WIfe says they got to get out of the garage. Lets go! Price reduced $1050. That means I eat $700 for having these for 6 months.

Do you know what the offset is? Do you have a different angle with them on your car? I would like to see if they stick in the car or are close to the fenders.

Thanks,
Cadd

Cadd,

I ran these wheels with Tein Coilovers CS. When I was first dialing them in I lowered the car as far as it would go. No problems with clearance at the fender. As a matter of fact you could pretty much hide the top of the tires when positioned that low. No rubbing etc. I ultimately did not run my car that low but I hope that answers your question. No more pics with better view. I already removed these wheels from the car so re taking pics is not likely. These wheels weigh only 26 pounds. On my GS300 that straight 6 could really spin the wheels up much faster than stock. I just put the stockers back on so I can sell the car...what a difference. Feels like I lost 20 BHP.

Ouch. 26lbs is pretty heavy. Are really light weight wheels in the upper teens? I've seen some wheels (cheap cast ones) that weigh in the lower 20s.

Does anyone know wow much the OEM wheels weigh?

Hey Cadd

Not sure of the actual weight of the stockers but I can tell you there is no comparison. The EVos are night and day difference when I accelerate. Actually now that you call me out I wonder if it might be the weight of the tire that makes the difference...

Why are you getting rid of them? Do they rub?

First off. They do not rub no matter how low you lower the car. second the offset is 40MM. They will fit stoptech big brakes. They will not accomidate tt supra calipers.

Lastly, they are sold.

Thanks youall

BTW Cadd, I wieghed the stock wheels and tires and then these wheels and tires...you are right the 16inch stockers weigh 4 lbs less than the 18inch mille's.

Thanks for the info.

If I didn't have to pay for shipping (hence, you live close to where I'm located), I would have brought them. I was deciding, but I couldn't justify the $150 - $200 shipping charge.

What more can you ask for? Almost brand new wheels for close to 50% off!!!
