Derp. Yes. Stop revealing my secrets in my threads.

Well, shit.

I was told a local yard had a set of Supras.
I sent Kevin down there while I was working.

This is what he brought back...


Keen. Normal cost: $140. Kevin's awesome customer discount: $100.


Dismounted crap tires. Hit them with a pressure washer.
Mounted with a nice set of used 175/65R14 Fakens I had.







Wheels are a little stained, but in great shape.
All 4 wheels balanced out great. Only 1 took a little over 2oz. total. Win!

Fitment is great. Better than I thought they would be.
Need to source some lugs for now then try them on the 210.
From there I can figure out the final size I want to stick with.

So awsome. For lugnuts. Looks like shank style. Localy they are 1.20$ a peice at costless. Usually only have 8 instock. Ive gotten 12 or more sets there. I could probably send you a set with the paper work. Where the door keys under the seat?

I have not found the keys. But I did find the wipers.


Just bought a full set of locks... http://www.ebay.com/itm/310889265148?ss ... 1497.l2649

and

A full set of shank lug nuts... http://www.ebay.com/itm/310873033373?ss ... 1497.l2649

Good job getting proper nuts. Most dont get the right diameter shanks.

I work at a Toyota dealership.
Every aluminum wheel is held on with shanked lugnuts.

Just my luck, every one of them is 12x1.50. Tundra being 14x1.50.




Except the FR-S which is 12x1.25. BUT-they do not come with shanks. Normal acorns. FML.

Yea, I know. But did Toyota pull a Nissan, and switch the diameter of the lugnuts? Not the threads, just the shank diameter (down from .73 to .68)

Also, I freaking love the New Tacomas. Easiest thing ever to work on.

Should have been a bunch of a10 parts too

I got what was needed and then some.

You will not be disappointed, Adam.

How did this slip past me for 4 days?
Hoping this will be my new favorite thread. Don't let us down. We're all counting on you.

Would you feel better if I said I've had it now for 2 weeks?

Or that I just put the thread up yesterday?

If I overheard a woman saying this to another, it would not occur to me they are talking about Datsuns

I'm just glad your rolling parts and your pile of parts are in the same county now. Hope some work happens soon.

Post more pics? Is that what I heard?

Very stoked to have a car that has black interior.



Always wanted one of these wheels. Now I do.



My view when it's time to smoke.
