How deep is your dish?
I always liked the Techno Shadow design, especially if the rim is as deep as these ones:

I found this set of 14 inch rims (two 13J wide and two 11J wide) on Auctions Yahoo.
The seller mentions Kenmeri and Laurel, so you don’t have to guess long what cars these rims would suit best!

They are not cheap though: the current bid is already at 800,000 yen (9500 us dollars) and the buy me now price is 1,000,000 yen (12,000 us dollars) and for that hefty sum of money you can probably buy a whole lot of C130 Laurels to fit them on. 😉

Even if the price may sound steep: these rims are not being made anymore and finding a full matching set is like winning the price in a lottery. Perhaps you will need to win that price too to be able to buy these babies. 😉

This picture of a Grachan Mazda Capella RX2 almost ended up in my Family Album Treasures, but I thought it was way too cool for that! 😉

The picture was taken 30 years ago and the person who posted it had fond memories of it as a child. Must have been one hell of an intimidating car when seen through the eyes of a child.

One of the Youtube members I follow, Pipiyumio, posted a whole bunch of old early nineties Kaido Racer videos. I really liked one in particular: Behold all four parts of the Sunrise runaway!
The quality is a bit shabby, but it is a rip from a DVD R+ taken from an old VHS cassette. But that can’t spoil the fun! 😉

And last, but not least:
Around the world in 40 days
No, I’m not taking on any bets and certainly not going to do Michael Palins effort in half the time…
It is all about this envelope I received earlier this week: one of the orders for the Bosozoku Style Coloringbook than was returned to sender. Not that it is that odd, but what was odd was the state of the envelope:
Around the world in 40 days
It went all the way to New Zealand (about on the opposite site of the earth for me) and back in 40 days! I do use thick and heavy envelopes with a solid back to send it to the buyers who are not on the continent. And miraculously the contents survived well enough to be resent to the buyer (with a new address) so it was a good thing to take those precautions! 🙂

To break the habbit of posting way too many Skylines and Laurels (hey, I can’t help the fact that they are so popular!) here is a Celica RA28 with some deep dished SSR Mk IIs for a change:

According to the owner they were bought on Auctions Yahoo and are 10J wide.
Maybe 10J is a bit too wide for this Celica. Just see for yourself:

Perhaps some fender extenders would solve this “problem”?
