New wheels for RX300
Howdy again,
The 2002 RX300 we bought for my wife will need new tires before the heavy snow comes. Also, the stock 16s rims are getting some bubbling - I'm thinking it's a good time to update the wheels! 17s would be the first choice, since my wife wants to keep a classy look and prefers ride over handling. Since the rims will be used year round and see LOTS of salt, we may avoid chromies. But, if the price is right.....
NE1 find 17s (or even 18s) that aren't too overstated? Pictures appreciated!

hi! i just picked up some rx400h rims (which are 18") for my rx300 for winter use. i'm gonna get tires prolly next week and i'll post pics when i finally get them mounted...the rx330's 18s are a clean look as well(in my opinion) and you can find them on ebay or mebbe locally for a decent price vs aftermarket...i'd avoid the dealership. tho...either way they keep the oem style but are a bit bigger and a smidge wider...

I like those too, but not sure the offset is right - isn't it 50mm? If so, they'll need sapacers, which I'd like to avoid. Send pics if you do get them on!
