All I know is: NKB Cup - 3 piece Custom offsets Custom PCD 18-19inch diameters.
all i know is those are bitchin! :D
yep, nkb cup. not too long ago, memoryfab.com had a brand new set that they were trying to get rid of. and these are hot wheels. it caught my attention. Charley
awesome wheels...its 3 piece rims n from what i heard the fillin/sealin between the inner n outer were't really well sealed like wald, autocouture, work etc2... last time i saw it was sealed with silicon, unlike others with better sh|t...but 1 thing though..have they got an official website? :-\

Maybe some different silicon. Not sure what better you mean?
They remind me of Wald wheels. Maybe Wald is rebading them?
Here there site [url]http://www.s-2.co.jp/main_e.htm[/url]

hipari? I just dont want to run any extreme camber or super stretched tires like the SC. I'm OK with running a mild stretch and fender roll, but thats it. I really think these are the rims for me. :smitten: just have to find suspension and a kit now :-\

At least it sounds like she is going for a better quality wheel in a more aggressive fitment so thats a good thing
head for the hills boys, i think that sc300s running .8 degrees of camber, how do you afford to burn through tires like that

If youve managed to find pics of me/my car from 2003, then Im sure you know I dont have an issue with runnin thru tires....or cars. For those who may not know. I did pics with rims as a favor for somone starting out their company. They built a 22 offset rear rim for me but didnt know I had altered the car :) the fenders were stretched to fit my Traffic stars...many years ago. Old news/Old pics And yes, the Lexus' fitment/Fender pull is too aggressive for this new car im building. [img]http://www.msemerald.com/STUFF/DSCF39717.jpg[/img] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These (NKB's) are for my new SL500. Im taking the car up to a local shop (Carnuts) to have them go over suspension options
... and then {-.-} is gonna help out with the bodykit....im thinkin after Xmas for the kit tho. DriftGirl wrote:

^^^ Yes, not too aggressive, just enough to piss you off that it's on that crappy SC... oh poor SC, why must you be owned by such a trend humper? Come on you know you live for trends. Not like I don't, I'm selling my 240 and just bought the LS400... but your car is just a refelction of you and your bland taste for modification.

[/quote] I dont know you and its obvious that you dont know me....... 'Trendy'? My passion and contributions to the Soarer scene here in the US is [b]second to none. [/b] I hate to sound cliche, but you should [i]ask somebody[/i] before making a statement like that. You dont know s*** about these cars. If you did, you'd know better than to open your mouth about who is 'trendy' and who sets them. Now that I think about it, thats all Ive seen you do around here is talk s*** To you its THAT Lexus....to me its just another 'red car' in the garage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- and yes a pull like that is too aggressive for an SL but thats just [i]my opinion[/i]. If thats sumthing that you like, please feel free to buy one and stretch the body all you want.

Do you have close up shots of your fender work? and stretched tires?
This car is 100% stock :( The sc400 (in the picture I posted) has fender pulls, The sc300 is just rolled...Both have stretched tires.
