Default SW's SC300

Ok, Im currently working a new job and hopefully get enuff funds into my car. Im not gettin wheels anytime soon but I just want to get ideas. This is the car that inspired me and actually convinced me to buy my SC because it has the potential to look so good. To me, the wheels, tire size and the drop is just perfect and I want to replicate his setup someday.

It is SW's car "Streetking"...





Im almost positive that the wheel sizes are 8.5x19 and 11x19. What are the offsets n tire sizes on those or to just achieve a similar look? Is a camber kit required for that size?

Also, my requirements for wheels would be 8.5x19 & 11x19 just like that, deep-dished, polished, and 5 spoke. Brand-name doesnt really matter. What would be my cheapest option to meet those requirements? I'll do whatever it takes to get this done someday because in my opinion its the best lookin setup I've ever seen on an SC.

I think that car has "inspired" most of us.

You have certainly chosen a great "point of inspiration". The best piece of advice I can give you is to make price a secondary factor, because you cannot replicate any portion of that wheel and tire setup on a budget. I'm sure the tires alone are well over 1,000-1200 dollars. The wheels are made by CCW, currently one of the more popular 1pc forged manufacturers. We do not carry CCW as they have no interest in truly supporting the Lexus market. They simply sell supra setups to Lexus guys.

The wheels cost about 2500 dollars or so and a small bit of negative camber will help you with fender clearance (especially in the rear).

Good luck!

So far my wheel choices have been narrowed down to either iforged aeros or volks gt-v
