Nice Raptor. Goes with the color of the car

Raptor13x · 06-17-2009, 02:41 PM

Probably because it IS the color of the car.

I like the black on black on black theme- black car, black wheels, blacktop 20v.

Also, HOLY CRAP my car is dirty.

muffinman · 06-17-2009, 02:45 PM

the paint turned out nice. did you do a clear?

Raptor13x · 06-17-2009, 03:47 PM

The clear coat was turning out sh!tty, so I went with no clear.

It's not exactly show-car quality, but I don't really care. It's a f#cking '86 Toyota. The price to have a shop paint it would exceed the value of the vehicle.

Thanks. I will eventually be going to 8" or 9" wide rims in the back to handle the power that she'll be putting down soon. I'm targeting 300whp. I see you're in Texas -my engine is there right now, at ATS.

The trailering tires - Drag DR20, 15x7.5

off the trailer: 13x8 Aeros :P

LokiRx7 · 06-19-2009, 01:11 AM

MIM 15 X 7 Wheels

Silver center with polished 1 inch lip

328FTW · 06-19-2009, 06:38 AM

Needs a drop in the back by an inch to not make them look stupid on the back. 14x7 ROH off a corolla that seized an engine. I towed him home and he gave me the wheels

I would like 15" but I have 14" tyres by the dozen so I am going to stick with them plus they were free so meh.

stu4u3 · 06-19-2009, 12:17 PM

Nice LokiRx7 and 328FTW!

That cool man.

stu4u3 · 06-19-2009, 12:31 PM

I've been looking for nice OEM type rims off a honda, toyota or a miata. I can find honda rims but they are like 25lbs each (stock Mk1's are around 18-19 lbs). I haven't been able to locate an MK3's that are afforable. Any other ideas?

I like the way these look but 25lbs is just too heavy (and they're 16's):

These are 15" but they are 20lbs:
