?? Wheels on Japanese body kit Was wondering if anyone had seen this Prius body kit: img57532516.jpg It appears to have some type of rear spoiler. But, of even greater interest are the wheels. Anyone know what they might be?
I don't think that's a rear spoiler. I think it's a poster on the fence in the background. Not sure about the rims...they're quite flashy! But the whole thing looks great together.
Re: ?? Wheels on Japanese body kit It looks like something is sticking up at the back, at the bottom of the rear hatch where one would normally mount a wing on a car...
Re: ?? Wheels on Japanese body kit darn, with closer examination it appears it IS a sign on the fence behind the car... I've been looking everywhere for just the "right" spoiler/wing for the back, the right "flashy" wheels, and a visor-ish "wing" to go at the TOP of the rear hatch. Once I ever get my Kenstyle body kit ordered from Carson (if they'll ever get on the ball), those things will complete the look I am striving for. Well, and I'm also looking at the "pointy" nosepiece/grille here: I know a lot of people won't like it, as it's a bit "controversial", but I am striving to get rid of the "T" emblems on the car, and this takes care of the front one.....
You hit it on the "nose." Hahaha. I'm not a big fan of that kit. The kenstyle kit, however, looks great.
Re: ?? Wheels on Japanese body kit lol.....that would be hilarious, I think! what I'm looking for is this: and I want these headlight garnish pieces:
I want something like I have on the back of my RX-7.....the smoked acrylic type thing: All the other ones I've found or seen are pretty much like the one u suggested, and are hardly noticeable....pretty much a waste of money. I want it to be up off the window like the one on the RX-7. Thanks for your suggestion.
Re: ?? Wheels on Japanese body kit I'd like to know more about the body kit if anyone knows what it might be and where I might find more info and pics about it. It does look really great with those wheels. It's alot of chrome however and I bet they'd weigh a ton. I did 19x8's that are 4lbs. lighter than my old stock 17's, but between the wider tire and open spoke design I lost 5-6mpg's. Doesn't bother me so much, but I know it does some people here.
Here's a little more info about AME wheels in general. Pulled this from Vivid Racing's website. "The AME (Auto Mobile Engineering) wheel brand is developed by Kyoho and manufactured by Enkei in Japan. AME is considered to be Japan’s premier, major luxury wheel brand and is actively involved within the ultra competitive, enthusiast markets. AME prides itself on offering a complete line of truly high-end, premium aluminum alloy wheels for the different automotive genres including high-end Sports, VIP / Luxury / Euro, and K/Compact car categories. The AME Shallen Series is considered a top shareholder in Japan for high-end, dress-up sedans, minivans, k/compact, and sports wheel applications."
AME wheels are a pretty penny. Been looking around for a potential set for redrill to 5x100. I may just end up swapping the hubs on the car to fit 5x114.3 though
