Default Greddy PEII

Hey Sasha, and others who like Greddy exhaust.... Look at this site and check out the Greddy PE II. I didnt know there was a PEII, but I think the smaller canister looks better and is more functional than the PE. There doent appear to be an application for the GS/Aristo yet but I wonder if it is upcoming? Also, it shows that there is a model MX available for the GS?? Am I reading that right?
Is the PEII a new item, or is it old news???

Hey tiny,

have you looked thru the prices on the site on our beloved wheels? bishop from hong kong gave me this site ~1 month ago. the co has lots of stuff, but they are selling at almost full retail prices from japan, plus SHIPPING...

the co. seemed quite legit, but the price is kind of hard to swallow..:eek:

Im not sure about ALL web-sites, but, often times when you call you will get better pricing than what is advertised.(at least that has been my experience with car parts) Those 19" RH-C5's sure do look tempting dont they RA?..heehee
But I think I am going to have to have three inch lips as part of my wheel choosing criteria....Maybe it was fate that Dave F'ed up my Equips... J/K Tiny

Yeah, another C5. It really gives GS a very sporty look. The only drawback is that I couldn't put on aftermarket brake kit. However, I'm buying 19" from a Supra guy so it should have no problem with Supra kit......right?

Whats up Will, how are you?
I love those wheels, but even with the SupraTT fitment you will only get a TWO inch rear lip.....The SupraTT brakes will be perfect, but those C-5 lips arent as big as some others...RA, you should double check that if you are trying for three inch lips...

There Sasha goes again, misleading j/k

MX has applications for 1st gen Aristo, as well as 2JZ-GE and GTE versions for the 16x series.

Hard to request? You gotta have hookups man~

tiny,

i am fine, thanks. how about you man?

unless you have a set, any brand, custom made, otherwise it is mighty difficult to get more than 2" lip for the front with supratt break appl. as you said, the c5 lip is not as impressive as some other wheels. so if you want 3" for the back(which i think is awesome), you prob need to look at other rims.

I'm not really into lips and stuffs so C5 is totally fine with me. The bigger the lip, the easier to bend on the track.
