Why do the seats look like they're covered in leather/alacantra seat covers?

My corolla is fairly cheap and it has even one of those nub antennas, hopefully the shark fins are an option. My concern about this wheel adapter; is it a full replacement or do they just fit on top of the old one? I know spacers basically just fit on top of the hub that the rim goes on but are they safe for moderate track use and aggressive driving? What worries me is the more complex things get the more there is to break. I'm a noob on the technical stuff.

Nothing about the setup really has been explained just what they did

I know plenty of BMW guys that run spacers w/ longer studs etc..(track days as well)

Yep. It's generally safe, it just adds wear and tear to bearings.

Some people run just a little too much spacer on stock lug nuts.. (or bolts for you german car fans, although since it's obviously so damn easy to replace the lug bolts you'd have to be a real fool to reuse the stock ones with any of the borderline spacer widths) which isn't safe.

So maybe major tuner companies could convince Toyobaru to make the AS1 5X114.3 now?

It is indeed. I wonder what the TryKoto style wing would look like on it. I think it would be sick...

Definitely not a 6/4 setup seen here or anywhere that I've seen. That would be absolutely laughable for a car as slow and light as this.

They mentioned that you can easily throw the smaller PCD hubs plus calipers from the 04 sti. Plus if you want better stoppers, minus if your a wheel junkie.

You don't need the hubs, just the calipers, sti pads and 04 rotors (the only 04 specific part)
