I actually found mine pretty easily. I looked on CL and there was a guy in McDonough selling them. It was actually like it was meant to be the way it all happened.

I hope you find a set soon.

If interested, I'd be willing to trade you my rear 17x9's for your extra set of 17x8's.

Nice find on the supra TT wheels. You can run some pretty aggressive tire sizing on them (im running 275 in the rear) without body work. I wanted to increase performance while also having an aggresssive stance. If you can get them polished, its very well worth the money and will definitely stand out in a good way on your GS.

The previous owner rattle canned them black so I'll have to strip the paint then doing a silver flake. I've gotta get one more set. Ive only got one set of 17×8. Ive got nixspeed helping me look for some on Craig'slist. Im running all 17×8 on all four for ease of tire rotation then on the 17×9 running et street tread slicks for drag racing when I get back into it.

No luck yet. Still looking.

Just so you know, I'm running a 295 rear and I have so much room to go in. With the right offset you can easily run a 315.

Once you get a set of 17x9.5s they will look so good on there you will change your mind haha.

These are the reason I'm going 17×8 on all four with the supra wheels. Lol

Xxr 535. 17×9. I'll be running 305 on all four wheels with these bad boys.

I want to run one size wheel all the way around. I don't care what if it's the 8's or 9's.

Default These things are huge....

I ordered the calipers and the rotors. When I started considering the upgrade, I read the calipers were big. I knew they would be larger than the stock GS caliper, but damn! These calipers are huge!! I can't wait to put them on.

I want to paint them gold. Is there any prep work I need to do? I know I need to tape off the pistons. Is there anything else?

Awesome!! Please post some pics when you are done with the install and give a review on how the pedal feels after the install. Are you running SS brake lines too?

Yeah, I'm going to run the SS brake lines. I will definitely post pics after the install is done.
