I have S-Stars but not in Chrome, they are gunmetal. Mine are 19X8.5 in the front and 19X9.5 in the rear. I'll try to post some pictures this afternoon.

Keep in mind that from what I understand Sevas is no longer in business, so you might not get much support in terms of a warranty.

For tires, a good recommendation would be to go with 245/35/19 for all 4 since they are not staggered. Although I have not owned any Sevas wheels in the past, there was a quality issue (structural integrity) maybe 1 1/2 years ago. I suspect Sevas has solved many of these quality issues, especially with their new forged line which some have noted is being manufactured at a completely different facility. This is not to say if you have the 1-piece cast wheel (such as S-star), that your wheel will be guaranteed to have quality issues down the line. It is something that should be mentioned and brought to your attention since you asked. Please remember that even the highest quality wheels (even forged) will be prone to damage. You have to be alert when driving and steer clear of road hazards to avoid damaging your wheels. This is the best defense for your wheel because there is no such thing as an "unbreakable" wheel. Happy modding!

where are you getting these at? pm me..i've been looking for that kind of fitment FOREVER on those rims. the local sevas rep told me that they are only available in 19x9.5" staggered but at a lower than 25 offset and that's too aggressive cus it will cause me to rub.

i don't have those rims but i have 19"s and i have 245/35/19 in the fronts and they don't rub at all. run all the same size tires so u can rotate them and make your tires last a little longer.

FYI.. 19"s tires are more expensive than 20"s.

Heres a pic of my GS300 with 19x8.5 Sevas S-Star in silver finish. Sorry for the crappy phone pic though. And yes, it will be lower when my Tanabe DF210 arrive at the end of May

looking to get 1k for this package locally or 1k+shipping anywhere in the United States plus 3% paypal.

The wheels are 8.5s all around. 5- 114.3 +20 offset fits supras,lexus gs,mustangs,hondas etc etc

The Two rear tires (brand new) are a brand called (Clear) 235-35-19 . Now the front tires are included but need to be replaced.I would say 50% remaining
