Default GSwheel question

hey guys i need some help..

I am thinking about buying these wheels pictured below..

the guy selling the wheels say they are 16's but the are the GS400 17" looking wheels..

Does anyone know if any aftermarket companies make these in 16's...

I really think this guy does not know what he is talking about but Maybe they are 16's

Also if anyone has any good photoediting software they may can tell what the size on the tires say... Photodraw sucks,

Thanks for any help, Please post and say if you think they are 16's or 17"

Maybe you can compare the length of the spokes with your wheels.

Thanks again,
Scott Williams

Yup, those are 17's. What an idiot...I bet he doesn't have them anymore if you tell him to read the tire size and he will make up a number...

Damn, He sent me a picture of the tires. They are 205/50/16's

MHT stamped on the back...

Aftermarket wheels I guess, I cant believe they are 16's though..

Here is one more picture.

Could someone have made a 16 inch tire fit....

No, a 16" tire will not stretch to fit a 17" wheel. :eek:

i dunno if its just me but those rims look off.. the spokes look shorter and fatter than the 17" lexus wheel... maybe its a rip off lexus wheel in 16" size?

although the tires look to be lower profile than 50%

Could it be the RX300 rim? The RX3 is a 16" wheel...

www.aaarims.com sells 16'' reproductions that have the same style as the OEM 17's.
