Default Can you guys at Club Lexus pick my rims for me?

I originally wanted to get this set of 18" Motegi SP10s in Hyper Black, but with the issue of offsets and such I was worried that a +40 offset would not make the look right...

That is the style of rims that I like. I'm not a fan of chrome... even if I could afford to get chrome wheels now, I probably still wouldn't.

My other issue is that I don't want a staggered set up. I need to have the added benefit of being able to rotate my tires forward and back. Now with that in mind, is it possible to have both the front and rear wheels RELATIVELY flush with the fenders? Because you need a lower offset in the rear right?

I would just like it if you guys could point me toward some rims that WORK WELL with the car as far as the overall look goes. I then plan on dropping the car some 2" or 2.5". Not TOO expensive, either...

Here are a couple of pics from other members rides so you guys can have a good idea of what I'm looking for:







The overall fitment in that last one looks real nice.

I'm just looking for the right rims with the right offsets. I would probably prefer to not roll fenders. They'll be rolling on 245/40 18. Anyone have any suggestions?

Those works are nice but too expensive for me. I am looking to spend no more than 200 bucks per rim.

You guys have any favorites besides these?

EDIT: Those Rota D2 do look nice and their cheap, but are they for serious? I've never heard of them.

for $200 a wheel rota is probably going to be your best bet. i am personally not a fan of rota's, but they offer decent sizing at cheap prices

Or you can save up over time and get wheels you will really be happy with. There are many great deals on the wheel classifieds all the time.

I personally like the wheels/height/stance of the SC in the 3rd pic the best.

Wait a second!!! So I can get those Motegi SP10s I talked about at the beginning of the thread, right?!?!?!

18x8 with a +40 offset... I could just add a spacer at the rear, correct?!?!



Buddy right here has 18x8 +38" in the front, but has 18x9 + 38" in the back... If I were to put an 18x8 + 40" in the back I would need a pretty big spacer...

Man I don't know...

go at least 18x8.5 all around if not 9. +40 is pretty high even with a decent sized spacer. Shoot for the 35 range

Go with the battles, you aren't going to find better low offset wheels for a better price.

The Rota D2's look really fake when compared to the SSR SP1's... If you are going to rock Rota's I would get something else besides the D2's...
