How deep is your dish?
What is more kyusha than a really deep dish set of RS Wantanabe rims?
Two 12J wide 14 inch RS Wantanabe rims
RS Wantanabe was one of the first alloy rims manufacturers in Japan and these 8 spoke rims have been manufactured since the start of the company in 1968!
Deepest lip on RS Wantanabe possible
These rims are the widest RS Wantanabe wheels available and have an offset of -57! I wouldn’t buy these rims in this auction: they are damages and two new rims bought at the factory cost less than these two!
You can find them for sale here:

Popular Bosozoku cars: Toyota Mark II platform
Most of you probably already saw a video posted by white_raven in the comments of last weeks rare popular bosozoku cars posting
Well this video is actually the first of a set of 3 videos about the Toyota Mark II platform. It starts with three bosozoku styled Mark IIs (RT72, MX31 and GX71), a clean tuned Mark II (JZX90) and finishes with the Verossa JZ110 drift car.
Part one contains last weeks bosozoku styled Corona Mark II RT72 and the first part of a bosozoku styled Mark II MX31:
Good detail is that this RT72 has the 8R engine and not the 8R-G, so it is not the GSS model.
Part two contains the second part of the Mark II MX31, the bosozoku styled Mark II GX71 and the clean tuned JZX90:
Note that the GX71 did get a 7M swap, so actually it became a MX71.
BTW: I love the way the tsurikawa is dangling behind the MX31 at 0:25 and scraping over the highway: the only correct way to make use of a tsurikawa! Anyone got a spare one for me? 😀
And part 3 contains Hirota’s 2007 JZX110 Verossa drift car:
So a big thanks to white_raven for finding these videos!! 🙂
Hopefully these videos will stay on Youtube for a while, but I’m afraid they will disappear very soon…

During my seek for bosozoku lifestyle videos I came across someone posting a series of videos about the police versus bosozoku. Apparently the problems were that big that it got big media attention and it even got its own tv show in 1992!
It is funny to see it from both sides: police getting prepared to stop the bosozoku and the bosozoku getting prepared to either mock the police or to bypass the roadblock.

This week some USDM deep dish rims:
Fake SSR Mk. I rims?
Even though these rims look really well on this Toyota Cressida they are fakes! To me these imitation SSR Mk. I rims are unknown but it is quite obvious they are copied from the SSR Mk. I.
However the Cressida itself is the best looking zokusha outside Japan I’ve ever seen!
Best looking zokusha Cressida outside Japan
This Cressida has oldskool curbfeelers. Haven’t seen those since my stepdad had to remove them from his Datsun 100a due to stricter law prohibiting them to be mounted on any car in Holland.
