Lots of thing finally coming together for the car. I have a new top to go on soon and will be ordering wheels withing the next week or two, but I figured since I finally completed a mod to the car, I'd post up a pic.

Why?

Too me, that car doesn't need a thing. Car has a great ride height. The wheels just complete the look. I wouldn't change a thing. Later, QD.

I've been pretty set on these

4x100

in a straight line? no
at 2150lbs though, it handles like a go-kart

15x6 15x6.5 staggered setup kinda sucks although, I am starting to think that I should stay with a five spoke design or maybe track down another pair of the 15x6.5

thanks a lot!

I love these cars so much! If I had the time/money I'd like to get one as a daily driver and do a few little mods. This is the one that made me fall in love.

These cars handle exceptionally well and are reasonably swift.
I like them. Before I got my first s2000, the salesperson tried to get me in an mr2 like that one in yellow.

i made sure to link the most exotic body kit known to man that would fit on this car, just to spite QD's blandness

If dude spent $75,000... he should have went ahead and just got the porsche.

id sport the black car with the blue car's rear wing/trunk combo. probably a much cheaper alternative. Looks pretty sweet.

Nothing wrong with putting wheels on the car at all, dude. It's just a lot of times, factory wheels look terrible and in this case, they don't. SO there's no need to rush out on a set of wheels and end up with a set that looks shitty. Later, QD.

I would think the main problem is that people just don't know how the hell to pick tasteful wheels for their car. I facepalm about 90% of the time in those "look at my new wheels" threads.

I'm generally all about stock look though (dare I say jdm?). Drop it, some nice wheels and maybe a front lip.

That's exactly what I was thinking here, dude. It looks great compared to sticking a set of 6 spoke bronze wheels, lolol. But the OP, of course, should do what he wants, you know?

I'm with you all the way. That's really all I do to my cars. Later, QD.

I never looked @ this generation to be so nice, but now I see another world for these pocket rockets. The red one with those deep dished wheels just made my head explode "just do it"

these with the celica gts drivetrain swap are nasty for what they are, i think its the 2zz, pretty high redline and 180 hp, makes a cool car.

meh, the 6 speed tranny would be cool, but the swap makes a 15.5 second car into a 14.5 second car. doesn't seem worth it IMO. I have definitely put some thought into the trans swap though.

if the money was there! the parts are available for a pretty much straight in swap including mounts and axles.

Friend of mine just picked one of these up and it only has 9,000 miles on it. Lady keep it in a garage and never drove it. Vary nice little car and they handle so good.
