Your RX looks like new! Your driver's seat isn't bad at all either.

Nice looking, but you should've went with black calipers... or at least silver IMO.

18x7, 35 offset. I bought these on ebay but there don't seem to be any available currently. You might find some on Craigslist or locally.

They are an exact reproduction of the '04 up 330 wheel. The rolling diameter is the same as the 16" 300 wheel, that is achieved by tire height of course. The tires I used are 235 rather than 225 in width and seem correspondingly more stable, the ride is marginally firmer but I have yet to check tire pressure which may be a bit high.

Why do you say that? There are hundreds of wheels available for them.
