Finally got the wheels, tires and brakes on.

The Wheels are Kyowa Evolve 628's, 17 X 7, with custom orange stripes.
The tires are Goodyear Eagle GT's, 215/45/17.
The brakes are EBC slotted and dimpled rotors, with EBC Green Stuff pads.

Was able to get the stripes applied by a local painter specializing in pinstripes for $20 per wheel.

More grip, better braking, way better look.

TRD rear sway bar and Tien S Techs next..

Lookin' good. I'm a big fan of wheel pinstripes. Really sets them off.

the speed limit on the road is 45, but no one does that. i would probably say around 30 or so, he locked up his brakes. lucky me, my brakes held when he hit so i didn't hit the car in front of me.

the tail lights are messed up too. the damd kit has some gouges in the rear lip, so i'm not sure where that's gonna go.

Sorry bro. That bites bigtime. It's all fixable, but that doesn't help your spirits now. Good luck with the repairs.

I hate it when people drive by the braille method. Hope everything works out OK for you and your ride.

hey Jester....look on the bright side. if you got a buddy down at the body shop, then you got a chance to get some new mods done and let insurance foot the bill. haha.

maybe a new paint job? im hoping someone keys my car so i can get the two-tone paint i want done. haha.

anyways, good luck on the repairs. I CANT wait for my S-Tech's to get here. im hoping they get delivered and i can have them installed in the next week or two.

Nice. I love it when previous stuff carries over. Saves some coin.
