Ok, so really I don't have the budget to buy new rims for my gt4.
I have the oem rims on it, I thought I'd follow a guide from the forum and paint them semi-gloss black to fit with the spoiler mount blocks and the set of lips and side skirts I ordered today...what do you guys think? |

Doesn't matter if you're racing the car or not, Toyota put 7.5" wide rims on a GT4 for a reason, not just because you spent an extra $80,000 to buy the car in the first place.
6.5" wide rims will slide around in the wet, 4WD is designed for traction. the moment you get on power with the quick spooling hella torquey 3s-gte/ct20b combination you WILL go sideways. Hell you can even do it in the dry with 225 tyres as it is. I'm sorry for coming across the way I do but I'm passionate about the GT-Four and I HATE to see people ruin them and drive them potentially unsafe. Their numbers are dropping, theres no more new ones being produced as with the WRX and the Evo so the worldwide numbers aren't exactly going up, So naturally I strongly advise against unsafe practises and general b.s. The amount of respect I pay the GT4 is like, well I've always bought cheap stuff before and have never once bought a genuine TRD or HKS part before in my life until this car. Not even for the SS-III I had. That's just how I am about the GT4. EDIT: As opposed to WRX and Evo I should say.
