Thanks a lot man!

Unfortunately, my build is probably going to go into hibernation pretty soon. The final changes will be:
- Installing replacement fog ballast from DDM
- Installing Sirius Satellite Radio (better channel lineup than the XM offered by Toyota)

After those two things, there probably won't be any build updates until I get wheels which could be up to a year from now.

So far, looking at the Stance SC-5ive
Matte black spokes with gloss black lip
19x8.5 +35



Obviously open to other options since I'm still a long time away from purchasing. But I definitely don't want to go too aggressive with it. I'm personally not a fan of poke and I still want my car to be daily driveable with minimal issues with rubbing.

I'm a bit lower than you though...still don't think there would be any issues?

I also need to check out the difference in stance between 8.5 +35 and 9.0 +40. Its gotta be small right?

i think it would be ironic if the rims were called "stance" but werent actually stanced aggressively lol

as if u can run a stock looking setup and have those rims and people will still go "nice stance!"

Haha ironic I know man. I just thought these were cool with the mixture of matte and gloss black. I'm also a huge fan of the concave look.

Yeah man definitely similar to the Vossons! I think the main difference lies in the lip though. And the price haha. Looking at $355 a wheel...just over $1400 for a set of 4...without tires!! A hell of an investment sigh.

Yeah the Vossen's are around $500 a pop so price is pretty close...all the good looking concave rims are $$$ haha. I'm gonna do some trick powder coating when I get mine, hopefully that will make them look better...goin with xxr 522 19x8.5 +15

So I installed the last of the Torque Solution mounts this afternoon and made a quick video of the difference.

Before was with TS mounts at the resonator and "mid pipe" and stock mounts at the last two axle-back hangers. Then after is with all 5 hangers using TS mounts.
