why would you put those rims on that car?
First off which rims are you referring to? The first pics toward the top the "OZ's" are for offroad use and the one toward the bottom are for track or tarmac set up. Both sets of wheels and tires where sponsered by Pirelli, OZ and J2. Do you know anything about rally? WOW...you are SORRY! Oh btw Thanks for the bump!
i think hes talkn 'bout the J2s, i didn't like the 410s when they were silver, but since they painted it white it looks 1000000x better and what can i say i'm a lil bias since im ridding on the same wheels =P.

410 Mesh rocks.... I have them on my GS400.

On the xB and xA the offset is perfect...flush to the wheel wells.

410 mesh rocks.. no doubt about that, but on a rally car?

the OZ, those were pimp when they were on it.. now you put street wheels on it and imho doesnt look good, should have gone with some lighter wheels for tarmac racing, or some stronger ones at that.

and making fun of my old car.. if that gets your jollies on, then go ahead.

then again, im not a car club, i am a single person who cant exactly afford top notch everything, but who says ADR and JAZ isnt in the same class..

No worries it's all good, we used the 410's because J2 is a great company and came through for us big time as well as Pirelli on our last magazine feature on the S.E.R.T. xA; that will be surfacing soon sorry can’t say yet who covered it but it was a great time.

Granted we are a car club but none of the money used on this project came from the club it was all done through the initial budget build for the "Scion Knotts Scary" event and anything past that has been sponsored by the manufactures that we work hard to represent. If you want feel free to stop by any of our meet and greets maybe a club is what you might want to get into.

Again no worries, I think forums cut the added body language and how something is said. So yeah saying it looks stupid is a little harsh compared to “the 410’s IMO don’t look as good”. It’s all words but that is how thing’s always get started then the he said she said and eventually the drama that follows on what other peeps think they know etc etc.

So with all that being said IMO I prefer the off road rally style myself but I do have to admit that this little xA has surprised me with the 410’s and the Pirelli R compound tires like an oversized go-kart.

Soon to be updating with new pic’s so stay tuned…

Default Update HCI feature on Pirelli's website @@

For those that were not able to see the HCI issue with the S.E.R.T. xA feature; Pirelli one of our sponsors on the project has posted a PDF file of the article that was scanned. Thanks again to our sponsors and HCI for the coverage!!
