FD with new ADR rims & Toyo Proxes T1's

At last Rishie and I connected on a sweet deal: Koni yellows, H&R springs, ADR Kasai rims 18,8 fronts and 18,9 rears with Toyo Proxes T1,s; 235/40 fronts and 265/35 rears. Rishie will post a link for pics of this awesome combination. Rishie, it was a GREAT ride home!! Rishie is the man for all your suspension, wheels, tires and many other goodies. I love this setup, again my thanks to Rishie and Shaun and I will definitely do business with Rishie again.

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to this. I've been going crazy at the shop. I believe this is the best looking FD I've seen for the money that was spent. It's beautiful.

Thanks, RIshie

That was my first impression too, but too each their own. He purchased it when they were a little more in. I think now the Supra spoilers have gotten a rice reputaion due to the fact that Hondas and 200sx owners would put these spoilers on their cars which would rise 2 feet above their roofline. hehe.

Not a fan of the wheels myself either.. but that wing is really the worst. I can't stand a Supra wing on anything except a Supra, that wing was designed specifically for that car. If you stand at the back of a Supra and squat down so you are eye level with the roof it is easy to tell how well the spoiler fits the car, it matches the profile of the roofline and edge of the rear window perfectly like a frame. The FD has some similar curves but that wing is just dominating the look of the car, way out of scale. But that is my humble opinion.

What's wrong with the rims. They are 18,8 and 18,9 with 235 and 265's. These are the sweetest looking and fitting wheels for the price on the FD. In my opion. Rims and tires, Toyo T1S total package for like $1600.00 or something.

BTW, the wheels are only 19-21 lbs respectively. They are quite light for a cast 18" wheel. These wheels go through QC standards as well. For the person who can't spend the money on Volk Racing, Fikse, or Kinesis these wheels are awesome.

The Bra was needed cause he drove a couple hours to come and see me to do the job. Didn't want rock chips on his valence. FYI, this car is cherry and very well taken care of and low mileage. Props to Redevvl.
