i am in search of is300/gs400/430 wheels...though my 1st choice is supra polished wheels in 17s


i was wondering would the acura TL-S 17X6.5 wheels fit the 92 sc300? the car is FWD and the tires are 215/50/17s

do any bmw wheels fit? the 540i sport or the M3s?

the reason i ask i, i want to know what other options i have....also i work at an acura dealer...


thanks...any other opinions?

i dont have the money to buy the rims i really want..another year maybe..so i need something in between....i dont hate my 15s...what i hate is...how they are sooo much inside the fender.....urgh

TIA

Please do not put other car manufacturers wheels on your Lexus. You can get the 17"OEM GS wheels for an upgrade many SC owners have done.

yes, what he said ^^ please don't do it!

Gs wheels should be around 450+ with tires. an easy upgrade.

Options? Why would you downgrade the rims? Do not get anything less than 8" wide. Simple as that! 215s belong on a Honda/Acura, not a 3500 lbs SC300.

Some BMW rims may work since they are identical to the aftermarket rims (ex. OZ Wheels). I guess I would worry about the offset, but there are ways you can find out if it will be good.

Now, Supra TT rims are most likely the best and cheapest choice.
