Funny bit about Toyota wheel-caps
So I got my JDM Toyota wheel-caps in the mail today (thanks CarsonToyota!)
![]() Nice! But I was too amused by the other side... ![]() It was kinda funny to see the Subaru logo all over the mechanical bits of this car, but to see it on the actual Toyota logo itself? Priceless! ![]()

Well considering it's made in a Subaru plant and line, what would you expect? Ever look under the hood of a VW Routan? It's all Chrysler since it's just a re-badged Town & Country made at their Windsor plant. At least the FT86 was a joint development between both, plus Toyota owns a (17% I believe) stake in Subaru so it's really a wash as far as I'm concerned.

I wonder what the weight-savings will be if this car ever manages to shed its emotional baggage from its passive-aggressive parents.

Does that mean the wheels are Subaru sourced I wonder?

Yeah, they usually do. A lot of Japanese car manufacturers use Enkei or Ray's but I can't say for sure what Subaru or Toyota would use in this case. If someone took the wheel off and looked on the inside, they might see a branding somewhere.
