May I ask why your limiting you selection to just those?

Alot of after market wheels are CHEAP these days. And those are all some pretty skinny wheels (with the exception of the TT's)

i kinda wanted to stay with Lexus wheels....The after market ones that are cheap are very cheesy looking, the Gram Lights, Works, HRE, and Volks are all too much.

No dude, I wasn't trying to burn ya, its just I need to spend some money on other things...Suspension, engine mods etc...

Plus if I do go ahead with the 1jz swap...I don't want bright "blingy" cop attracting wheels. That's why if I go with Something like a Lexus or Toyota rim. Its not going to look like I'm a Vin Diesel wanna be...

Well like I said before, I'm going with the TT wheels....they need tires, but I should have them on the car soon .

No brainer, TT is the best factory replacement, but I would go with some nice 19'...

I like Supra RZ wheels because they clear larger brakes and are staggered, but design wise I think the GS wheels suit it the most... pity they can't clear BBK nor are staggered.

Johnny3, are you using spacers with your wheels? They seem to sit more flush than others.

Another good choice,though fairly new to the market and a bit pricey, are the new IS350 staggered wheels...they'll clear the big calipers and can accept some wide rubber. Plus, they are Lexus take offs - which would work in your favor.....

How about '06 GS wheels? I wanted to keep a factory look too and ended up with these. They also
clear BBK.

Here's my '95 with '01 GS 400 chrome 5-spokes from my buddy's car. They're easy to keep clean and look smooth. I've gotten lots of compliments!

GS 430 wheels are by far the cleanest, these are what should have come stock with the SC.
