19" MRR-HR2 don't come with a lip, DO THEY? I have never seen a set.
I am really looking for the factory lexus OEM rims (5 spoke) in 19", or ones very identical to it, the closest i could get is the MRR-HR2. Someone told me they used to make them but discontinued it, is this true?
thanks

The Moda M6 is almost identical to the factory 17" GS wheels. I am not sure if they have been discontinued, but you can do a google search and find some I would bet.

Yes, Moda makes identical to stock wheels. They might be hard to locate since they don't make them anymore (in my knowledge at least)

Yeah those probably would be the closest and they have been out of production for a while, and to make matters worse, I believe the cut the production of chrome before silver.

19" staggered deep dish the only way to go.

Everyone suggested the 19" but most people also said get ones with a lip or a "dish" I like the dish but factory oem style is what i am after, the MRR are the closest ones available I believe. So more than likely I will be going with those unless i am getting a killer deal on the sterns

Default I vote for the brushed MRRs

Not that I want a lot of Crystal White GSs out there that look the same as mine but the MRR are the sweetest looking rim out of the selection as a bonus they do not break the bank

Does that MRR wheel look good without the lip? I have never seen one in person, but I like the look of it. Right now I'm stuck on GT1's though.

Depends on what MRR rims you are talking about, MRR HR2 rims are without lips, and those are the ones I am most definitely getting!

I was referring to the one mentioned. I'm getting black 20" GT1's for mine. That 4" lip is a must have.

I am re-thinking my decision, I am probably going with a lip on the sterns!
Anyone with me on this one?
I am very confused, I don't know to go factory style or not, I saw these rims and it made me change my decision, you see why!

BTW how is a ride on 20s feel, I have heard it is SHI**Y
