Too many spokes to wipe down and keep clean. Better keep those elbows loose.

That is - if someone can help me determine what they are so I can shop for them.

Except for the different center cap, that looks pretty close.

Well I'm pretty much at an impasse at the moment. Granted, I've been spending MORE time on the suspension project lately, but I cannot find the make/model of the mesh-look or the 5-spoke w/ lip wheels below:





The MMRs are nice, and I can get them from D2, but I can't get the other two wheel styles out of my mind. Frustrating, since I can't find them.

Lightbulb Eeeek!

Might've found something here.

Wheel Model:5-Zigen Sports Engine SC3000 GB



From http://www.1010tires.com:
The 5-Zigen Sports Engine SC3000 GB wheels will fit a 1992 Lexus ES300 Sedan

5-Zigen Sports Engine SC3000 GB 19" x 8.5" - 5/114.3 - 38mm $284.99
The only problem is, I wasn't wanting to go any larger than an 18.
What do you think?

Unhappy

Welp. I'm kinda screwed. My tires were getting bad because the ES needs an alignment, which I wasn't going to have done because of the impending suspension overhaul. I'm waiting on the last pieces from Whiteline to arrive.

I went out yesterday morning and noted my passenger rear tire was very low. I hooked up my compressor, aired it up and went on about my day.
This morning I went out and the tire was just as low. *sigh*

I'd love to just go ahead and order the wheels I picked out along with the tires. The problem is, even with weeks spent on ImportHookUp.com and other sites, I've not been able to identify my wheels of choice and order them.


But I need my car (rode my bike this morning so that I wouldn't have to drive on a bad tire). So I can go and buy a replacement tire (or two, don't you usually buy two?) and use it until I can find these wheels. Or I can go to Discount Tire and pick the nicest wheels I can find and make the jump prematurely. Crap...
