Looks beautiful bro! I can't wait to see em in person at the next meet.

I think you've inspired me to look into a pair of these for myself.

Now get a good drop and you're set.

Looks nice. Whey they were in your trunk and back seat, they didn't look that great. But once mounted,

Tom, this sucks. Now I have the worse OEM rims at the meets. Thanks a lot man.... btw I'm being sarcastic. They look great! 10X better than the other ones. See you next week.

I've got the same wheels on my SC300 with tire size of 225/45 17. I'm looking to put some spacers on mine though. What size spacers would I need and where is the best place to get them?

They were used ... they are Bridgestone Turanza EL42 235/45/17.

I found them locally on Craigslist. The four on the car are in decent shape, about 70% tread, but slight uneven wear. They fifth tire was brand new with all the little nubbies, but somehow has a really thin nail in it. I just got it patched since it was not on a rim, and I will use it if necessary. ya know?

Yikes, those got pretty bad reviews on tirerack but I suppose for 20 dollars each ya cant complain. Use these for now and save up for some decent summer tires! I'm partial to Kumho Ecsta SPT for budget performance tires ($99 each).

Because it's a good slogan and applies to all cars?

Well, if you say so...but I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone on here when I say that there is no need to ask a Lexus owner that question.

Does anyone know if I need hubcentric spacers for OEM wheels?

Also any size suggestions (spacers) that you have seen before, and know look good.

looks great, and a huge improvement over the stock ones. What did you use to clean them up?
