    Gorgeous! But are those our old wheels with the trim rings removed?

    No. They seem to be extended spokes so the trim won't fit at all. I wish we could all get the JDM wheels... i just hate these rings.

    Aren't those are full-coverage plastic plates with spokes (over the real alloy wheels)? I prefer the rings.

    Hey, that looks just like mine :)

    The wheels are alloys with plastic trim covering them. The trim does just cover the spokes though, you can still see through the wheels.

    Your guys' on switch is in a different place though? Mine is to the right of the steering wheel down low, just under the heater vent.

    Ours is up on the dash to the right of the wheel.

    I thought the UK model had it such that it was a mirror image? I didn't know it was set up like Japan and Australia where the POWER button is on the silver vent cover. I remember Jeremy Clarkson starting it with his left hand.

    I like the wheels A LOT. Funny how they have the FOB in the slot in that car...maybe they didn't have a pocket to put it in? ;)

    They always show that, even in the video from Toyota Canada.
