Ok so I found a wheel that I think I may be in love with, the only problem is it doesn't come in 18"; only 19" and up. So anyone that knows of a very similar wheel made by another company available in 18" please post a pic and link me to it. (BTW, these are Maya MRS in Diamond Silver, the edges are diamond cut and buffed silver while the centers are polished *I think*)

Also, can someone photoshop this wheel onto a 350 just so I can get an idea of what I'm looking at.

Photoshop? I got some real pictures of the wheels on an IS. BTW, these are 20". If I were you, I would get the 19"s and that way, you don't have to complicate things

Another one...

cpsmith516

oh my god those are so hot. do you know of any 18"? I'd like to keep the factory ride quality by not having to go with even smaller sidewalls on a 19".

also if you don't mind me asking how much were your 20's wheels and tires (list prices for both so I have an idea of what I'm getting into).

Alex350

I don't know of any company that builds an 18" replica of the Mayas/TrafficStar wheels you're interested in Now, when it comes to ride quality, I can assure you that a set of 19s won't affect it. I actually thought my ride quality was going to be affected when I installed my 20s, but to my surprise, the ride quality has pretty much remained the same

I don't think I can post the prices here, but I'll PM you the information...

What brand of tires do you recommend to maintain the best ride possible. Also if I went with 19x8 and 19x8.5 would you reccomend I get the same sizes as stock 225/40 and 255/40?

wow it looks nice.

Please kindly advise the Make, Model, Offset, Tire Size, and Price. Thank yoU!!!!

Maya MRS 20x9 20x9.5 (I think). Specific prices can't be posted (I think) but from what I've seen from goggling them, I'm looking at $4,000+ for just the wheels.

Hey cpsmith516, I hope I didn't confuse you, the pictures of the car I posted are from a my.is member. The prices I PM'd you are for my 20" Auto Couture Latives with Toyo T1-R tires. The Mayas should not be as expensive (I think).

I would NOT recommend you run the stock 225/40 and 255/40 setup for a set of aftermarket wheels. You can go with a 235/35 front (for a 19x8.5 wheel) and a 245/35 (for a 19x9.5 wheel) for the rear

cpsmith516

ah, thanks for the clarification. is the car you posted earlier lowered? it looks like it has an inch or so drop.

Alex350

The size of the wheels are 20x8.5 with a 245/30/20 tire front and 20x10 with a 285/25/20 tire rear. I don't know the offset or the price of the Mayas, but they sure look very NICE!!

The pictured black IS350 is lowered on JIC-Magic coilovers. Mine (see attached pic) is lowered on Tein Comfort Sport coilovers.
