Those are nice quality wheels. Your right, I don't think I've seen them in the states. If you don't mind me asking, who did you get them through and how was the pricing? Do they come in 19's? PM me.
Thanks,

Nice choice...can't wait to see the finished product.
Hopefully my TT brakes will stop collecting dust soon!

The rear stock lexus pads create more dust than the front SupraTT caliper and EBC GREEN STUFF......
And the kicker is the braking performance is JUST AS GOOD as the stock SupraTT pad.....JacobT and others with this set-up can attest.........
Oh, and by the way, the PIAA's look AWESOME DAVE!!!! Get some rubber on them, get'em on the car and share the pics!

LOL!!!
Tiny,
I meant collecting dust in the garage...haven't installed them yet. Too busy with the system.
I DO however have EBC greenstuff for the front ($45 off ebay) but I am looking for a rear set.

Thanks for all the kind words guys - I'll post up some pics with them on the car tomorrow.
Won't look as good without those big brakes, but at least I have racoon damage to make up for it (now my lip is secured on the car with some black zip ties instead of shoe laces lol).

Anyway - I narrowed down the offset and color in this post a while back and just waited for the wheels to show up!

Attaboy Will
Dave - looks like Will gets another "attaboy" - he was very helpful to me as well. Actually, your pictures represent the wheels better than the ones from the Japanese website/brochure, etc. PIAA should use your shots!

They're PIAA Rozza Altra, 18x8 front and 18x9 rear (they don't make 18x10s). Finish and chrome on them at first inspection is unbelievably perfect. Front is high disk so I can get the Supra TT brakes underneath.
More pics once they're on the car.

Just right
Just checked out the gallery pictures and looks like the offset is perfect. Nice and agressive - bet they'll really will turn heads.
BTW, did you consider painting the big brake calipers in flourescent orange? JK
