What about these Rims on a SC300 ??? The tires are 215/60/16, If I was going to get these when I replaces the tires I would get a 225 or so ??? Also how big could I go 16 x 7.5 225 biggest ??? also how is 600ish for the set with rims / tires ? a good price or should I go with diff ones ???



Thank you all for your time and help.......

You mean like this? I'm running whatever the stock tire size was for these wheels (they are 2001 GS wheels)

but i instead got the 97+ 5 spoke, chrome with 225 series tires for 400 bucks from a person on this board

Captain Bone

Asnatlas, those rims look very nice. I still have the old wagon wheels on my 93.

Can you give us a link or some info as to where you found those?

I found a decent set I may pick up on AAA Rims:

Rims

The set I want is the last one on the lower right hand corner... GS300 style in silver. $450 for the set. Tires and center cap are separate.

After seeing the site that 9inarow posted about AAA Rims.. I can get then for 450 +S/H on the ones on this Ebay auction he sent me an e-mail saying he would sell then to me for 400 + 220 S/H so for 620.00 total. After I looked about I saw that the rims was flawed a little... Also I was wondering if I should go for 17s??? I want performance and a good smooth ride. I know the bigger the rim the better the performance.... also the tires on the rims with the Ebay auction were used for about 26,000 miles. Wheels are in very good condition although they do have a few minor curb scratches (pictured below). Tires have some tread left in the rear and the front ones will need to be replaced soon. Also there are 3 Bridgestone Turanza ER30 and one Kelly Platinum tire(s) on the rims, I personally like to have all my tires the match and also I don’t see 620.00 being a good deal on rims they have scratches on 3 of the 4 rims and also since I would have to replace the tires soon and when I did I would prob get the same tires around the car... So do you think 620 is a good deal or should I go with the set from HERE ????? Also how much would 4 center caps cost for these rims??


Manaray - How do you like these rims??? Have you had them a while and are you looking to change them out soon... I have 15s now would I notice a diff with 16s and should I go for 17s????


Sorry for all the questions I am just trying to get diff options / views so I can better make my choices....

Thanx again for everyone’s time and help...

One more thing would you all go with the Stock IS300 17 rims or the others ones I have listed here.... Like I said I am looking for diff rims other then my crap 15s on my 92 300 now..... I am just looking for a diff set and I am looking for performance / good ride and a good looking and I wanted to stay with a LEXUS rim if I could..........

Anthracite SC

I dunno, maybe my own desensitizing from my area where everyone's bling blinging...

I'm sure all the wheels you all are sporting our nice. But lately, anything less than 18 inch rims just look awfully tiny....and small...not matter how good/bad the design looks.

Even my 18s look smallish to me these days. I think a good set of 19s lowered on some low profile wheels are the only look that would really accomodate our cars. The ride would SUCK but hey.

Dubs still don't look right.

I was thinking about this setup also..

Pirelli P6 Four Seasons 235/45VR17 on Mille Miglia Spider 17x7.5

Will be about 400ish more for the 17s over the previous 16s I posted above...

What do you all think????

that's the stock 16" for 2001, 2002. the platinums got more spokes and are thinner. nicer i think
