I have 22" wheels on my 350, nothing too expensive.

I'm thinking of buying some 20" TSW Zolder White Gloss. http://www.tswalloywheels.com/tsw_configurator/ I used the configurator to check how the wheels looked on white vehicles and they look pretty good. I also liked the Willow silver but the white gloss of the Zolder really stands out on a white RX 350. For the price they seem the best so far. I don't want chrome since it's too shiny. I'm also considering getting either a Wald Sport body kit or Balsarini Aero. I've purchased Eibach springs and need to get those installed as well. Anyone know a good place to get springs, tires and rims installed in Southern Cal? Do you know which width rims and offset I should get for 255/45/20 Yokohama Parada Spec X? I'm thinking either 20, 8.5 width, 20 offset or 20, 8.5 width, 40 offset

45series for 20" is too fat imo. as for kinds of wheel size offset needs to be less than 30. look in the vendor marketplace for wheels.

I am also looking for rims for my wife's RX350.

These are some of the rims i am looking at (all are in the 18-20 inch size)

Gianna Blitz (Chrome with black accents)

Axis Matrix (lightweight, not my first choice)
http://www.1010tires.com/images/whee...s_lg_super.jpg

Konig Runaway (lightweight)
http://www.1010tires.com/images/whee...r_lg_super.jpg

Tenzo R Type-M Version 2 (Machined finish, stylish, lightweight)
http://www.1010tires.com/images/whee...e_lg_super.jpg

Exe Konvex
http://www.modbargains.com/images/Pr...XE_Konvex1.jpg

TSW Cadwell (like the exe konvex but a lot less expensive)
http://www.1010tires.com/images/whee...l_lg_super.jpg

There's a few others, still trying to narrow down some other options.

I love when people take off the expensive great quality wheels and put the 1500.00 packages on and wonder why they bend. Spend the money bro, put out the 5g's for assanti's and be done with it!! Buy cheap, they always are more expensive in the long run, balance problems, and bending!!

Buywheelstoday.com is a pretty good place, Felix is a nice guy and offer good advice and good price. I bought my OZ titan wheels from him a while back, he gave me heck of a good deal, free shipping and wheel locks.

fstr n u,
I like the Konig Runaway. I was looking at the Caldwell by TSW as well but it doesn't fit the white as well IMO. What color RX do you have? Where do you get the weight from? I just found some Zenetti Deuce Chromes on ebay for cheap... $600 w/ Toyo tires. Plus I can't wait longer because of this being such a good deal and my tires are out of tread.

rocsrx350,
Your post has worried me on my purchase. I always wondered if buying forged was really worth the money. I figured it wouldn't make a difference... I hope these last at least for a bit since they were so cheap.

Anybody know which body kit I should get and where from? L-tuned has the Wald and Balsarini.

Also, I just got an email that there is a 3" lowering spring from Japan. I asked for price. Will update when I get a response.

fstr n u, all those wheels would look horrible on an RX, the last two are okay.

as for cheap wheels bending. i for one never buy replica wheels, but for someone on a budget, they would be okay since an rx wouldn't be rolling on low profile tires, there is less chance bending due to the fatter tires. now if one were rolling 22s than worry.

I just bought some Zenetti Deuce 20"s and I was told I need to realign every 10K miles. Does this sound right? Should I worry about bending? Do I need to worry about bumps now especially since I want to lower? Do I need new shocks/dampeners? I remember hearing of a place that has lifetime alignment but forgot where. Does anyone know who has lifetime alignment plans?


BTW, I never got a response about the 3" lowering springs. I'm thinking 1.5" Intrax will be too much even and am concerned even more about getting too low and sagging. So far, these 3 are the only ones I know of and there are only KYB shocks/struts available. Suggestions?
