thanks Celron!
You are right though, these wheels look soooooo awesome in person. It's not until you're looking at them in person that you realize all the details of them and now different they seem to look based on which angle you're standing at.

Exceptional wheels (and overall ride), and you've sold me on Toyo T1R's!

edit: I knew there was a reason I liked them, they look allot like the MazdaSpeed rims:

^^^ yup, that's one of the reasons I love these wheels. Fell in love with the style when I saw the Blue "Mazdaspeed" car.

You will not regret Toyo T1R's

I had T1R's, they were great... except for the part where my rear right tire's sidewall blew... The fun part was that I was on the freeway shitting bricks and another RX8Club member was in my passenger seat.

Looks great!

How do those Toyo's handle for you? I'm looking to change my stock summers to something better. I like the look of tires like yours but often wonder if I'd be trading performance for looks. Personally, I'll take the performance but the looks would be nice for shows. If I can get both it would be even better

Fencig: the Toyo T1R's are exceptional tires! You get tons of grip and a great looking tire. You really can't go wrong with these.


RossDawg: I might take my OEM's with me when we go to Vegas.


Flip: thanks man! Couldn't let you Vegas guys be the only ones with sweet lookin' wheels.

geat.. so now i have a gauge pod and wheels that I'm going to have to steal off of Jorge's car. I'm beginning to think it'll just be easier to whack him and take the whole car at this point.

You can't whack Jorge! That would break my heart and then I'd have to avenge him. Laythor... I know where you live and I will delete your WOW account!

I know I could take Jorge.. but now that Emilie is involved I will have to back down. On a side note.. are you going to blizzcon this year Em? Make Jorge buy ticket (he must have a few pennies left after buying those wheels.

Thanks dmp!

I'll be in Vegas this weekend so I'll probably have some updated photos to share. I know people wanted rear shots of the car so I'll make sure to get a few.

I just noticed that the MazdaSpeed rims don't accept TPMS, whereas the Advan T5's do. How weird is that!

The MS also only come in 18x8. Advan's in my future!
