And seriously, on the Privat wheels, are you serious man. Those are a joke, go for some sick name brand 19's. For the same price as those garbage rims, you could find it easy. Like i said just have some patience and keep checking up on craigslist

I need help guys, lol, fiancee said i could get rims/tires if i kept it @ or below $1100
similar size to the sale thread you posted.
this is a stern 18x9.5+20. the car was on tokico blues and eibach spring at the time. it had a 255/35/18 tire. very minor stretch. needed a minor roll. if the car was 1" lower it would clear with no fender modifications.







this was a pretty conservative setup at the time for me

current wheels:

enkei rp03 18x10+22 all around 245/40/18 tires all around




they only cost me 1300 with tires. i bought then with very good space dunlop dz101 in 255/35/18.

the deals are out there.

as mentioned before though. go on zilvia and check their wheel/tire classified. lexus owners are asking retarded amount of money for wheels sometimes. zilvia is more manageable. CL is a great place to sell though

Especially with the way the economies going right now, people are selling some name brand stuff for very cheap just to get some money in their hand. Thats my advice to you bro, good luck!

Thanks so much for all the pics bro, VERY helpful. I dont want anything crazy huge 19's+ or 9"+, nor do they have to be considered for a major drop because i cant have one around where i live.

if you want to be conservative and still look good look for something like a 18x8-9 with +20ish offset. it will look good with stock to mild drop SC.

Lol.. I know, roght? I guess I should have elaborating more deeply about my extreme displeasure of having the RP03's sold from under me before I ever even saw the offer. Oh well, that's how the game goes.

BTW, UZZ30-SC4, your avatar gives me the chuckles...

Good luck w/ whatever setup you decide on!
