Shoot - if I could have them wider / bigger, I'd take the Graphite finished wheels off of the new ISs

Yes, it has...if you are talking about the overboost.com picture in the gallery....yes thats another picture of my car with those wheels on. The new set that is for sale, is identical in the front, but is wider in the rear, hense lots of polished lip. Basically, I have 3 sets of wheels in the garage and need to clean up space

Though it may just be my personal taste, but on the blue GS, the gun metal with polished lip combo works great. I have another set of wheels on mine right now, and the gun metal definately does the blue justice.

They look good, no doubt, but I'm not sold on the style. I appreciate your offer though. Good luck with your sale(s)

Dexter, look at this link....I have really been considering the Trafficstar DTS....They make it in a limited edition Black w/polished lip as well.....and they make it in a reverse lip up to 19" which is a plus.....

Thanks a ton.

Tiny, those are sweet, thanks, good find.

For the rest of you, here are both the DTS (S for Star I'm guessing) and DTM (M for Mesh I'm guessing)

I really like both! My decision could be reached!
I have to try to Globe-ilize them to see how they look on my ride.

Now, if I could just understand their webpage for pricing and sizes......

Here's a currency exchange calculator;

I don't know jack about offsets.....oh Man-aaahhh-raaaaay????

Just a couple of places to look for wheels similar to your taste, if you haven't already.

Thanks a bunch. I did find some I like, that I imagine are more within my price range instead of limited edition wheels from Japan

I am sure that if you network a little bit on CL, you can get hooked up on a good price for the Traffic Star if those are the ones you like.....By the way, you arent limited to the GHETTO GOLD rivets if you dont want those..heehee Also, the LECS RCK may fit the bill for your tastes......
GS4Will and Manaray can help you find a good retailer to get the best pricing.....
Someone above posted http://shop.store.yahoo.com/lexuspar...ortwheels.html
That is Hiro's site, and he can get some VERY good pricing on import wheels.......
Tire Rack REALLY need to just stock every wheel on the planet and monopolize the whole game so we can always have confidence during these transactions.....AND to eliminate the insane waiting period on the Japanese wheels......

While I'm a fan of Black wheels, I think it only really looks good on black cars...but that's just IMO...

Anyways, here's a PhotoChop version of Dexter's car on some HRE's...sorry about the bad angle on the rear tire...I didn't have a photo of a wheel at the same angle...

Here a few I found that I like - I know nothing of their quality....

I like the black inners, or a full gun metal finish - apparently!

Madhis I like....

Here are two other looks in regards to wheels ...

Not the best pictures, but the are focused on the wheel more than the car as a whole...
