Youre right and wrong.

American goes buy the model year of the car not the production date. While Japan goes by the production date. Therefore say you have a Supra built in Aug of 1990. It would be considered a 1991 Model in the States but in Japan its still considered a 1990 model due to the production date.

JZA70's went into production in April of 1990, (and they all got 5 spokes 16x7 +44mm offset) The TT-R got the same wheels only in Gunmetal.
Technically for Japan August 1990 was the end for the sawblades. Some models still got them.

I just went through all the Japanese Brochures and Accesory catalogs and theres nothing about some special 16x7.5 7 spoke rims. Im sorry you need to check your info cause im pretty sure that its not factory.


Just curious, where do you find stuff like the brochure's and catalogs? Also, I already admitted to being wrong on the wheel issue. But like someone already said, in japan Lexus is toyota so anything lexus here has toyota labeling there. I will show you the wheels as soon as I get a chance so you can see, that just because some brochure or catalog doesn't have it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Anyways, thank you for explaining the year thing. I didn't know that.

I have a 1990 TTR. Explain that...


Just curious about where you live. If its in the U.S. then chances are its not genuine. Second about the year issue refer to the post above by JDMMA70.

Where or who is your contact in Australia? I have been trying to track down a set of ducts for my lip for almost a year now :cry:. Every one I have contacted says they cant get them. Plus I even made a thread here on trying locate a set.

We could try to locate a set in Germany, technically basically :D Or you have tried already? ((I have a set lying around that I got for 20 euros :D Not giving away though :D))

Cool! That's a first for me. Can you provide a better pic of the face? What's the HKS model #?

Does it do anything other than showing what gear your in?

also shows when your car shifts into overdrive.
and it shows what gear yout auto is actually in,
where the indicator on the dash just shows where you have the shift lever set.

Got a Turbo-A ECU anywhere?
Do you want a pic of the ecu or are you actually after buying one?
i've actually seen a few for sale on E-bay and should have grabbed them when i had a chance.
