If your car is lowered and you want very low offset, I would pick up diamond racings. But you might not like them
Here is a pic of them on a GS300: If you do choose to get these, you can only order them at http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/ . Whats cool about these wheels is that they're on a lot of peoples budgets and you can order whatever diameter, width, offset you want. |

@mata: for daily, but i still might track it every once in awhile
@venom: no im not doing any crazy offset or lowering, i dont like those rims im looking for thin spoked rims, and i am looking for wheels on the lighter side i really dont want to be adding extra weight over the stockies

imo the is has too much body and too much rim. if you go with a narrow five spoke its going to look strange. how much money do you want to spend?
