Okay, finally got my wheels in and had them mounted along with some Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's. Here are the specs:
Rear: 255/40/17 (9.5")
Front: 235/45/17 (8.0")

I'm really liking the setup. I tested the tires the other night by flooring it in first going out a parking lot. With the old 6.5" tires, I would have done a 360, but these barely made a squeak.

This first pic is when I bought the car bone stock last may. Wheel pics are below.

Im dieing to find some supra tt wheels like those!! Where did you get them and do they have more? How much did they cost? Thanx a lot for the help!!

TGRich

I found these on ebay for a really good price. At the time, they were just the stock aluminum finsih and they had a bit of curb rash. I sent them out to California Chrome to be polished and chromed, and that's it. They got all the curb rash out and did a nice job on the chrom IMO.

I got a non-chrome set last fall, in nice shape from 1800usedrim.com for $950 shipped. I will mount 'em this summer with new tires (agh! What tires to get?) and will post pix when I get 'em fitted. reeeeally like the way they fill out the fenderwells!

Original wheels and shipping from Ohio to California- $390
Chrome job and return shipping- $600
Tires- $420 with shipping included from Tire Rack (remember to follow a link from Club Lexus- it supports the forum)

I've seen people pay $700 not including shipping for these wheels in a polished finish with some minor curb rash. For a couple hundred more I got fresh chrome- I think I did okay anyway.

Gorgeous wheels. The way the SC300 should look from the factory. Definitely not too bling bling, but just right.

BTW.... Those are just dying for 275/40s in the back! 9.5" is ample for that width of tire.

Dam thats nice, thats what my car is suppose to look like, if that guy didn't f' me. Goes well, congrats, hope you enjoy, I have no idea what I will do now, probably wait till I can afford some bigger wheels. You can get real good deals for rims and rubber tt chrome... but in my opinion when you are spending that much I would rather get bigger wheels. They sure do look nice, sure its worth every penny. The biggest problem I found with those rims are... the T on the center cap that the polished ones come with.

TGRich

Well, considering I spent half of what I was going to originally, I think I came out okay. I was going to get SSR GT-3's in 18's. That would have been twice as much and hardly worth 1" I think. Now that I don't have grandma wheels anymore I can work on other mods and when I am done modding, then I will come back to the wheels again probably.

Oh, California Chrome also provided me with the chromed "T-less" center caps and valve stems.

Ya don't get me wrong, they are awesome... you got a wicked deal. That is definately the look I wanted on my car, I just couldn't get it. And ya I know that 18s are double, and your rims are basically as close to new as used rims get. You should be super happy with that setup. The stories I could tell about the lost deals on supra rims. 5 deals gone sour, bad luck I guess.
