I’m fairly certain if our rides side by side were being listed for sale, it wouldn’t be deemed boring not even in the slightest… js

So it’s only tasteful if you install period correct wheels?

I guess them fitting perfect, and being for a new Supra, on top of that being very very nice well made wheels from one of the best wheel companies in the world, makes it not tasteful? Or just because they are in a Silver arrow? Just cause I have style, and I don’t do what everyone else does, doesn’t mean they aren’t tasteful. Just like when I have Recaros in my e55 210. People said it was a ricer. But yet Recaros are made in the same city as Mercedes. I will be posting pics of my car on here everyday for the next year.

You say tomato and I say too-mot-toe. Who really cares, to each his own. Buy it and enjoy it the way you see fit. Original or custom is a matter of personal choice.

Whats wrong with the over all look? Besides the wheels and the clear corners, that’s all you care about?

Hey guys I think if you want something tasteful for your SLs maybe a custom BBS Super RSs, BBS LMs or the the HRE 544 almost similar with the AMG monoblocks but this gives more swag!

These are just pure sex on wheels. In addition, they cost a hell of a lot less to maintain than a woman. Gorgeous car!
