Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior TO Mike Lu!

Hey Mike, i just wanna know what wheels do you have??? and the tyres as well if you dont mind.
it looks cool and im currently shopping for some new wheels and tyres for my car.

I have Enkei RS-5 I believe, the tires are 225/40/18 and my drop is Hotchikis spring.

oops forgot that picture you are seeing is when I had the Eibach Proline springs

how much did you get them for??
the wheels + tyres??? i need to know

I got cheap tires but cost me like $550 mounted balanced, as for the rims I baught it off a buddy for $425. So almost a grand.

do you think i can still get it anywhere else in the market outside? because i stay in australia and the fuckin australians dont know shit about all these wheels. All they have are ugly wheels which cost like US$120 a piece.Fuckin ridiculous.
BTW, i'm not aussie. I am just a student here.

thats going to be hard, but Austrailia is close to Japan you can get some sick rims imported from Japan. Not sure where but I thought people in Australia gets great stuff from Japan, I think the first person outside of Japan that has PowerFC was a guy from Australia. I hear Hong Kong has some sick gears too, maybe do mailorder from Hong Kong shipping would not be too expensive from Hong Kong I think.

well australia aint that close to japan... but i would love to order it from them but i just dont know where to search for the wheels catalogue.
I need to find the ones suitable for my car.Any other wheels you recommend besides the one i see on ur car?

by the way, how much did you get the eibach prolines springs for? just wanna compare the price here.Cuz they are selling it here as well but i didnt find out the price.

$200 is the regular discounted price, I got it for like $150. Yes it is hard to order from Japan if you do not understand Japanese, wish I can order some stuff there too. There are a lot better rims out there than mine, mine I baught just to get rid of the wheel gaps between tires and fender. Volks and Advans for example are some light rims great for racing, 18" at 16~17lbs each when everyone else is at around 24+lbs. Imagine all that reduced weight... Wish I had a set of Volks or Advans...

so you were saying its between 150-200 for your springs... is that price for each or was it for the whole set?

hmm volks and advan ...sounds like some expensive shit to me hehe...
so what else do you have on your car that you got them for cheap price...

Hotchikis stuff: camber plate with strut bar + camber links + Springs = $400
frosted clear corners for like $25
Apex-i S-AFC = $200 shipped
TRD short shifter = $125 shipped
everything else kinda at normal price.

yes Volks and Advans are very expensive... like 18" rims only is around $2,000 for set of 4.

It was a whole set when it first came out, could probably get them cheaper now if you shop around.

ohh.. they're pretty expensive eh...
so how much does it cost you to get the one you have on your car? the enkei ones. Enkei doesnt come cheap as well i suppose.

actually Enkei are cheap rims, I only got them because it looks decent and fill up my wheel well. You can even find it on www.tireracks.com [tireracks.com]
I was planning on changing rims again after I get all stuff done on my car.

ermm the link doesnt seem to work

oops its www.tirerack.com [tirerack.com]
