Default New Rims Soon New Rubbers!

Got my rims back, payed $100 to get them sanded and cleared from my buddy in our detail department. They were really corroded when I got them and the one with the tire on it is curbed really bad I'm using that as my spare. Payed $160 for 5 rims and tires, 2 junk tires, 1 good on spare and, 2 good snows. 215-45-17 Got the centers in my tool box at work. Going on my 1994 es300. Here's a pic of the rims and old pic of the car.

I love these rims. I have a set of these on my 99 ES.

Wow, you got an awesome price on the wheel repairs. Is the damage all gone? I've been thinking about getting some repair work done on mine since they're not in the best condition...

The spare is curbed good so I didn't have him do much to it other then get the corrosion off. The others were sanded with 220/360/500/1000/2000 five step process then cleared. There are some slight sanding marks but look totally awesome after thinking what they were like.

I have hurd mixed things about needed spacers to run these rims with a 215/45/17
