What are you curently running?

 

I have been running 18s since March, and imo it's the best thing you can do to the RX. It handles like a GoCart around corners, and still gives a good ride. And check out my pics in the Gallery to see what it looks like.

 

I'm hoping the next gen RX hs 17" or 18" OEMs that will fit the RX 300.

 

I wouldn't doubt for one second that the handling with 18s is VERY nice... and the nice aggressive look of the RX on 18s is growing on me, although I think I'd still want it lowered if I was rollin on 18s.

HOWEVER, I've worked pretty hard the last few months to make sure my RX is the quickest striaght-line RX in town (Milwaukee and probably all of Wisconsin), and any mod that may jeopardize that quickness is in serious danger of getting shot down in a hurry.

Gonna try the 235 H-Rated Bridgestones next time I need tires (which shouldn't be too far off, but DAMN these Duelers have been great tires 37 K on em and still wearing really nice), and see if that gets me enough handling to satisfy... If not, then I'll give 18s a more serious holla.

 

ObiDon, the 18's you put on your RX have been growing on me since I first saw them. What are they called again?

 

LexRX,
Sorry this took so long to reply, but I haven't been at the "Club" for a while. The Wheels that I have are made by Helo and are called Bezel. they are 18x7.5 with a 20 offset. They need no spacers with this offset.
I got them in Houston at Discount Tire. Here is a link to a picture http://www.carxpressions.com/wheels/helo.htm

 

I'm running ADR Kasai's. 18x8, 38mm offset with 235/55/18 Michelin Energy MXV4+ tires and NO SPACERS!

 

If u have to ask......

 

i keep it original!

 

Hey man, original is nice too, but this thread is over a year old!

 

WOW . I didn't even notice that! well someone may have voted in the poll, and i thought it was a new thread! my bad.

 

I have purchased a set of 18" OEM RX330 wheels and tires....fit and look great!

 

Have you got a pic of your RX300 with these rims installed? Are there any rubbing issues? What size tires are you running?

Thanks

 

this is me. 18 inchers
