Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about to getting these wheels for my SC.
These are the GS MKI Sport Edition TTE wheels which was only available in Europe I think...not sure though.


Anyways, they are 18x9 245/40 and 18x10 275/35 (so was I told).

I have started a thread in the photoshop forum ( https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...13#post2471713 ) but meanwhile a friend of mine did a quick photoshop for me to get an idea how they would look on the SC. I hope the owner of the car doesn't mind that I'm using his pic.
Maybe someone can do a better chop without the white background between the spokes.

Anyways, what do you think?

i dont like them, not enough lip

Nope not feelin' them. The stoke 5 spokes flow with the car much better.

Also, I'm not so sure those rims were ever from a GS. I would inquire in the GS forum area. They look like wanna-be lexus rims to me. Never heard of any Euro sport version 1st gen GS either.

No lip would be the precise term

Leexus

Just because you've never heard about it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Those wheels were available at TTE. The MKI GS300 Sport Edition (aka GS300 T3 in Germany) was "tuned" by TTE. It was about 1,2" lower, had a sport exhaust and those rims.

It seems like that I'm right: The sport edition was only available in Europe.

Better photoshop from Seize. Thanks man!

They remind me of the early 90's BMW Alpina Bi-turbo rims. Cool wheels, I just don't think they go with the car.

if the price is right i say go for it... 18x9 up front and 18x10 out back sounds good to me. Id rock them over my supra tt's if they are high disk and fit a bbk.

Since you're so right about everything, why even bother asking our opinions?

I like 'em. But the center cap is to bland.

Every wheel doesn't require a 3" lip.

word .they look nice on your car .if you get them get some lexus logos for them

Owner is cool, i don't think he minds wait thats my SC!
As for the wheels if you get a good deal and they clear Big breaks i say go for it.
To me they seem to show the cars age and I would go with some more updated wheels(non stock looking).

Leexus

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like an a$$ or whatsoever...no offence, but my question wasn't about whether they are GS-rims or not or if there was a GS300 Sport edition or not.

I just wanted to know everyones opinion about the wheels on a SC

Thanks anyways for your opnion.

@sc250tt
Actually the Lexus Logo is engraved on the centercap.
