wow thanks guys!

i wouldnt exactly say the TSW wheels are that bad... they retail for $380 EACH... but i can get a good deal on them for $400 (SET).

anyhow, i have already purchased the TEIN SS with EDFC and plan on dropping it in during this chirstmas break.... i've been suppper duppper busy with classes.

i totally see where you all are coming from about saving up for a set of wheels that i realllllllly like... im starting to regret purchasing the ENKEI's, a couples years back.

LET ME ASK YOU GUYS ONE MORE *STUPID* QUESTION

i am going to stick to the ENKEIs for now... and dropp the car with the TEIN SS in a couple of weeks. SHOULD I JUST GET SOME SPACERS FOR THE REAR TO TEMPORARILY GET THE "STANCE" I WANT???

THANKS CL!!!! (im starting to feel the love within the LEXUS family!)

Questions are never truly stupid. That's how we learn.

If you don't plan to get wheels for awhile (time to save ), rear spacers are a good stop gap for what you want. Just make sure you get a good set of hubcentric spacers. You will need to figure out how big of a spacer based on the current wheel's offset.
