```
Back in the day having wheels in any other color then polished was considered unique and
```
rebelious. Now days, it’s a fad just to have odd color wheels, and having black wheels is part of the norm.
```
So what does one have to do to stand out of the croud and be unique? Black chrome is becoming more and more
```
common, “invisible” wheels are nothing new, spinners are going out of style, and all the colors of the rainbow have been used up.
So what do you do? Simple. Start mixing.
```
Elliot Smeltzer has been a part of the scene for years, being a vice president of one of the most successful local car clubs
```
(Swat), he knows a thing or two about cars. This is where a 1991 Toyota Mr2 comes in. Being not the one to blend in, Elliot got a
rare car to begin with and made it truly one of a kind. Less then 20,000 Mk2 Mr2’s were imported to US through out all the years of
production, and finding one now days in good condition is no small feat. Not only this originally NA Mr2 is now turbo, but it is
powered by a Gen3 motor that was ripped directly out of JDM rear clip by Elliot himself in his garage. After giving it the power it
deserves, Elliot went to work on the body giving it a two tonepaintjob and having front and rear fender flared to give it the
appearance the car truly should have had from the factory.
```
Among the various JDM and carbon fiber goodies, one mod definatly stands out more then any other, yep the wheels. The
```
wheels are Jline 6rl2’s, and the unique color is pink chrome.
```
This just covers the bases, this car has so much to offer that we will come back to it and do an in-depth second feature
```
in a future issue. If we were to get into the details of this car in this issue… we would run out of room.
