We recently had the pleasure of meeting Paul Pettit and getting to know the intricacies of his stunning 2012 Toyota TRD GT86.
Being the show-stopper that this 86 is, we were excited to supply Paul with a set of WedsSport SA10R wheels, showcased during the recent Toyota Festival at Hampton Downs Motorsport Park.
Now not only does this 86 come with the title of New Zealand TRD86 Number 4 (of only nine sold in NZ), we're also told that Paul's pride and joy is the only only official TRD86 GT spec manual in the world.
Naturally, the dash signed by Tetsuya Tada - Toyota 86 Chief Engineer & Father of the 86 is a small daily reminder of just how unique these specimens are, and we're really loving the look which the WedsSport wheels add to the overall package.
