Actually, the beer in the Philippines is not that bad - could be the
heat. Similarly, after setting up several manufacturing lines in the
Philippines I can honestly tell you that Ford, Toyota and many other
major manufacturers have major operations and are fabricating the parts
for your cars in the Philippines. They have access to technology and the
best materials and because of our relationship in WWII they ALL are
taught very good English in grade school which makes manufacturing down
there fabulous.
There are many after-market wheels I personally would never put in a
stressful environment with tiny spokes but the 8 spoke Rota has a nice
cross section and with that price I would love to put them on my street
car as I am in a dilemma with my steel wheels right now. Tires are tough
to get and I learned the rims are not safety rims which means a high
speed (60mph not high speed for FOT'rs) flats can be dangerous - not to
mention that they frequently crack and mine were raced for years in the
60s and lived through my teenage years.
So my question is just what wheels of their line might fit? They have
15x7 and 15x8 with 4mm and 12mm offsets. Sounds like spacers and
interference for a TR3 since most aftermarket wheels sold for TR3 stop
at 5.5". I am intrigued by their 16x7's for a lower profile outlaw look
- they have the same offsets. Anyone have experience fitting these up to
a TR3? I just don't want tires sticking out the fenders don't really
care if my turning radius is hindered.
Best,
Mark
