Sad but true, I was on my way home taking the Gardiner going west from downtown Toronto. I decided to take south Kingsway exit ramp. When I was taking the ramp my car under steer and ended up hitting the curve. I dont know what just happen but I was pretty shooked. As the results my driver side front rims was messed up pretty bad. Im trying to put the picture of it but the pic is to big and the site wont accept it. I'll find a way to show the picture of my rims.

LAter,
kris

TRDragoon · 10-26-2003, 03:21 PM

hey!!! he already installed the seats in

that was quick....

OBTW, ouch!!!! that gotta hurt

cdnsupra · 10-26-2003, 08:42 PM

ouch, that looks painfull.
glad to see you are ok and it was just a monor disaggreement with the curb. the nice thing about having stock mk3 rims is that you can easily find one and get it painted black to match the other three.

if you had some crazy unknown rim made 5 or 6 years ago, good luck finding anything. you'd be looking for a whole new set right now.

another thing you can do to get pics up is just email them to me, and i will put them up in the toronto supra club site under your name, then you can link them to whoever you want.

Ouch.

Well luckily you only got a damaged rim.

Yea when did you get the seat in?

kristoffer · 10-27-2003, 02:01 PM

Fortunately that Im safe and my passenger is safe. Yah but the worst part is getting my rims damage that I just bought last summer this year. I dont even know the model of my rims. So I guess I'll be shopping around for new set of rims next year. I put the seats a month ago. I cant find the frame for it so I used my stock frames which actually give me some minor issues but nothing to big, and by the way since my frame on my seats is stock. I can adjust my seats electronically...thats the best part about my seats right now. Another thing this seat hold me and I didnt even move or anything at the time of the accident.

thanks to hachi slow and granttpc for putting the pictures for me.

They look like stock 92 Supra rims painted gunmetal.

kristoffer · 10-27-2003, 03:48 PM

They were not stock 92 rims, yes your right I painted the rims but its not a 92 stock rims. This rims have a little deep into it. I have to talk to this guy who I bought it from and hoping that he could tell me where did he get this rims. If not I have to wait till summer next year to get this thing done. Im running with my spare tire and black steelies right now.

Actually, those are MK IV NA raims...16x8 fronts. There was a guy on Supraforums trying to sell a pair of fronts a few days back, as one of the drag racers wanted the rears only. Check it out, but I think he wanted about $300US for the set, so would probably take $100 for the nose pair only (plus shipping) if his drag buyer still wants the rears.
