Thanks,

Highlander/Kluger Sport Wheel specs:

Made in USA by CMC/CLA
19 x 7.5
5 x 114
+35 offset *
29lbs each**

*Will clear the 06 300 front brake by 1-2mms., 350/430/460s will definitely require spacers
**Hardcore OEM construction- Most important (to me), withstands daily beater rigors...IS-F wheel weights 21-25lbs by comparison.

^^Thats where the knowledge of proper sequenced wheel bolt tightening/loosening comes into play, and test spinning the wheel by hand after mounting.
Don't be surprised - a LOT of wheel shops does not even know the proper sequence of wheel tightening/loosening; torqueing...They just want you to pay up....

!!!WOW!!! if the highlanders around 29lbs, i can only imagine the venzas 20"s weight...I think, that the venzas clear 350's calipers though without spacers...

Before i took the plunge on the 5-spoke Kluger Sport wheels, i also considered the 10-spoke Kluger Hybrid 19s.

PS compliments of the one and only Mr. DJ

*My daily beater needs major detailing before i post pics- kidding aside*

Will LS wheels fit on a GS? The LS has some good looking 19" wheels.
