You should have saved up and got these bad boys...cheap and u will beaucoup compliments.....
for $900 w/ tires and includes s&h you cannot beat..... these are 18x7.5 but you can get 19x8.5 for only $1100 w/ everything in hyper silver w/ chrome lip (same color as mine) chrome is a lil extra
I agree with everybody....your wheels look too small and look about as good as hubcap spinners at Walmart. At least you only blew $200, poor guy who sold them to you probaly would have had to pay someone to take those bad boys of his hands...either that or do a midnight run and leave them on some poor bastards doorstep.
You seem like a cool guy though...sorry you had to get taken like that. There are alot of shady dudes out there..have to be careful man.

The point is not that you care or not if your speedo is off.
The point is that it IS off, in fact here its off by 6.6mph when you are travelling at 60mph, which is a highway speed. 60mph = ~ 100 km/h.
6.6 mph = 10.62 km/h.
Congratulations, you're speedo reads 10 km/h too fast at highway speeds. You were so adamant about the fact that you tested it so much and it was not off! The numbers don't lie, the laws of physics don't lie. Admit your mistake and learn something about it. That's all I want you to do.

Please be legitimately careful both of the number of people that you put in your car and of the speed that you travel in your "fun car". A blow out may just result in total member failure, which is absolutely not a wanted consequence.
Even though you are sporting the fan favorite for worst rims on Club Lexus, we are better off with you than without you. Just be careful.
ps. Factory load index is ~1450lbs, leaving enough capacity to handle a blow out and still get you to safety without asking anything heroic from the tires. Again, just be aware of this like you are now aware that your speedometer is incorrect by a significant margin.

I personally never thought that the flames would go 7 pages....but it's like posting up a pic of a 350lb chick in an FHM magazine. Not something that you wanted to see and bound to receive some comments. As I said not here to bag on you but you had to know that there would multiple comments, more bad than good, when you posted those pics. But to each his own, I am sure that somewhere someone thinks those wheels rock

yea man, I'm pretty sure there are more than a million people in this world without any sort of taste.
but hey, you love what you love...nobody can take that from you.

whatever rocks your boat. i would think that if someone were to get rims, they would at least get something as wide as stock or wider. at 215/35/17, you're running a tire size smaller than stock, less handling capability. not to mention, your odo/speedo is way off. by my calculations, that rolling diameter is only 22.9" whereas the stock rolling diameter is 25.7" so you can see a big discrepancy.
