The Mystics only come in an 8.5" width, sorry no staggering. "If" I had to get a piece o shiat rim, I'd go with the Mystics but only the 20". Check out GS in T.0.'s

I know a guys selling a used set of Polished HRE 545's 19" 245/35/19 on Toyo's for $2,700 plus shipping. About the same price as this krap but your getting a light weight forged 3 piece rim on a desent tire.

Manaray, I never figured out what 'PC Load Letter' meant That movie is truly a tribute to the white-collar cubicle slaves of America though.

My cubicle job wasn't as tedious as others. I worked for one of those dot-coms, which was pretty fun in retrospect. We had two office pets roaming around, daily nerf ball fights, and putting greens laid out across the office. Very casual, laid back type of job. I came into work wearing swim trunks a couple days. The hardest part of the job was beating the guys in IT at Quake Arena. Friday afternoons were chaotic as you could imagine. We never got work done. From my quarterly 401K reports, it looks like the company is still doing pretty well!

Back up in your *** with the ressurection...

ShowLuv, even kepping that in mind doesnt change my opinion.You have a 2002gs430.If you want tv's in headrest then get them first then save up and get some quality rims.You dont want to halfstep rims trust me I guarantee you will regret it.Seriously, wheels are one of the most important and most noticable aftermaket product you will purchase.Do you really think you will not regret it if you dont get something you truly like

Good choice ShowGSLuVv. BTW, I hope we didn't pressure you too much or make you feel bad about the post. We were just trying to look out for you. Most of us had nothing but good intentions. In the long run, I think you will be much happier with NICE rims rather than an imitation. Those are very nice rim designs you chose, they were actually my first choices when I started shopping, believe it or not! Anyway, happy hunting!

haha I understand guys, Guess it's just TOUGH CLUB LEXUS LOVE, if thats what u wanna call it, lol, no but for real though IM glad u guys talked me out of getting it because it would have been a big waste of money, I would have ended up buying expensive ones, and I already have the stock chrome which are nice enough to last me till I buy some L sportlines or somthin, -=)

showgsluvv

were were you going to purchase those rims
from? just curios. I think the diablo's look nice
personally, but I don't know much about rims
and quality, I feel just like you on that issue.
But as far as looks go, very nice. The gold
gives it a nice touch.

Through one of the wheel vendors on CL, They could either come with Gold bullets, or Chrome bullets... as far as knowing about rims, Listen to these guys, they seem to know enough about rims to know which ones to knock and which ones to praise, I mean when u do think about it having High quality rims and Light rims would help, add such a nice touch to cars like ours, so thats why im just gonna stick with my regular rims till I can get some nice "High Quality rims"
