Lol yea. I was gonna transfer the ccws to my other car after a while but the offsets I need for the Lexus. Are way too low for the other car. Since a high offset gs looker like poo I decided not to either.

you can see from my signature .... offsets arent a problem .. you choose the look you want and make it work... looks better that way

Thanks so much for posting that wheel company. I just ordered a set of the 17x8 in gloss black. i just hope they clear my big brakes. If not, i will just put my stock brakes back on!

Its not the offset on the Gs I'm worried about. The other car I was gonna put them on can't hold 18x8 and 18x10 with low, almost negitive offset.

Didn't read the whole thread but I'm almost positive Diamond just discontinued anything larger than 18 because of the weight issues were snapping lugs. I wouldn't want to run an 18x10 40lb (before tires) wheel. 85lbs tourqed down at 90ft/lbs just isn't a safe bet.

After this and other posts in this thread, you have become one of my favorite members.


I really can't stand that "hip" stuff also. I'm 21, I see it all the time at local car gatherings. MY peers are constantly asking me I haven't done this or that. My GS will never have any trendy parts on it. Almost every part/tool that has been shipped to me so far has either been in a "Genuine Toyota Parts" or OTC/SPX.
