I´ve found the new rims for next summer: Enkei EV-5. CANCELLED biggrin.gif

and then, the huuuuge fcuking bomb:

I´ve been offered a special rollgage. what makes it special? Its TTE (=Toyota Team Europe) olds pacenotecar rollgage.
Im incredibly tempted..

UK plates?

Looks awesome! Is it your Daily driver? Do you go on the track a lot? If not i wouldn't bother with the rollcage, too impractical for everyday use, and a lot of extra weight, but if you're rallying / racing then GO FOR IT biggrin.gif

Yeah Luke, UK-plates in the pics, but not anymore.. I go to the track alot, and I have a massive perversion to rollgages biggrin.gif and its really light gage, weighs only 45kg. I need to get it.

Is that factory paint, or has it been repainted in its life? It looks absolutely shiny and brilliant. Gorgeous car. Get yourself some JDM tails though. wink.gif

Factory paint, its been well taken care of. JDM tails? Ill have to think about it. thats purely exterior, I rather invest on the performance..

I guess you guys don't get as much sun in Finland, therefore probably less paint damage. It looks brand-new in the pictures.

:facepalm:

Yeah, you're right. But still, it can't be as fierce as the FL sun.

Yeah, I think I should add something again here..

Screw the enkeis, I found better. the rims are pretty much as the Work Emotion CR Kai´s.

But the big question is, what colour. I cant decide!

There are 3 options, Gold, Bronze and Gunmetal.. But I think they would all rock with white!
I´d photoshop them If I could, but cant biggrin.gif

So, tell me youre opinions?
and the tires are going to be Toyo Proxes 4..

I'm partial to Gunmetal rims. I don't think the bronze or gold ones look good on most cars.

I ordered the rims today, in bronze, as I like the way bronze rims look on white cars.
Dragwheels DR31 17x8 in bronze, ET 35.

Should I run 215 or 225 tires, cant decide.. 215 would have a small stretched look.. hmm..

get 235/40/17.

i have 215/45/17 on 17x8 +32 and its too high and not enough traction.

Castrolman; Thanks! and yeah I know the rads dead, Im goin to buy new one before summer hits.. Thinking about ordering it from camskill.

Stambo; those OZ´s are now on my car, and theyll remain as my winter rims!

Promasta; I have to check the stocks.. Toyo proxes should be grippy, and I dont mind doing massive 4WD slides at all! biggrin.gif

very nice, great size/offset too.
so what tire size are you going with?

soon I will be getting 235/40/17s for my 17x8 +32s. low and wide om nom nom.
but as you said you have awd, you don't really need the traction.

not sure, would 215/45-17 look ugly as its stretched? Im not that into putting too wide tires, all the wear and tear to joints and axles..

holy crap, thanks promasta, Im going to get the 215´s. I assumed they would have been more stretched, I must have calculated wrong.. But thanks!

And now to the tires..

I have three options, the costs are in 50$ radius for the whole set.

If some one has great experiences of these, please tell!

-Toyo Proxes 4 (or T1R)


-Falken FK-452


-Kumho Ecsta MX KU15


I had Falkens on my old Celi, and it felt ok.
I have driven a GT4 with Toyos, but never was able to really test them..
And the Kumhos are purely a wild card.

I use Toyo T1R,s on my 4 mate,good tyres,out the ones you've listed it's the only one I'd recommend smile.gif
215 is too narrow & can looked stretched(I've had a set on my 4 & hated) depending on manufacturer,I run 235 but a lot of other owners I know use 225/45/17 maybe a good compromise
I wouldn't change my 235,s for any other size tho.

I hope its not going to be a rainy summer, as then the tires would be almost the same..

Thanks Luke!

Im starting to lean towards the Kumhos, as they are the most expensive ones.. Original price that is.
I also heard good things about kumho from a friend of mine..

well, we´ll see, not in a hurry exactly biggrin.gif
