Yeah I thought about it. I'd rather stick with 8.5. I already have these new tires that are 245-35. A 9 in wheel would stretch the tires making them look lower in profile. They would be lower in the profile. I don't want that. I'm not into the VIP look. I like to look at it but I don't want it for myself.

I see you have VIP in the blood. I had a 10 in wide wheel with the Racingharts. The 275-35 width tire that used to look fat all of a sudden looked low. It looked cool but it caused more gap between the tire and fender. So I know what I'm doing. WHy are you trying to talk me into something I don't want? WHy am I answering when you're trying to talk me into something I don't want? Let it go dude.

I not trying to talk you into anything..It just seems you get very standard universal widths and offsets or whatever the shop tells you to buy and Im just trying to let you know that you can run something bigger and truly custom and its not close to VIP..The wheels you just returned are a perfect example of what Im trying to say..I wont post anymore on your thread so good luck on your next wheel set-up..

Lead Lap
I shipped the old wheels back today and I have several day while they travel to Calif to make a final decision on the next set.
I like what i chose but these Sevas Forged are just really tempting. I'm afraid because of all the problems the 1 piece cast are having. If they make inferior cast they might be making inferior forged. These look awfully good though.

Made the choice todays. Here's what I ended up ordering.
Why am I going with Boze.ZE Forged. They really customize. They allow you to choose your lip size, from flush to max lip. They do custom center caps with any logo of lettering you want. They have several finishes.
I stuck with 20x8.5 all around.

I couldn't order lot's of lip because they are concerned with the bbk of the GS350. Lip will only be around 1.5 inches. Maybe I should do the stagger cause I could get whatever size I want in the rear. I'm too pigheaded to go back on this issue, though. Didn't get the custom engraved center caps either. I thought it was free. The message on their site makes it sound like it's included. It's another 130. I have until 1 week before completion to decide. I still might go with it. I think it would be killer to have that Lexus logo engraved into the center.
I did go with the high luster finish that's supposed to be close to a chrome look. Also chose the rivet-less design you see pictured. I think it's clean.
Now the wait!
.Stick with the 8.5 so you can rotate them..
