Thanks man but the rims weren't my choice they came on the car.
I bought it used with only 8K miles on it and he had already put the H&R hotckis and the wheels and tires on it.

Rims are made by a company called Racing Sparco....No idea if they have any affiliation with Sparco...





sweet i just got the same grills, i am going to be installing them soon. how hard was the bottom one and how did you go about getting it off and then installing it.
on the lower grill some of the honeycombs are filled with small lines in them...just take a flat head and an nice thin cloth on the rag and slide it between the bumper and the honey comb and the things pop out as u push the grill in...installing is eaier...just when u drill the holes u barely have to use any drill speed...that plastic is soft and make sure u install the lower frst as u will be shoving your arm down through the front to get to the back of the lower grill...hahaha

the wheels almost look like the oem ones just a bigger center =) but the drop and grill look good man..

The center is a cap thats held on with 3 alan heads...I did cath someone one night trying to steal my rims while I was at a friends house...but they didn't get past the covers much less the wierdest set of locking lug nuts I have ever had hahahahahaha

hehe you took a good pic where the stuff behind the grill doesn't show, the only drawback of the fig grills.....but i'd rather get these than the ghetto grillcraft where it sits in front of the oem and in some angles can still see the scion emblem. grillcraft also ='s $$$$
