Damn it man.. that sucks to high water.

A real shame. I don't know if they would particularly suit soarer but that's another issue.

What offset are they anyway?

What size as well? 16inches right? Or 15nch

From the planet soarer website- shows you what the wheels look like. I like the look, it's more restrained or conservative.

I welcome everyone's opinion on this. Is there other factory rims that you think suit better?

Paid $325 plus freight for those old things.

They aren't bad, I prefer Supra 16's (like mine) or even better Supra 17's (which I'm always looking for a good set at the right price, but hasn't happened yet)

I like the Supra rims but think they are a bit racy. I don't want to attract any attention.

This evening I received my genuine toyota aircon filters! I don't know why I get a sense of satisfaction from this.. maybe it's that you can rest assured you'll get what you pay for when dealing with Toyota spare parts.

I have a set of genuine lexus sc300 badges here too. It will almost be a shame to pull off the cute soarer badge and associated bits. I'm in two minds as to whether I should change them.

Haha too racy. The supra rims remind me of slow, bland and marshmallow. I better not show you my rims, which are relatively conservative...it might make you faint :-)

Don't worry, you are driving a soarer.. they usually don't attract attention.

Thats nice you received gen aircon filters.. how did you know you had to change them anyway?

In regards to the lexus badges, if in doubt, don't replace. Even though lexus ain't as classy to the outside person's eye as a toyota, I wouldn't dream of rebadging.

Haha Maybe it's because i'm a long time driver of conservative front wheel drive hatches. The soarer is fairly outlandish by comparison.

I merely assumed the aircon filters required changing. Here is a photo comparison: old vs new.

Also I removed these ugly things from the interior. Not sure what they are- one looks like an old phone handsfree thingy. Anyone know?

As a side note I pulled up next to a black soarer today in Pyrmont with Qld plates. Clean looking car.
