Aero kits are an acquired taste. Glad you like my rendition of an aero'd MK3.



So you like it like this! Thanks for the love, IJ.

In 2000, I decided to buy my first set of aftermarket wheels. I wanted the Racing Sparco Viper-R that I saw in the #70 Supra Hyper Rev book :

Instead, I bought a jenky set of 18x7.5+38 Konig Toxxin that I saw in a Tire Rack type of ad in a Motor Trend type of magazine. I blame my purchase on ignorance.

A year after buying the wheels, somehow, I felt that the wheels didn't look right.  So I started researching wheels and took interest in these wheels:

In 2002, I finally pulled the trigger and got these:


HRE 545 18x8.5+38


HRE 545 18x8.5+38 front and 18x9.5+36 rear

The black wheels on my car are Volk Racing GT-S. Below are more pics of the Kaminari 3 piece spoiler.

The suspension is cambering, but I don't know the degree. My car never gets an alignment since I adjust the ride height frequently and I don't daily drive it.

My fenders are flared about 1". The Volk Racing GT-S specs:

front 19x9.5+3, then I added 15mm spacers

rear: 19x10.5+18, then I added 10mm spacers.
