powder coats can very easily be as glossy as those wheels are. i agree with the chrome lip, it would have added a bit more elegance, but this is coming from someone with black wheels and a chrome lip

I actually like them better with a polished lip as well but thats how I bought them. My brother had them on his 95 Supra turbo. He needed wider rear wheels (He has 600hp at the wheels) and they just happen to fit my car perfectly. I don't think they look too bad...

Actually they suite your car perfectly. You obviously have a look in mind and you've followed through,...good for you.

OK. Here's my setup for now, need opinions PLS.
Suspension: stock. Work VS-XX 18 X 8.5 32 offset fronts. 18 X 10 33 offset rears. These are supra fitment wheels, I knew I will have slight issues but the deal was too good to pass up and I can use them on my other car anyway. So...
Tires are 235 40 18 fronts and 265 40 18 rears Michelin sport.
Front, with 5mm spacer, needed to clear the calipers. Without spacers, they will be flush.
Rear, I knew they will stick out but lowering might suck them in a bit and some fender rolling maybe. Same for fronts.
Even with the spacers I had to shave the calipers to clear.
Now, I can get rid of these wheels and tires no problem and reinstall my X package ones. Or I can use them on my supra. Just need opinions on maybe having the backside of the front wheel spokes machined to get rid of the spacers. And will lowering fix the rears sticking out like that? Thanks!
