I'll tell you what. By looking at the wheels themselves, they don't look bad. Then I see them mounted on the Solara and they don't do a damn thing for me. Wheels are a touchy because they can look good off of a car, but only be able to look as good if not better on certain cars. Plus, the money is absolutely outrageous for unchromed wheels. You are paying for the TRD badge.

Would be nice to get the dual, cat-back exhaust pictured in the link, eh?

I like the wheels and the dual exhaust. How much?

Also, I noticed the rear spoiler on the Solara they pictured was part of the trunk lid. Whereas on the on the my 04 Solara the spoiler is definitely an add-on. Could it be the Solara pictured is an 05?

Yeah, I love that dual exhaust!! The wheels cost the dealer 1545.62 retail is 2207.15

Not really a bad price considering they come with michelin tires.
The bumper cover in the pic is different than the standard one.

In the picture on the link it seems the lens on the tail lights is all red. Is that just a bad picture and the lens is amber and red like the 04s, or is the lens all red?

I like the all red look. Wonder if this may be a change in the 05s?

by **TW85** » Wed May 19, 2004 7:44 pm

The lights are just like the '04.

i love the duals but think the rims are ugly... just my opinion though...

by **dabuda** » Tue May 25, 2004 7:04 am

rims dont look good at all

im not to impressed with those wheels, I like the gen 1 trd wheels better

by **yanges** » Wed May 26, 2004 6:47 pm

those are pretty nice but i recently saw some 'Italia'? wheels on a '04 Solara and they really looked Great! they were black spoked with polished rim on a Black SLE...

only thing is, this guy told me that the wheels and tires listed for $5000! i am not sure what he paid but i can not find those wheels anywhere to check them out...

The optional 18" BBS wheels look much better in my opinion; they'll still tack on $1800 as an option so I stuck with the stock 17s for now.
