We lost. Ah well. So be it. It will be caps on, but I will get rid of the bbs sticker and make something else that makes more sense! Thanks guys for all the comments and inputs, this was seriously fun!
caps off!
The cap on but just change the centre if you do not like the red BBS.
Caps off!
OFF!
No center caps! Way less annoying to take wheels off too
Please keep the centre cap on the wheels they bring out the star lines and compliment the lines of the car, it also adds to the vechials characteristics.
Cheers👍🙏
Hullo, I wanted to say thanks for showing the fails as well as the wins. I like honesty and real people dude. Until next time, from a old retired American Master Mechanic, 👀 I'm watching you! see ya later 👋🏻🇺🇸!
I 👂 the beach in the back ground. Chill video. Love to see you getting everthing period currect. Wheels look great man 😎👊
Take a drill and put the threaded part of the bolt in the drill. Use an abrasive pad on the head of the bolt while you spin the drill to clean it up. Also, nice wheels!
i really like the dynamics of this video, i liked that moment when you couldn't find the tool to remove the nuts cover jajaja. also, the wheels looks very better without the cover, and btw the wheel guy has done a very great job!
try cold blue to blacken the bolts. don't know if you can get a hold of the stuff wherever you are, but it's to harden tools, it's a light blue liquid, turns metal things a dark gunmetal grey. also caps on but without the bbs
Gunblue doesn’t offer rust protection
Intra "Gutmann" are those wheels called indeed , I got them too for my golf mk2.
I think Im not gonna sell them fast , Ive got them pollished by a company en repainted them in the past and they looked very good (now need again some work). Ive tryed to polish the wheels myself but took it forever to do one so I let somebody else do it too.
The centercaps where even more a pain in the ass to polish haha but Ive done those myself.
You can find these wheels even in a other measurements and flat centers etc.
On car meets Ive seen very few people with these wheels ,I think they're manufactured in the late 80s?
They fitted on my car perfectly , on the back I used a small 1 cm spacer to make them a bit wider.
I placed on the centercap a grey logo wich made it look a lot better too.
Originally the bolts where made from black plastic , I had to hammer them out and put in real gold colored bolts.
I totally relate to setting tools down then a minute later wondering where in the hell I just put the tool. It drives me up the wall!!! Nice score on the wheels!
Love ya buddy, and your excellent videos. I still fall asleep at night thinking about the the word Carburette
90% of the time searching for tools, yeah thats normal, i have the same search to work ratio 😀
Keep the center caps, the wheels are designed like that 👍
Long wheel bolts are just stupid 🤪
Keep up the good work 👍
I had the same set pictured on second photo about Intra wheels, but it's Brazilian made and company was famous here in 70's and 80's, called Jolly. They were called Jarama. Nice wheels you have and keep up with the good job! Cheers!
I think the wheels look good with and without the centre caps. If you do decide to use them, I would ditch the BBS logos, and add Allen key/Hex head black bolts with washers like the jdm wheels recently shown on mighty car mods.
My vote goes to cap off. I'm a sucker for nicely polished log nuts.
Please with the center caps!...Aluline Turbine Design wheels are the best opinion for the MR2 ;)
Greetings from (W.) Germany
So true! Manaray turbina are truly gorgeous, but I couldn't find anything similar.
Yeah man they Looks cool too never seen that before
the bolt hole sticking out for the center caps doesn't please me without the cap, the cap being on gives the hole purpose and the red BBS matches the car. painting over the BBS logo black and adding the D4A logo(vinyl stencil or decal) would look sick, especially with dark anodized allen bolts if you want to spend that amount of time and money the result would be amazing ly beautiful.
Cool wheels, I would prefer the wheels with the covers. However, paint the red centers a black or greyish kind of color. Cheers!
If you wanna run long bolts I say accent the lil bolts in red. I know you made them black. I like the cap as well so if you're going to run regular lugnuts the cap is fine.
Anodise the bolts, or give them a hot oil bath to take up the carbon.
I had the same design VR but in 13x5.5 with out the centre cap in 1990 for my 86 Charade Turbo.
I like with the caps, without them looks more muscle car, with is more sports car, which suits the MR2 and it's looks better.
Somebody embraced a Gopnik meme :D
Also i think mr2 would look good on ronal r10 turbo, you still can buy them brand new btw ;)
Yes! You taught me that word and now I'm using it, pretending to be smart and all :)
My MR2 is also from Germany. I started to watch your videos long ago and got mesmerized by the AW11 MR2, don't know if you remember but i even comented the first video of the project underdog about the 4afe since i had a corolla with a 4efe (and still do, is my daily) and it was rare to find content about those engines. You might have influenced me to buy an AW11 MR2😅. It's an amazing car to drive and so rare to see in Portugal. Mine is a black 88 so they might not have met.
just realized this video is old, i thought it was published now because it was in the youtube home page😂
Wheel caps on, see if you can get Toyota or Mr2 centers
Definitely with the caps. Where are you from mate?
dartology A tiny little country in the Balkans called Bosnia.
driving 4 answers very cool! Hello from Melbourne Australia! Good to see some stuff from Bosnia. I’m really enjoying your videos. Keep it up.
HA at 1:05 I was going to get those exact work equip 01s in the right corner but I had to get Hoshino Impul G5s, actually the picture of my actual wheels are on the 5th row of that search too. SO excited to get them on my 87 AW11!
I think without wheel caps. You could paint over the bbs but then it wouldn’t have the same color as the rest of the wheel that has worn paint. Also, if you paint them, just sand down the black paint and repaint there in the same color. Keep the rest polished.
Caps on. Red matches the car
Not sure why, but I don’t like the red caps...just....I don’t know. Like the rims though. Congrats on finding those! Were the caps originally black like the spikes on the rim? That would probably look good🤔🤔
They were originally black with Intra written on them, maybe I will try to make my own and replace the bbs nonsense.
As much as I hate that the center caps say bbs, it looks so much better. Until you can get the correct ones.
How much does one of them weigh? Nice wheels too, reminds me of Autostrada wheels.
wow your german is really good!
I can speak a bit of German :)
i feel like those kids at 16:14 must've thought "someone stole his car" lmao
With the center cap but replace the red bbs with one looking sticker.
So there made in Yugoslavia or West Germany. Wow unbelievable and great history learn for those new GEN or clueless people. Sweet as wheels mate LEAVE THE CAPS on the wheels even those long extended nuts .
LOL you think that RFN doesn't exist anymore?
OMG the handstand push ups were bloody hilarious.
Gutmann was actualy a german tuner specialised in Peugeot, those wheels apparently where on 205 gti tuned by Gutmann for a moment ( I think they switch to exip after)
Please man without that thing named bbs xD, I love the part of one piece hahaha and the part with music like initial D, by the way what do you thing heat and old motor oil for your bolts?? 🤔🤔 Thanks for the video.
Haven't heard about old motor oil and heat to blacken bolts, but I will try it.
With the center cap with your decal on them instead of the bbs lol...
Without the center thing, definitely. :)
Gotta see the tire on it but I liked it more with center cap on it matches also I'm oldschool
keep the center caps they tend to be rare with wheels of that age. So, show them off!
Tere's a big flat spot at the top of the rim near the valve on the inside lip.
Very nice job on those wheels !
Great vid! I would go without the replica-lookin center caps and maybe throw on some golden colored lug nuts
ALL CAPS. Also, loving the soundtrack!
Mine has bloody 16s wearing 195x45s, the car sits too tall, handles like its running through maple syrup and it a bitch to park. Also, they're modern so they look wrong. I've found some original teardrops (for £100 inc.p&p) that I'm going to try and refurb my self. My intention is to polish the shit out of it but paint the holes grey. I've seen polished teardrop alloys before and I think they look amazing. Funny thing is, I find the availability of aftermarket alloys so much worse than they used to be. Hardly any choice anymore, and prices for new wheels are a joke too. We had it SOOO good in the 90s.
Caps on, looks cleaner on
Keep the caps on !
Gutmann was german tuning company. They did stuff like engine conversions, mostly for peugeot (google Peugeot 205 gutmann). And they sold many different wheels from exip and intra and mostly just put their stickers on the caps 😁
So i'm not sure if your wheels are really called "intra gutmann" 🤔
Mount them without because finding those centercaps if you loose one is near imposable
Hmmmm... You do have a point.
I ja bi birao opciju bez centralne kape, ali kada postavis felnu na auto, sa kapom, na kojoj je ovaj crveni stiker, lepse i cistije izgleda sa kapom i crvenim stikerom...tako da je ta opcija definitivno lepsa.
Gopnicks - haha, i supposed that this word is used just in former CIS countries but not in BIH)....@the more i know....
Nice kyusha wheels tho. Also for you, it's even harder to find suitable JDM wheels as often they have 4x 114.3 (aka 4x4.5") bolt pattern and you said that on your MR2 its 4x100
No one here uses the word. I subscriber taught me the word gopnik when I did the 318ti review and it stuck in my head. Yeah, aw11 is 4x100, but I did manage to find some retro jdm stuff in that pattern..but as I said shipping, customs and taxes means I just end up window shopping :)
with caps. i hope the red bbs thing is just a sticker :|
Yes, fortunately just a sticker :)
No Caps for me, love your videos
Ditch the centerhubcap. It looks better without.
Does that make those GDM wheels? WGDM wheels even? 😂
I already said it in another comment, but I prefer center caps on.
I actually think the red matched to the car looks really good.
Just put a screaming chicken decal on over red matched centers and they'll be perfect, hah.
Don't paint the wheels, they look good as is.
Though I dislike fake two piece wheel bolts, these are about the least offensive I have seen.
Your wood clamp method was epic, I've only used cardboard before but that wouldn't have held well.
Sorry the bolt trick didn't work, but the wheels still look bomb.
Be careful if you buy "black oxide" finish bolts, as I have found that some still rust badly.
I actually enjoyed the editing in this video, found it pretty fun, nice job.
Congrats on almost reaching 30K subs!
Hope I can win some stuff. ;)
Keep the caps on
Without covers...and these wheels deserve some nice normal bolts (maybe even black), and not some nasty red pokey thingies :P
Skidaj poklopce, przonjere van i adonizirane lug nutse stavljaj, nije kadett gsi dtm spec nego toge battle ready mr2 :D
With center cap looks better.
I've seen that one symbol on different factory rims, specifically ones the come on DSM's.
DaveBuilds Which one?
@4:42 in the red square the third line of text.
Cool wheels man
Hello i like thé both with the center cover it's make à little bit like à Ferrari f40 ( that i dont like so much but on your MR it's ok)
And without, it's make much more drift car and it's 😍 for me
Now it's your car!!!!
Anthony Korvex Tu parle français ?
vapor4den oui enfin j'essaye, désolé pour mon anglais 😌
Anthony Korvex C'est ton autocorrecteur de français qui trahit lol Ton anglais est pas si mal 😉
Really like the new video style by the way!
Senpai noticed me, by the way i would leave it with the hub covers
White out the BBS taps
Pull a Tommyfyeah and have the bolts zinc plated
With the caps
Without Cap ! look better have less flat effect .
with the centercap
without the cover and anodized red lugnuts.
+1 Caps on
Gopnik BMW? ) Where did you got that word from?
P.S. Love the videos though 👏
Андрей Сидельников где про гопников было ? Время ролика есть ??
Смотри с 0:25
Андрей Сидельников хаха, точно, только что пересмотрел и посмеялся.
With centre cap
I would go with the caps and get rid of the bbs symbol
Love the wheels btw
Caps on.
Bro..why didn't you get carbon fiber wheel, from Germany, Japan.. or even Thailand. Light weight, less drag, more fuel efficiency, more power..
I have cheap knock offs of your new wheels. I'm stoked.
Personally I like them without the Caps 😎
As you can tell I'm watching and commenting. The one piece show cutaway was amazing and made me really happy. Used to watch that on Saturdays and at the public library on the internet lol
No caps sir
importing 4x 14" wheels from japan to the USA cost me $100-$200 to my door. is it really that much more to go to europe?
Shipping between USA and Japan is very different from Europe and Japan. USA and Japan have agreements that my country and Japan don't, so in the end it's the taxes and importing fees that make it unreasonable. Shipping alone is also in the neighborhood of 500$, because there are no regular freight routes and what not to my country.
Omg I need parts for my 1988 mr2
The giveaway will be soon. I will be giving away all sorts of parts, both used and new :)
Keep the center caps
Leave the center caps just replace the fake BBS sticker with a period correct Toyota sticker!!!
With the center cap, but different logo, and edit the video.
Gopnik Bmw's 😂😂😂
is it me or the new wheels and the old ones r the same design, the star. only a couple thing r different.
Caps on but Paint over the bbs : )
Seeka xo why then wheels are devalued and not correct. Maybe shut up you kid I like it’s passed your bed time
Wtf haha chill out bro, not sure why it would devalue because they aren't actually bbs. Why are you so worked up over my comment? lol :)
Gaz Girl lol they’re not bbs wheels. How tf would that devalue them?
He asked what I thought would look best and I answered, who gives a shit about the value. Lmao
Seeka xo and this guy this “Glazgirl” talks about “new gen” people being clueless in other comments lol
no cap boi
With cover
Without center caps but with extended wheel studs and non red lug nuts. Stud should protrude further than the lug nut.
Norevlimitr clueless , also look at the holes where the nuts go on are tapered because you need tapered nut to suit. So the caps can go on .
Norevlimitr oi fuckwit who said anything about being a woman.did you assume because it says girl in my username ???!! Wow you assume too much or believe and hear anything you are told stfu you Zionist of Israel slave .not even even close I bet my missus knows more about cars then you 😂😂
Norevlimitr wow you used the Internet or google to find out things because you haven’t a clue about anything automotive or car retailed stuff . Troll
Intra-sting 🤔
I got MOMO FERRARI 15 INCH, BUT PCD NEEDS TO BE CHANGED..
I like them without!!!
My *INITIAL* idea . . .
Without the covers. Weight saving brah.
better without cap
West Germany is unofficial name, RFN still exist...
Without 😉
