Burning at 110 degrees I'm afraid. I knew that when I bought this car, I wanted to mod it. I want everything to be tasteful though, I'm not a ricer or a weekend racer, I just want the performance and looks that make me happy.

As for plasti-dipping, I think that's a cheap and unattractive solution. I don't really like it, same with powder coating and all of that.

I do like the look of 18's with most of the wheels, the wider stance looks nice, TRD's build has 18's and it looks amazing.

I'm thinking of going with springs for now and possible as a future mod changing the suspension fully.

TRD's build has new shocks/struts, as well as the roll bars and such.

I read that the Eibach Pro-Kit has a really decent compression ratio and is very similar to stock and only slightly stiffer giving a good balance of drop, performance and handling.

The RCE Yellows are a bit more conservative but are also on my list.

I know wheels are a personal choice but it's so hard to make a decision when I am looking at members cars but then I see they chose this offset or that offset and they are on xxxxx coilovers or xxxx springs, or whatever...it's confusing because I can't tell what the car will look and drive like with JUST the wheels and tires.

I wish everyone did wheels first without any mods and then said "car drives _________________" and posted pics, that'd help me perfectly.


EDIT: I also wish I had wheels and tires for my car
