They remind me of Wald wheels. Maybe Wald is rebading them?

Not if hipari, then you clear fenders. Agressive is only way to get proper stance.

Re: seiken Rims?

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 :-\

Re: seiken Rims?

At least it sounds like she is going for a better quality wheel in a more aggressive fitment so thats a good thing

I dont know who you are (dont care either) but Im not here to get into a pissing contest with anyone.  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.

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.

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 second to none. I hate to sound cliche, but you should ask somebody 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 my opinion. If thats sumthing that you like, please feel free to buy one and stretch the body all you want.

Hipari=stretch tire.  8)  Thank you!  :)

These wheels are assembled by Tanabe Speedstar, CNC Rolled (cold forged) Rim. SSR is one of the best quality manufacturers in Japan. Let me know if you have any other questions. I love wheels ::)
