^^overall i would agree. i'm currently sticking it out with the stockies until the money is right on some rims

but for people that just want to be different, but not completely different. its a good "mod" with that said...plasti dip might have been a more economical way to go

 

Well but of course. Obviously we would all rather get new wheels.

Investing in 'more stylish wheels' will come with a much more stylish price tag.

Spending a couple hundred to paint the stock wheels is a great alternative to spending well over a grand on a new set of wheels/tires if you don't have that kind of cash floating around.

 

power coating (or plasti dipin') is a fine thing to do if 1) you know you will not have money for rims/dont want rims/dont want to spend money on rims or 2) you are someone that really wants it now

because if you spend say $200 on powdercoating....and later end up paying $1k on rims/tires...u just spent $1200 overall when you could have just waited and saved urself the $200.

however, i digress...each person is different and has different motives/visions for their ride. and with a "fully" customizable vehicle like ours...some times money doesn't matter

 

Not bad for 7 buckls and an hr of time!

 

I know!!! well as soon as i sell these orther rims im gonna use the money for some eibachs or tein springs to lower it a lil!! I also just put the powdercoated lugz on, now im missing a center cap haha but i gta get another one anyway, so you think leave silver on them?? Also just painted my calipers check em out!!

 

Yea i know everybody does, idk i think it looks better now just more idk flows better, anyway thanks for the feedback bro I appreciate it!

 

Wasnt bad at all, 180 and only took a day turnaround, thanks for the feedback!

 

Fan of the stockies or two tone??

 

Yea i wish I would of considered that before lol, impulsive decision ya know haha tyhanks for the reply!

 

Yea idk, I mean i dont think they look that cheap :/ either way I think that it looks clean now, especially at night the shole blacked out look is pretty sweet to me, thank for the reply though feedback is always weldcomed

 

'

Couldnt of said it any better biglil! haha thanks! yea I cant spend that much at the moment ha

 

Yea that is true, savin couple hundred, although I just dont see myself spending an arm and a leg on rims unless I was to freakishly come into a grip of cash ha but your right each person is different and yea for sure, but at the moment I just cant dump a ton out into it, plus I mean it is my dd and if i had another and could use this as a show car or project car sure, but with kids work and school its just not possible. BUT haha that five axis set up and there wheels are ones if i had the money i wouldnt mind owning!! ahah thanks guys again!

nothing bad, just some useful info u might want to use in the future. but yea! good luck to u...kids work school AND modding the car!? i applaud you

 

hehe sry, not too cpu savvy, I was wondering how to do that too haha no worries thanks for the info def useful instead of what i did haha and yea its crazy but I make time for myself, stress relief, always gta make time for yourself ya know

 

Lol, yeah that was a lot of quoting haha. Anyway I really agree with you on the Five Axis wheels. Whenever I get my credit card paid off from all the mods I just bought, I'm going to toss a set of those on.

 

5axis FTW!

haha i know A LOT of people that are close with the owner of 5axis...but still havnt met the owner himself...hopefully soon, then ill get my wheels

 

That will look dope, paying off credit cards haha geez if only, i wish I could, wanna pay mine too?? lol

Where is 5 axis based out of??? are they just on with toyota or whats the story i dont know much about them.... :/

 

5axis is their own company based in huntington beach, ca

they do concept vehicles (scion/toyota being one of the companies that contracted them) and then started five ad (or five axis design) and made body kits and rims for consumer cars

the owner is an honorary member of Scion Evolution SoCal...to the point that all his concepts had SE stickers on it and other car clubs complained so scion corp told him to remove them....currently he only has SE stickers on his personal cars

oh and my connections are that im an SE member and the people i know at OEM Audio+ know the owner of 5axis...they are suppose to introduce me but everyone has been busy lately cause of SEMA. maybe ill finally meet him there tomorrow or thursday when im there

 

So sexy! Wheels and brakes look good! The rims I'm getting kind of look just like the stock tc rims but they have way more concave and much much wider and flat black. Have them by the beginning of next year when they come out I'll keep you guys posted!

 

Damn, thats crazy im gonna look into them more also thanks! Good luck hopefully he will be there too!

Thanks man!! Your ride is so sick im definetly a lil jealous haha! jk but no great work man and what rims are they?? Do you have a pic or link to post? Look forward to seeing them on the mamba!
