It would have been better if they had just left the entire car as a Toyota 86 here in North America. It would have saved me the trouble of doing it myself.

You can buy the JDM 86 wheel on E-bay but it will cost you around $800.

I hear ya on that, what's worse is my dealership has spoken with their parts department and gone above them to an area manager and they can't order in the JDM/EUDM parts for me.

I'm shit out of luck and probably done with Toyota now. Seven years of no sports car, promised one by the president and CEO then not delivering in North America, now dealerships can't even get their own Toyota parts when they've done so for me in the past (I've ordered JDM parts for my Celica through dealership before). I really, really don't want to but it may be time to cut ties.

See, I don't know why we have to do that even. They left the 86 badge on the fenders, why not leave it everywhere else that had it? Doesn't make sense.

It just doesn't make sense. They could have made more money by offering these parts to guys like us.
