I've had a long week trying to get this car done for HIN, and I'm not even close to getting done. The car will be at the Falken booth.

I'd like to Thank Robert (aka {-.-} ), for sourcing the wheels.

I'll take more and better shots later
The Profound by Fabulous has been one of my favorite rims ever since I first saw it in another thread on this site a while back. This is the first time I have seen a pic of them on someone's car other than one provided by the manufacturer. With those specs, I would guess you have about 2 3/4" lip in front and all of 4" in the rear. Did you find a good hook-up for these rims? The retail price in chrome is over a $1000/rim. How long do they take to arrive once the order is placed? What's the construction quality and finish like?

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

I have liked these wheels for a long time, but couldn't find a dealer for them. As soon as Fabulous USA opened, I have inquired about the wheels and were ready to purchase them. At the same time, my good friend Robert said he knew someone that was getting rid of their set. At roughly 1/3 the cost of new ones, I decided to buy the used set and have them repolished. With all the cost of the wheels, shipping and repolish, I have spent a little less than 2/3 of what it would have cost me brand new.

Front fenders are rolled and pulled about 5 - 10mm, and the rear fender lip have been cut to leave a 10mm lip.

what are the lip sizes? and do you still have your Supra TT calipers?
Thanks Eric, I was told that these wheels had a 41mm hub clearance, and the TT calipers fit w/o issues.

Like Eric said, it's a custom front bumper. Along with the Veilside hood and exec wing, L-tuned sides and Explosion rear.

Thanks again everyone

I'll have more pics later

Off to HIN

One more pic

Looks killer! Love seeing a VIP car NOT in black... shows the lines of the car better.

Wheel offsets are very close to my new set- you may have some competition soon!
