Default Can someone give me a 2nd opinion

Hey I am about to buy some rims from this guy, he says they are from a 96 and are 17s, just wanted a second opinion to see if you think these are 17s. Thanks

those have got to be 16's in the first pic........look at where the spokes meet the edge of the rim, on the 17's its wider and doesnt really taper that much, but the16's it appears to get a little smaller plus the tires look like beefy 16" tires.

Thanks

Also, if they are the OE Supra 17s, they will be 17x8 front, 17x9.5 rear... I'm pretty sure those are 16s in the first photo.

Looks like 16" ones too me. I have had 3 sets of the 17"'s and I think thats worth something. Another thing is that the wheels dont look staggered in width.

Thanks for the opinions, I think they are 16s, I emailed him and he hasn't gotten back to me, oh well, I have another deal maybe being worked out as we speak and they are even nicer! But more $$$ of course. Those wheels are staggered, even the 16s were, they are 16x8 and 16x9 if I remember correctly. But second I saw those... I was like, NICE rims, then I was like... hmm doesn't look right. Check these bad boys out:
So clean I think I could eat off of them!

HKS what are you doing with three sets?! Just collecting?

You are right, I forgot.. they are staggerd too. Just that the 17 are staggered more.

I had 3 sets because I had two Supras over the past 3 years. I had a spare set and sold those. Now, Im looking for another set too. Go Figure!

PS. I have 17" stock GS wheels for sale as well.
