88_ESI_R Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Found a local shop today that makes custom rims with the proper off-set and finished how you want. They can do 16, 17, 18, 19, & 20's with a width from 7-10. They come with the new Toyo TR 1's mounted and balanced. They are supposed to be the best Toyo made. The guy told me worst case scenerio with a huge rim and tire would be $3000.00 for the set at a single purchase. Most sets go for $2000.00 for a single purchase. He said if we get enough interest he would do a GP. I'm going to go his shop next week and get pics of the rims he can do and post them. How many people would be interested?

Big Al Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Does it HAVE to be a set? I think I might only want a couple of rims for the rear but then again I might if I can get the $ up go for a whole set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might only want a couple of rims for the rear but then again I might if I can get the $ up go for a whole set... I don't think so. But like I said, that figure he said was on the high side with just a single purchase. As soon as I see some more responses then I'm going back to the shop and I'll show him the post and we will go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIL Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 How about some pics of his work? And are they available without the tires. I'm not into Toyo. What would be really cool is some 17 or 18 inch that look just like stock with 8's for the front and 9's for the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going back to the shop this week and if the weather is good I'll be taking the Mitsu. and I'll get some pics and post them. As far as getting them without the tires, I don't think that would be a problem at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88_ESI_R Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 if im gonna drop 2-3k I iwll just get some simmons or kinesis wheels. what kind of gp pricing? Remember, these prices also include Toyo Proxes T1R's. As for gp pricing, like I said before......I'm trying to see what kind of interest there is and then I'm going back to the shop this week and pulling up this thread so the shop can see the interest. At that point the shop and I will talk numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88_ESI_R Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 How can we be interested with no picture? Well with only 47 post to your name obviously you don't understand how hard it is to get gp buys started on a vehicle that is between 19 and 25 years old. I said earlier in the thread that I was going to try and get some pics this week but things have been a little hectic for me being that I just got back from a year deployment to Afghanistan. Either way, I'm getting a set of his rims I was just trying to give back a little for all the help that I have received from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for your information, I came upon this custom rim place by accident. I went to a shop that used to be an auto acceserory store looking for parts for my new truck and discovered it was replaced with this custom rim shop. I was looking for some serious positive responses so that I could take them to the guy and show him that we were serious but as usual, I ended up getting a few of you guys that believe it's all talk so thanks to a few of you and your negative posts I will no longer be trying to do a gp and just get my own made. I will not walk into a shop and show someone negative and attitude feedback and ask for a gp. Sorry to anyone else who wanted more info on this. Mods, can you please remove this gp.

JustPaus_88TSi Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 All you need is pictures of some of his designs bro. People won't justify saying "yes" to something that expensive without seeing it.. With the information provided, it does see like a good deal since it includes tires. True custom rims in the 17-18" variety will run ya $2500 just for the rims.. But they're also very lightweight. I would try and get some design pictures and weight specs.. Anything more than that isn't needed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.K. Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 I think the stock rims look the best on the car just make them in a 17 or 18inch with a deep dish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Harris Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Bought a set of boyd coddingtons last year for 1300 shipped they are 17x8 and 17x9 1/2 and they offset them for each car so no fitment issues I am about to put down another 1800-2000 for a set of 18's because the forged center on my boyd's has a reversed pattern and won't clear my wilwood brakes, 4 pistons with 12.8 inch two piece rotors. So call wheel city go thru boyd's website. The retail prices are steep but call the vendor and get really good prices..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
