Bringing up an old thread, but I do have a question.

Where are you guys getting the 3GS wheels at? I rarely see them in the classifieds and have been keeping an eye on craigslist (and surrounding craigslist cities) for months and never see them pop up. The ebay ones are marked up way beyond reasonable.

Are you buying replicas? If so, where?

I have them, and I don't use spacers, and don't have any vibrations.

I don't use spacers, although, it may look better to push the wheels out slightly to fill up the wheel wells. They bolt up fine, so no vibrations. I used the OEM lug nuts for these exact wheels, not the wheels that came on the car. They are larger in size and are, in my opinion, needed to prevent such issues.

As for spacers (about which I know nothing), do you need a particular type for this particular wheel? I have these 3GS wheels, and would like them to better fill the wheel well, but I have no idea what to buy. Any recommendations for best value + fit? Thanks.

I had them for a while and ran 20mm spacers in the rear. They sure are a nice look on our second gen's.

Those would be the replicas?

Wouldn't there be issues for quality on the replica wheels?

Where do you get these at $135 a wheel?

Thanks for the feedback.

Did you need to roll your fenders?
