how about a oldskool meet.

[scope]

not sure. i am told they still make them in 14" 245/50/14 and 265/50/14 for all the v8's. here is a useless fact, if it's a sf-330 eager then it's 50 profile, sf-340 is 60 profile

they are useless tyres but people want them so they can reach rediculous(sp) prices as Willdat? said

[Willdat?]

As for why they went out of production they are still probably relatively obscure sizes, certainly not a factory item on ANY cars, perhaps as the 'old skool' cars have dissolved into rust or turned into projects rather than daily drivers there is less demand for them...having never driven on them I can't personally talk about their performance but have heard Lloyd giving them a bashing...

[Alex B]

Funny thing is that they are on his ke20
Yep your quite right scope, they still make them in 14's.

[Lloyd]

Bashing.... not really. Though I got pulled up for it. Crappiest tyre ever in the wet but they look so good. And who forgot to mention Superlites? And Tridents? I've got 13x6 Tridents on the Starlet, 13x6 Superlitews on the KE20 and 13x7 Spitties on the KE36.

Got the Starlet a few days ago AJz, getting rid of the Familia and need a hack car. I'll try and get a pic of it at some stage.

I admit mazdas have some damn cool alodskool cars.
i love the rx2 sedan and rx3 sedans & coupes.

but i cant get past the toyotas reliability. Every 1 i Know who has had a rotor has had big rota bills and its blown up on them. Not that im having a dig at rotas. i love em 2...

go the mighty toyotas

in the end ild put old toyotas on the same level as old mazdas.there styled similar anyway.(dont u all reckon)?

as for eagers they hold the road quite well in the dry in the wet you mite aswell be on slicks the useless.

yea they look awesome its just white writing.

[MasCam]

I can't believe that no-one mentioned hurricanes the best oldskool wheel that you can get

similar to these

[scope]

you sure you not talking about cheviot turbos??? they look like that but with more spokey things

[Willdat?]

*shudders*

Cheviot turbos in gold....

[ke25sr]

Turbos = gayer than FWD

there quite a bit cooler.

[AE85coupe]

haha you spaz ke25sr

man turbos are butt $&#$% ugly

old school toyotas are where its at, i really don't see anything in new school cars like yours barryogen

just so common, and front wheel drive, and expensive

give me an old rwd toyota, throw the money at it you would usually spend buying a newer car, and bam, twice as fun and just as fast

but of course we see like at least 20 RunX corolla's a day, i mean at least that......

mix of both i think is good. Anybody know who has the red 86 with the plate "4E86". Its damn tasty.

Would love to get my hands on a TA22 Celica

[AE85coupe]

yeah i spose a run-x is kinda oddball

still just a fwd corolla to me

big bonus with new cars is creature comforts, only reason i would have one personally

as far as a fun car to drive, its gotta be old school (as far as toyotas go anyway) rwd new school toyotas can be forgiven though... but still, they just don't have the same... feel

Mine didn't blow up when I owned it and I had mine for 5 yrs!
Sorry bout the whole "you never getting to drive it" thing.
It was shane's fault! His driving scared me into selling it!
