I'd rule out a HRE wheel, because Manaray is telling people to hold off on purchasing wheels till he unveils whatever he has up his sleeve.. And he knows alot of people here don't have HRE money for wheels.. But your killing us.. Esp me.. I just bought freaking rims.... You guys stink...

Ok...I will give up some more info...here's the deal...these wheels are not going to be some "crazy *** shiat"...no Davins or wheels with blinking lights (you guys know better!)....the GS and SC are getting simple, clean wheels (two different styles). I'm going to get the same finish on both (brushed aluminum with high polished lips). Both are CLEAN and simple.
Actually, the ones going on my GS will be consider maybe "too plain" by most folks like the Work Equips are "plain" (no crazy *** fancy design)...you know me, I'm not into "overly flashy" stuff...I mean look at my current wheels...what they will be are FORGED wheels. And they are going to be LIGHT (for 20's...and remember, a LOT of the weight comes from the tires...)
Some people may like them, some may not...but what matters is that I like them and they are quality. Now the topper is that they are AFFORDABLE. Yes you heard right, I said AFFORDABLE. Through our vendors (like Wheel Experts who will be able to take orders as soon as I get 'em...
), you should be able to some 20's on your GS (or other Lexus) for the same price as many other "common" 20" wheels but with all the quality of a much more expensive wheels. Another hint...multi-piece wheel with no bolts....
We are currently working on a COMPLETELY CUSTOM offset setup for the GS right now (and the SC) I mean COMPLETELY...not just "yeah, this offset will work" but taking it to the EXTREME w/o having to do any mods like fender rolling/cutting, etc...maybe even a custom center cap to get more lip (yes, these will be "one offs" for now but what we're going to learn from my setups will be applied towards future wheel orders...)
Well I'm done hijacking this thread already....should have the wheels this month...
Keep an eye out in the Wheels Forum...I will most like be posting pictures of just the wheels and maybe a quick shot or two of them on my car (unless we have some nice weather)...then I'll take some "beauty" shots later...the wheels on my SC won't be shown on the car until the SC is done (should be in mid March)
Worth the wait....well, that is if you want quality at a excellent price...now if you have your heart set on a set of chrome LD-1 knock-offs or some Lexanis...forget about it...these wheels will not excite you...

i was just looking through some posts and ran back across this one. i found a set of wheels that are damn close to the equips. check out bonspeed wheels intense 5's i believe. i love the equips but they are kinda pricy and impossible to find used.
what ever happened to the wheel experts secret wheels?

adam, the spokes on your suggestion are too straight, instead of tapered, and its not 3-piece most importantly.
