Default RAYS Sidewinder 2-piece 19"

This is most likely the last set of the 19x10 and 19x9 RAYS G-Games 77 Sidewinder 2-piece wheels in the country.
Discount Tire said RAYS even pulled any further price listing for them, meaning no more coming...
I happened on them by a chance price check and decided to ****** them up for use on either my Lexus SC or Supra, but I already have 18" GT-U and Volk III sitting around so... I ordered them with the fitment kit to go on the Supras and SC.
They have a 28mm offset for some sick fitment so take that in mind as well.
I'm looking to get $1900 or better for them.

thanks GATO,

they're definitely a silver... I think that goldish hue is from the lighting and surrounding boxes in the garage. They tend to really pickup the colors around them.

I really like this wheel myself, and will probably use them for my pimpin' wheels on the Supra if there's not much interest in them... I just didn't need an extra set sitting around for now.

Posted the same on SF, I just want to make sure to keep everyone informed on these. I did a test fitment on my car just to be sure for everyone's ?s on the BBK fitment.

First offset doesn't determine brake caliper fitment. The offset on these wheels will fit Supra and SC300-400 fenders with the fender lips trimmed/modded as you can see here...


The wheel pad or disk that mounts the wheel to hub is what determine's caliper clearence. VOLK/RAYS used to list this but now just has these pad heights imbedded in the A,B,C,etc. offsets. I didn't have the right info on the 19x9 for wheel pad so they do not fit the front big brakes of Supra Turbo without a 7-8mm spacer and longer studs. They DO fit over the NA brakes and standard SC300-400 brakes just fine as is.
Just wanted everyone to know all the facts on these before deciding to buy them.

After double checking specs with RAYS info, looks like there are plenty of 19x8 available in the +30 offset with the correct wheel pad to fit the big brakes. So I'm debating on getting these for two sets with correct fitments, but that would mean one set with 19x9s for rears and one 19x10 rears.

Well after my initial fitment of the wheels I decided to get the proper front fitments for larger brakes and such to make the last two complete sets in the country...now I've even snatched up the last of the 19x8s.
I'll try to post the pics as soon as my cable internet is back up... Damn you Millenium!

But anyway I have one set with 19x8 42mm offset front and 19x9 28mm offset rear.
These would be good fitments for SC300,400,430; GS300,400,430; LS400,430
just be careful with tire sizing and rear fender lip may need a little trimming or be rolled if rear tire is wide enough.

The second set is 19x8 30mm offset front and 19x10 28mm offset rear.
These would be good for a more aggressive look on the SC300,400,430 and possibly on the GS line but rear fender mods are highly recommended. Trimming or rolling fender lip and proper tire sizing is a must.
These will clear Supra calipers up to the largest of big brake kits.

Well I've got a few more things to do to the Supra so I need to sell these wheels for the funds. Decided to put the 19x8&10 up on the bay last night. The 19x8&9 will go up there next.

If any of you want them outside of the bay let me know and I'll take off the listing...
