Well I have been thinking about making a change to the wheels on the car for awhile and I had this set stacked in my Garage. I will post before and after pictures. What do you think????

I have 25mm spacers on the front and 30mm on the back. The wheels are the standard oem 18 x 8 with +45 offsets.

I like 'em - the finish goes well with the car color.

I think you did a nice job and made the right selection, wheels should always complement the car, and yours do an outstanding job. Great choice !!

Default Looks Good, But...

I still like the stock rims better -- these look good, but do hint at the Toyota lineage, IMO

I think it's refreshing (strange word to use I know)... definitely a breath of fresh air from the pie plates/oem 5 spoke. With spacers in the rear it will look even better!
