Yeah, like where can I get a set of ET slotted mags?  Back in the day, there were 3 wheels to have, Cragers, Keystones, and ET's.

Yes, I suppose we have digressed....Maybe we can talk Toy into buying a vintage muscle car so he can better appreciate our taste in rims?  ;D

Boys! Settle down!  ;D

Love old cars and had several over the years. Old School wheels just don't go with the cars of today. Cars, like wheels, have changed.

Since the car is Super White either hi-res silver (think BMW here) or silver with a polished lip. (think old school American mags)

Discount tires do have some nice wheels but they are pretty proud of them. Maybe I should do a poll on the two (2) I like. (so far anyway ::) )

You buy it?    Nice cars,  a friend has one.

Of course I can't leave the ride alone! Ordering these tomorrow.  ;)

I remember seeing the first scions when going to pick up a new  '03 corolla. The dealer said they were all kind of set up to do certain performance mods, some available at the dealer (?)!  I thought we should have looked in to one of the toasters but the corolla turned out to be excellent and 40 mpg.

You know any figures for mpg and range yet?

Just put some gas in it yesterday so accurate figures yet to come.

It has the MPG in the dash when you push on the trip odometer. Last time I looked it was 28.9. It has the ECO light so I keep it there just to see what it can do.

I have manually shifted (select mode) the automatic up to 5 grand and that was fun.  ;) It also works great for going down mountain grades.

All in all we love the car. Nice seats, great stereo, dual sunroofs, bluetooth, easy to park yadda yadda.

Dual sunroofs? Only have seen that in a van.

I vote for the Enkei's, either one.  Not crazy about that middle one for some reason....yada yada

Front retracts, rear does not. I saw a nice set at Discount Tire's web site but pricey.

Better to spend a little more on what you really want than to "settle" and have regrets later.

I go to bed around 2000 to 2030 hrs. so up early.

Yes, Cusco strut brace. Had to remove the cowlings, wiper blades and wiper motor but I like the fact that it bolts to all three (3) strut tower bolts. The TRD only bolts to two (2). This was also less money than the TRD model.

What throws one off is the fact that there is no lip on the rim. The spokes go almost to the outside. The Enkei Lusso has a polished rim and the spokes stop short. Also, the Enki is 18 spoke. Bremmer 14. The other Enki has 20 spokes which might be to much.

I keep looking at different white cars to get an idea. I have seen some great wheels on the Chyrsler 300 models. All silver and look real nice on a white car.

Now you can do it too!  ;)
