Default Help me picking out a wheel (pics)

Ok so my last thread was an epic fail (I'm not even going tot alk about it)
Anyway I need some help, I'm an indecisive percson and I want this car to be done RIGHT the first time around, ya know? Anwyay's Its a 98 Black lexus GS400 with a tte lip, stock suspension so far (either coilovers or air bags coming soon) tinted windows and soon to come a roof spoiler.
I like a 5 spoke wheel or that type of design, and I like the look of VIP and wheels with a big lip! So what do you guys think about this wheel

20x8.5 in the front and 20 x 9.5 in the rear new for about 1800

MRR's are nice. I've always liked them, but to be honest for 1800 new without tires I presume? I think you can find something nicer in the classifieds for around the same price.

MRR wheels look not bad. They're really clean but too simple for my liking. $1800 for MRR wheels is pretty steep unless that includes tires and tax. Also the seller may have misinformed you. They only make 20x8 and 20x9. They don't make .5's for that model. But for those wheels you shouln't pay more than $1300 before tax

If you want to see some nice wheels with a deep lip at moderate pricing check out

$1800 seems like waaaaaay too much for those. PM me for a forum vendor that will hook it up on pricing. Just ordered my MRR's and they were closer to $1k than $2k.....

Much, much better than the last thread .

You can't go wrong with any of the MRR wheels when you are on a budget. They are inexpensive, look great, and they have that VIP style look you want. I loved my HR1s when I had them.



I suggest you do 9.5 front and back for the more aggressive fitment. Plus you get that deeper concave in the front too.



Heres a video with a few seconds of me rolling with my MRRs. Skip to 0:47.

And here's a slow rolling shot at the 0:07 mark.

Anyway good luck and post pics!
