I was looking around sites and converted the yen to dollars, a set in 20's are just a little less than $7k. So derfp2 if you got 7k to spend go for it haha

Last year while wheel shopping I heavily considered these. There was a price listed at that time of 1K each. I even called to make sure. I thought that was a little high for 1 piece Rays.....even if they are forged. I even called Mackin Industries to see if one of their other dealers had it cheaper. The guy couldn't believe it was that low.....that it was the highest quality wheel out there. After all the ups and downs I've had buying wheels then not being satisfied, I should have pulled the trigger on the REM's.

It would be impossible to drive the car away at that height with coilovers.

Not really, my bro's car is much lower than that on coilovers and I've driven it around just fine.

I'm sure he has his fair share of rubbing or cutting driveways or sharp ramps slowly.

I called tirerack and the wheels are still 1K a piece.
On a negative note the guy I spoke to says they don't carry the wheel in Lexus fitment. I told him Rays makes lot's of wheels in Lexus fitment so it must be available somewhere. He is checking and will call back.

Hey guys....ALL & ALL, i think these wheels might b the best wheels out there!!! ONE: Rays, cant go wrong with that TWO: nice clean design THREE: light weight for a 20" rim, around 23lbs, bc, when u go with something that big, weight is HUGE, averge 20" weigh over 30lbs and that will kill ur performance big time, ur car will be worse than stock in every performance sence...I did some research and the offset tirerack offers is 43, but i found that theres a 35 offset to...I was planing on gettin the ENKEI RPF1 19" by 8.5" with an offset of 42, they weigh only 19.5-20lbs, kinda deciding on the silver color or the SBC (like chrome, but light weight)...I actually purchased one wheel from tirerack (a silver one, rim only, had to pay for shippin, around $55 buck bc i returned it) to test fit on the car, it fit nice (took some pics with my phone, will try to post) and looked nice, but them a kinda remenbered of these rims...So i guess, if we dont get more pics of these rims on cars, i might do the rim test again. Buy one, see how it looks and fits (not sure if the 43 offset clears the calipers) and then return it. I know its gona cost me around ANOTHER $55 bucks again, but its diff. a good investement...
