Lovely. I’ve been looking at these wheels so would love to see a photo when you have had them fitted. Thanks.

I've wanted those ever since I saw them. Very pricey to get a set though.
Yeah, by the time they are shipped they will have cost more than some of the lighter aftermarket options unfortunately.

It seems a missed opportunity for Toyota to not offer much in the way of their own aftermarket parts in Europe, the boards prove their is an appetite for modification as much as most other markets.

White worm. Moisture gets behind it and it does this. Plus it's more costly to refurb. Chrome is overdone.

Thank you. So chrome is a finish applied to a wheel, and moisture can get behind it. I (probably incorrectly) thought that diamond cut wheels had the metal cut and polished, so there wasn't a finish applied for the moisture to get behind?

Is there a good site (UK) that shows wheels that fit the 86? That should be a simple task, but on Performance Alloys (for example) I select the car, it lists the wheels, I then select a wheel and it says 'this doesn't fit your car'. Brilliant.

I like the Tomason TN25 shown here, and OZ wheels. I'm probably after flow-formed, for the light weight, without spending as much as formed wheels cost (like Bolas). Possibly 17". Not too sure on colour (not black), but it would be good to see the options.

Any ideas?
