driver condition all the time, you fix one thing, something else breaks, you fix that, something else will break too.

Rims aren't a priority - they're a luxury!
