LOL At this page. No doubt it looks good. But SL has the weirdest fanboy boner right now.

mmmm boners....

hhahaha.

No worries mark. I'm not saying im running crazy aggressive specs.
As long it makes me jello lol im happy.

^ coo Tom just wanted u to know. Not trying to start a war..

The internet has desensitized everyone. Nothings ever good enough now in the sea of online build threads. Everyone just tries to one up each another.

Offset is everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol jk

If you're not running Luxury Abstract wheels on your tC you're doing it wrong nowadays.

True Story.

Buy my air ride! :biggrin:

im sorry but most of the full faced "luxury wheels" dont even look good on the tc... alot of people get them just because of how expensive they are or were. People hardly do things because it looks good anymore. It kinda sucks because people who do have a good setup dont get the respect they deserve.

^true.

Dude mmmpssh you made any progress re doing those wheels I sent ya?

I said f*ck it. Went out and installed air-suspension and had my Rotiforms painted penny-copper in the last couple of hours. Yeah.

Jasper did you photochop that? ~.~
If not it looks sick man.

thats a PS image....if not thats some funky looking shadowing LOL

It's a photoshop. Wanted to see what my tC would look like on bags. And I've been thinking about doing that color wheels but idk how anyone can get the proper finish as pictured.

I wish my wheels where here! :(

theres a powdercoating in tampa or orlando i believe that does excellent work....they qouted me 500 to powdercoat my grids in gloss black....I just got my buddy who paints for a living do them for me instead....Im thinking of doing soething with red on the inside lip of the grids tho. Havent decided what yet tho

ooh... that copper would look sick!

wow Jasper do it!

looks sick jasper

love the color... I might have to steal that idea/color lol

Hayseed, pm'd you on the wheels. I really wanna keep em but I cant find anyone to do the work the way I would want it around here...

It's color changed over the machine finish. Thats what I like about it. If they were painted copper it wouldn't look as good.

^ wouldnt a metallic give you the same effect? or a flat metallic?

Nice photoshop jasper, I've been trying to find a shop around here that could powder coat or anodize wheels for the better part of a year to do a penny copper color. They all say yes and when i see a sample it looks like a burnt orange color.

Maybe anodized would do it?

jasper, check your pm!

new wheels on the way! <3

Thanks for the heads up, man. I'll give it a shot.

what did you get?

Style 5's

my old style 5's to be exact

I thoroughly enjoy those wheels. Just wish they were a bit wider. Nonetheless, can't wait to see how Irish does them.

Considering re-barreling them. Gotta look into it more though. Regardless, they are going to have the faces re-painted and the lips redone.

Harrison, this is 2 sets of your old wheels i have owned now lol

Lol I know and whats funnier is that you havent ever got them directly from me lol.

So I was offered a trade for my alphards:
http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n92/pauvneksqb14/IMG_0242.jpg

Specs are 17x8, 18x10 and it comes with a 17x8 spare, 18x8.5 spare, and a 18" spare face. I'd plan on re-lipping both the fronts and the rears. Thoughts? Keep the Alphards?

Mitos are ok. I've always liked Alphards though. However you could use the Mitos to leverage a trade next time around being that they're multi-piece.

^Exactly. I think he's nuts to trade me 6 and 1/3 wheels for my alphards. Idk I'm kinda torn.

thats tough, i wanted to see Alphards on a tC... And honestly, those Mitos' do nothing for me

I say do it. Because I still want to do the Alphards. :)

i was thinking about doing Alphards before harrison bought them...Bastard...

Lol you guys... Kyle you'll probably get mine in some roundabout way.
Jasper, hows about I run them, then we trade? Deal.

Theres a set of 17x9.5/11 Gotti's (like Futuras) fs on vwvortex... Damn guy wont trade. I really wanna do 11's at some point.

I won't want them after someone's had them lol. Btw, I went back to coilovers and re-painted my wheels machined finish.

Do you know if Work Equips with the DDC can be rebarreled?

They can. I had mine completely apart.

http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5186/5607825721_c3348704fb_z.jpg

how big of a PITA is it to take them apart?

Taking them apart is pretty straight forward. Just take the bolts out and break the outer seal then pry them apart. The worst part is removing all the old sealant.

i just bought 17x10 stp1's wondering if i could run 215/45/17 in the rear without rubbing? i'm dropped on racelands and i have shaved fenders front and rear?

^ If you're trying to go low with minimal rubbing, I think a lot of us would suggest a 40 series tire on 17s.

Has anyone ever plugged a stretched tire? Or had any issues with a nail? Found a nail right in the middle of my tire today and I can't tell if it has gone all the way through or not. Thinking about just plugging it.

http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx143/Jasperashmusic/e7a89a4b.jpg

I have a nail just like you, and I just lefted cause I wasn't losing air or anything and I've been driving with the nail in the tire for like a month and had no problem so far but it wasn't until yesterday till I was deciding to go to the tire shop & have them take it out patch it if it went through and rotate my tires cause Its kind of scary Lol, so I'll probably do it this weekend

Let me know how it goes.

Jasper, if you have that nail removed, id hold on to it. I think philips head nails are pretty rare :)

it looks so perfect in the middle of tire, in the middle of the tread.

Do you know if Work Equips with the DDC can be rebarreled?

yes they can sir!!! :icon_mrgreen:

@Irishguy0224

some places that claim to be able to rebarrel use low quality steel or aluminum that bend and form easy. they also use low grade bolts or wrong thickness in flaring edge of the lip where the face meets the barrel causing there to be less thread threaded on the nut/bolt. also the aluminum sometimes is not balanced properly causing ____ty vibrations... yes balancing the wheel and tire helps but the wheel will never be 100% balanced like it should causing the studs to shake on the faces and become loose after a while (needing to be tightened more then they should after X amount of mileage)

its little things like that that are very important.

patching a stretched tire can be done, it just is super sketchy bc of it being stretched already. GL tho!

I should have filmed the shop that stretched tires for me, they had twin brothers with cheetahs, and they would blast them at the same time to set the beed...it was amazing the first time I saw them do it haha.

Guys I need some help! :( I just purchased some tires Falken Zeix 502 by 205/40 attempting to mount on 17x8.5 offset 20. The mounting wasnt a problem but the outcome of the look of the wheel was kinda of disappointing, there was a decent stretch but once wheel was mounted on my car, I now have a noticeable wheel gap almost 2 finger in the rear and 1 in the front. I am sitting on stechs. The tire looks so thin like low pro thin :*( any advice guys. I plan on purchasing new tires this week any sizing tips? I would like to get best look stretch and gap fill. Any advice would help thanks in advance.

Get 18s or get coilovers

The more stretch you have, the more gap and clearance you'll have. You dont need that stretch on S-techs. So you'll either need to go lower, or proper sized tires.

^x2

So Im guessing go back to 215/45 ???

check out tyrestretch.com

Yes it works, there's plenty of vids showing this technique to do tire stretch. An alternative from risking setting yourself on fire or the using a bead blaster.

:tap:Wonder if I could just mount my own tires then?

You can, I posted a clip that took what seemed an evening to switch one tire lol.
Here it is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuYhrhW_wWs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Ya, i have seen that one. But this tube idea... That has me thinking lol. Is that you would have to do in order to mount a freaking tire? Then get it balanced? if so, im in.

It depends on the stretch, you may need to do that, may not. Then just get it balanced.

sorry, but now I really don't like them on our cars. It makes me sad that I don't like them though, I had high hopes for these.

Oh well! I like em. They're nice for some winter wheels.

Harrison, i think it looks killer man!

Thanks guys! I appreciate it. My photog skills aren't good, the car looks really good in person. I really like the look. Rear has a ton of poke. Idk of I'll refinish them later on but I just like that they stray from the norm (on a tc at least)

Leon Hardiritt Orden, 18", that's all I know.

I'm glad to finally see Alphards on a tC. But a good point was made. I think VWs can pull off any wheel. Idk if it's because they're mostly on air in the stance scene or what. But Alphards tucked on an bagged MKV is just money. I really think these would look amazing with some rear rim tuck on our cars.

Lol neither. Those are 5x100. Notice his sig: "Proper fitment is achieved WITHOUT spacers."

No sir! That's a custom 5x100 set, 1 of 1.

Hahaha yeah, no adapters. Those are 5x100. Front fenders are rolled, rear fenders are shaved. Still need to work on the rear bumper, though... Damn corners pop out when I air out, annoying as hell

Oops my bad! I deserve that I guess. Lmao that's what I get for skimming through threads while at work. Smh lol

Ihavenosn saw your car at autocon was checking out your fenders yeah your back fenders need a lil more love on the back felt like you didn't roll at all hahhaha but you have air so you just air up and your all good... Hahaha

^looks like yours has little too much love no?

Let's just put it this way it has way too much love... Hahaha but it's all good I like looking at Ppls face when my rim hits the fender and it scrapes it priceless... It might be stupid but its funny!...

^ I don't like that look people give me. It makes me feel ricey. And just makes me want to solve the problem even more. My wheels are getting chewed up. :( If I can get it to where theres only some tire rubbing, I'll happy. But rim hitting fender sucks.

But your ish looks good, love the specs and fitment of those 17s.

Thanks... My back wheels are all chewed up. Hahaha but I just want to try to push it. I scrape all over the place I have a straight pipe and you hear that scrape more. I just mostly scrape on dips and driveways..

But this car might be gone soon. Getting bored of it. Gonna try to move on with something with more "balls" maybe something luxurious..

Ihavenosn saw your car at autocon was checking out your fenders yeah your back fenders need a lil more love on the back felt like you didn't roll at all hahhaha but you have air so you just air up and your all good... Hahaha

Yeah they definitely need more love. I've been lazy with it though since I do have air and it doesn't effect me while driving. :P

Saw your car there too, looking good! :)

Thanks man. I hope you won an award cause to be honest with you your car was the best scion their. My car looks all beat up!!! Hahaha

Yeah another set of NUEs lol. The coils were flipped. I didn't keep them. I mean I still have the Rokkors, but not two sets of B&Gs.

So did you sell the other NUEs? And you are rocking B+G's or Rokkors? I am le confused

Dude, your tC is hella' clean. Those SSR's look sick. I'm not really a fan of body kits, but I've always had a softspot fot the Kaminari kit. You pulled it off really well on your tC.

Even though I'm not a fan of the wheels, Jeremy's car is looking good. I reaaaly want some 17's when I see pics like that.

Anyway, I lowered the coils yesterday. I put the fronts down hoping drive like this, but it just isn't happening.

EDIT: I know there is going to be some naysayers, but the car isn't jacked up in the rear. Just slammed the fronts down and let it off the jack. I rolled it off the 2x4, got about 8 feet back and realized the car is staying there for a while. But yeah..

I can vouch, did the same with my B&Gs. Got that feeling of HOLY ____ THIS IS LEGIT then immediately after AWE ____ I CANT DRIVE IT LIKE THIS.

Just needs more negative camber and good to go. :icon_biggrin:

I just put on order ARP extended wheel studs because I can't get enough threads with my redrilled Style 5s, tried some Muteki lug nuts and no luck. It'll give me more than enough threads to play with spacers, but seems I'll be rolling without centercaps.

Looks good, did you mod the coils at all?

cant figure out whats rubbing on my rear lip :( might have to raise it up again to be safe

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z408/simpleclothingstore/IMG_9071.jpg

or go with neg camber 8)

it looks like the tab for the bumper/rear fender.. if not, take off all the plastic pieces you have on the rear bumper.. if that still doesn't fix your problem, look for shave marks on both your tire and your body panels.

^ I agree. There's A LOT under there that gets in the way. A lot of the problem is the metal in the area where the quarter panel and bumper meet. Break out an angle grinder and a cut off wheel. I fear its the only way.

thanks guys. I shave the metal piece down already when i got the wheels.It might be the plastic that needs more shaving lol. Something is scraping the lip

it's ur fender scraping the lip then..

most likely

^ fix my tranny. it's leaking

i had the same problem with my rims .. what i did was used a fender roller and rolled that the corner where the rear bumper tab is and also pulled it a bit

i'll sell you my tranny and i'll throw in the rest of the car.. $7k.. lol

thanks guys. I shave the metal piece down already when i got the wheels.It might be the plastic that needs more shaving lol. Something is scraping the lip

I had the same problem. You may want to take a grinder and shave the fender a bit and with the heat and a rubber mallet and something flat to lay on the outside of the fender just bang the fender flat.

^thanks. Everything loooks clear when i check for clearance. Just when i turn or go on a road bump i hear something scrapin like metal sound

Yeah it sounds like the rear rim lip is contacting the quarter panel. Mine does that. When I have the wheel off I can see where it's running on the inside of the quarter panel, on the rolled lip. There's a strip of paint missing.

just drive onto a steep driveway and threewheel. One wheel will be tucked under and check that wheel to see where the contact point is.. usually you could find it

Lol. Mine aren't perfect. The fronts are a little wavy. But yours have personality lol

wait, what happened?

^^^ diggin the mudguards. I wish SW tCs can pull it off like that. Im still debating on them for my tC.

Want them? I'm probably going to sell them. At least the rear mud guards. My OEM rear lip will be going on this weekend.

hello!!!! basicalle long story! made short!!!

I want to drop these 19x8 (et26) and 19x10 (et22) in my scion!!

i currently have h tech springs! i need tire info and suggestion!

these are the wheels.....

here is my car

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h321/da6xsi/scion2.jpg

oh with that being said.... lets hear some suggestion in tire size??? and fender rolling?> pulling??? anyone with experience in such offset and size? please help thanks!

wheels are being re-drill to 5x100 to avoid using spacers! thanks

If you have springs theres nothing you can do but put them on and see what work needs to be done, not like you have an option to adjust the suspension.

Yea dude, like I said, go for it and then we all have something better to work with.

My OEM rear lip will be going on this weekend.

Jealous. I was gonna go get a quote to get mine painted today but it's raining and my car is clean so it's gonna have to wait lol.

Was gunna get my rear bumper quoted for a paint match today but it snowed. lol

Lol. Mine aren't perfect. The fronts are a little wavy. But yours have personality lol

mine have a "____ty" personality. all four sides. hahahaha my front side fender is wavvy beyond belief. the paint is cracking on it. i think im going to buy new fenders. ahahah

Jealous. I was gonna go get a quote to get mine painted today but it's raining and my car is clean so it's gonna have to wait lol.

For reference, I was quoted $125 to paint the rear lip. I ended up paying $100 though.

Not bad. If it's more than that I'll just paint it myself.

That's what I wanted to do. But I didn't have the paint gun and gear that I had for my front lip.

I was thinking of just using the aerosol can since the lip is so small and in 2 pieces.

I'm sure if you prep and take your time, it will look great after a nice coat of clear. And do it somewhere you're not exposed to dust and debris.

Going to be putting 10.5" wide wheels on my car....

what did you get?

BBS RS 17x9.5 F 17x10.5 R

^ AWESOME! Do they need any work/refinishing?

photos now!

Irish, I hope you'll be sitting low...

^ I agree. Please do them right. You have more reason to be lowlow on a 10.5 setup. It'll look odd if you're not.

You'll need a good amount of fender work as well. And ditch the raceland coils.

^ AWESOME! Do they need any work/refinishing?

Nope, they are like new. He did a full rebuild on them.

photos now!

Soon sir, soon.

Irish, I hope you'll be sitting low...

Front will be as low as last year (maxed out) rear will be much lower than last year as my tire size will be on point.

^ I agree. Please do them right. You have more reason to be lowlow on a 10.5 setup. It'll look odd if you're not.

Duhhhhhh

It shouldn't be that bad. Jeremy doc got 17x10 under his car without much hassle. and he is 17x10 all around. I cant afford anything but racelands right now lol.

BBS RS 17x9.5 F 17x10.5 R

Damn you really hustled someone with those style 5's if you got enough to afford those (if you just used what you got back from the sale)


Sent from Somewhere using Something.

^that

Irish: depending on your offset it it's lower then 20 your gonna have to put in a lot of work to make 10.5 to fit. Jeremydoc had to put in work on his tc to make those rims fit. Shin had 11 wide on his tc he had a low offset and he put in a lot of work. But the end result should look good.

Before adaptors they are like +53 or something (vette fitment) so after adaptors they are going to be in the 30's

and harrison i hustled. hustled hard.

I'm not a fan of the RS's you got, I think the face is too small, but it'll be cool to see on your tc man!


Sent from Somewhere using Something.

Thanks dude and ya the face is a bit small. But it's all fixable. I plan on doing the faces white as well if all goes to plan. I'm excited for sure.

i really need to learn about photography :/ phone pics

Not digging how one set of lips are white and the others are polished.

1. i got lazy lol
2. i kinda like something different then the usual

Gotta say,they look good with polished lips, and with white.

Probably comes down to whether or not it would be easier to:
A) polish the last two painted lips.
B) paint the two polished lips.

I plan on doing something in the future but after having these laying around the house for a yr i had to get them on...

Polished lips have a better resale value, but my personal perspective is that all white looks better. yay or nay?

Hopefully i will have some better pictures soon

I like the white lips vs. the polished lips here.

White lips > Polished lips.

Damn you really hustled someone with those style 5's if you got enough to afford those (if you just used what you got back from the sale)

damn, Hayseed, i should have traded you my old torques for those style 5's a while ago. hahahah. frikken dude is a straight hussler here. haha. but congrats man.
