New rims for me.... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

***Silver Streak*** · 08-11-2002, 09:59 PM

Just got them on yesterday, they're ALT AT-190's wrapped in 215/55/16 Toyo Proxy TPT's. They're only 16", 17 or 18" would have looked much better...they make my cam look a little bit more sportier compared to my old rims...what do you guys think?

Very nice. They go well with your car.

That gets rid of the "slow touring car" look that you had.

And I thought your GF will bitch about anything you done to your cam??? :o

Thanks...I liked that touring look though! Funny, my GF says my new rims would look better on HER car!? She's now thinking about it...and then I'll hook her up with some clear lenses!

In the end, it's my money! (well...maybe not for long?

)

BTW - It looks very nice !

What are your co-workers gonna say on Monday morning!?

I agree they look much sportier 8) Now you're gonna have to paint your fugly rusted brake calipers. When are we gonna have a TN "Caliper paint" day? I still need to paint mine

man those 16 aren't bad at all, looks great i like that design, almost as much as my 5 spokes, or maybe more, :evil: did i make the wrong choice??

92CAMRYGTS · 08-12-2002, 01:10 AM

what did you use to drop your car?

SpectraBlueCam · 08-12-2002, 04:20 AM

Those aren't bad, Henry, but I am a bigger fan of your Enkeis.

But then, I'm biased, cuz I actually LOVE the touring car look.

One question is why did you switch from a 16" combo to another 16" combo??

Good job getting the GF into the modding craze. It's all good!

Who's are rusted? Mine's a nice shiney blue, I've repainted them 3 times in the last year or so!

But of course, they were 1 minute ghetto jobs...but the paint is holding. 8)

I know, I'm kinda regretting that I didn't go up to 17" but it's just too expensive to replace 17" tires...just trying to save some cash while updating the look. Actually, I still prefer my Enkei's over these rims but the Enkei's were too hard to wash! :x

92CamryGTS - I'm riding on H&R Sport Springs with KYB GR2 Struts...about 1.5" drop.

I think you made the right choice by picking 16"s since you do a lot of straight road driving (you won't feel the difference anyway beside the look).

As for me, I'll rip my tires in every corner if I have 17"s.
