Rim opinions
Hey folks, just looking for some opinions on these rims. I like them but the debate with the wife is that although she likes them, they are not for a luxury car. I got them used with tires already mounted on them so the tires are a size too small. They are 19" RUFF 278's with 235/35/19 tires on them. Cheking around it seems like 235/45/19 are the right fit.

They're o.k., but nothing too dramatic or distinctive. Definately needs bigger tires. Perhaps if the spokes were a little thicker, they would be better. You really cant go wrong if you got a great deal on them.
Also, tint the car! It would really look great. The darker windows would complement the dark shadows behind the wheels since they're more exposed.

I agree with leets. If you like them that is all that counts. However I am pretty sure that you are unsure being that you are asking for others opinions.
IMO lowered with bigger tires will make a big difference

Thanks for the replies, I was looking for some type of 5 spoke design to expose the drilled/slotted rotors I recently installed and yes I got a really good deal on them since these rims and tires were on my brother-in-laws IS300. The tires were already mounted on the rims and when we first put them on, I didn't expect to even be able to ride on them thinking it would be too harsh beacuse I needed 45's instead f the 35's. But after testing them and seeing how they looked the ride is not that bad at all, although not nearly as nice as the stock set-up. I like the look of the rims and the offset is perfect on the car, they are a keeper

Here is another question, Tirerack recommends 245/40/19 instead of a 235/45/19 is there much of a difference in height? I'm looking to smooth out the ride as much as possible. thanks

For luxary car, I would recomend something more bulky.
On my SC, I originally went with Maya GR5 but the spokes were to thin so I end up going with Work Exxe wheel (Euroline S2H). Looks much better.
