How stretched is your tire?
Okay, there are bead blasters to do the job, but doing it with brake cleaner is always a much nicer way to do it. At least for the videos that is… 😀
86jnosakuretu48te tried to follow ae86lan’s instruction video but failed the first two attempts. But he surely made a lot of flames! 😀
So, you may ask yourself why ignite the brake cleaner with a lighter when you could have done it in a much safer way:
First comment popping up in my head is:
I’m the self-inflicted, punk detonator.
Yeah, I’m the one invented, twisted animator.
I’m a firestarter, twisted firestarter,
you’re the firestarter, twisted firestarter.

Probably already posted on every other blog you read, but I surely felt it needed to be posted on bosozoku style as well! The Kenmeri Skyline C110 on Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 (picture shot by Nori Yaro):
Rays TE37V on a Kenmeri Skyline C110!
This Kenmeri Skyline C110 was styled by HAC together with AE86 tuner Impulse. Impulse provided both the 8J Rays TE37V rims and the 6 pot Endless brake conversion for this Kenmeri.
Somehow I don’t mind the TE37V being only 8J. They fit nicely under the C110 fenders and if would have been a bit too much to show off with wider TE37V.

About a month ago I posted a set of Work Equip 01s:

Go hurry and get them here or wait till the next time they are put up for sale again with, hopefully, another price drop! 😉

A few years back the Hayashi Sakura wheels were a very rare find! Since a few years these retro vintage wheels are being reproduced in various sizes, including these 12Js:
Hayashi Sakura 14 inch 12J
Sakura (???) means Cherry Blossom. As you can see the inside of these rims have a cherry blossom shape. Sakura is associated with good fortune, love, affection and represents spring. I couldn’t think of any better rims than these!
This set of two has never been used and are in perfect condition. Consider the size of 12J to be as rare as the 7J variants were a few years back. 😉
Apparently they are made of real cherry blossoms: the seller wants 230000 yen (2500 dollars) for this pair!
You can find the auction here:

I saw an ad on auctions yahoo with some 15 inch 10J SSR Formula Mesh rims:

Now, those rims are already quite special by itself, but the car featuring them was even better: a Mazda RX3 with some wide wide wide fenders!

The Mazda RX3 is looking very serious: wide fenders, bucket seats and an old school lip! Note the 13B-Garage sticker here: this car is featuring a tuned 13B from a SA22C!
