This was the reason why I was asking for some pics of Z with Maido GR5 wheels.

by the way, thanks for the pics.

 

You mean this one?

 

Or this one.

 

i like the SF challeges better

 

Maybe I shouldn't sell my Volks!!!

JK, I already have a buyer.

 

It looks like my pics disappeared.

Here it is again.

Silver Z with 18" SSR GT3

 

Here is a pic of PPW Roadster with 18: SSR GT3

 

I am loving the Mayas on the Z, the Volks are too thin for the car I think, the Mayas give it a good stance.

The SC is hot! Personally, I think black on burnt orange interior is the best fit for the SC This is my Grandmas car, 03, bought cash, and babied all its life. About 20K on the odo, I take it out a couple times a month to either wash it, or just because, and I open the V8 up, the car loves it when I drive

If you switch the Lexus into the power setting, and just leave it in D and smash the gas, the things will move like crazy. I like letting a car get ahead of me about 3-4 cars and then hit it and watch how fast I am back ahead of the car, lol....I think the reasons it feels so fast is the TQ, and the Weight, because of both it feels really fast, even though from a roll my Z would pull away from it. My Z doesnt feel like as fast because its light and has about 40-50 pounds less TQ, plus its loud with the Popcharger. The SC is quite humble, when you hit it, you get to hear it switch gears, suck in air, and let out a mean quiet growl as you are sucked into the seat. My Gma knows who wants her car in her will :P


***EDIT

I think the roadsters need a thicker wheel, the thin spokes dont look bad on the coupes, but the ZR's definitely need some GTC like wheels to give it a stance....

 

After giving it some hard hard hard thought,

I put SF Challenge back on my car. I like the Maya's also but I did not like the stretched tire look. With 19x9 with 245-35-19, tires looked little stretched but not too bad but on the rear, 19x10.5 with 275-35-19, tires looked like donut. So I decided to go back to Volk SF Challenge 19x8.5 & 19x9.5.

Now the tires fit almost perfect without stretched looked.

 

I don't get it, probably cause I didn't read most of the post but anyways, if you could afford the volks SF, why do you not have the volks GT-C as an options since it looks identical to the maya?

 

who cares? The Maya is a nice wheel in its own right, with an SC430 on Work wheels, and a Z on Volks, price probably wasnt the issue, but taste, or maybe the GTC's were not in stock...Not everyone is in love with Gold GTC's

 

lol, nice cross reference, just giving him ideas, I was just curious thats all.

 

I originally got the Maya's for my Lexus SC430. I think Maya's GR5 look more classy while Volk GT-C looks more sporty/ricey.

After a while, I realized that SC430 needs more of bulky looking wheels like Lowen Hart or Work Euroline series.

Few month ago, I got a great deal on Work Exxe wheels (aka:Work Euroline S2H) so I decide to buy them and had those wheels installed on my SC430.

I was going to sell my Volks and had in on classified for few weeks. I got lots of response but Some times its real hassel to sell wheels. Since I am not desparate need of money I may just to keep both set of wheels unless someone makes reasonable offer.

I am going to put Maya's on classified next week and see what kind of response I get.

Its great to have two car with similar wheel offset so you can switch wheels back in forth.

I like the Maya's because I like the looks of rivets going all the way around and the wheels vs GT-C.

Here is the pic of my SC with Exxe wheel.



Check out the Lip on this wheel.

 

wow, that wheel fits the 430 pretty nicely, nice toyos as well.

 

so no more sale on the Volks?? Car looks good.

 

Nope but maybe Maya's.
