Default Can't decide on wheels

I have a line on all three types of wheels not sure what to do. All about the same condition. Lexus wheels are same price range, the Supra wheels are $250.00 more.

2000 IS300 17" painted

2002 GS430 17" painted

1995 Supra TT 17" polished

What do you all think would look best on a Black 97' Sc300

of those, I'd say go with the TT wheels.

IS wheels are too skinny, but trust your gut and do what you like best. Get pics of each and ask for a quick photoshop in our photoshop forum, that will help your decision.

IF you want stock look, but with a small edge, get the GS wheels, i might be getting a pair soon. Good Luck.

i never cared for the cookie shaped TT wheels, so i'd go with either the IS or the GS wheels. that's just me though.

I'd go with the Supra TT wheels. They are wide, light, and staggered.

I totally would have payed that too!!!!

Well it looks like I'm going with TT rims.....unless someone drops HRE's in my lap.

The guy with the GS430 rims.....kinda shady...didn't want me to open the garage door, kinda partin a car in his house....chop-shop style

So I kinda walked away from those!!

Soon as there on, I'll get some pics up

I've seen pics with IS wheels...

They look small when u put rubber on them. The stock IS tire is 215/40-17 if I remember correctly.

U can use this calculator with discount tire's web site to help deciding on wheel and tire sizes and costs.
