That looks pretty good!

What's the backspacing on those wheels?

I have been looking at the same wheels for a while. Looks good! I have 15" wheels with 31" and have been looking for some better handling as I never havt time to go off road nowadays.

Thanks all for the comments... I love it, but if she's happy, I'm happy!


No rubbing, and no need for spacers or anything, the tires and wheels fit just perfectly (thankfully!).

I actually have a 2nd set with lugs and center caps due to weird timing on my part when I was shopping.... So if anyone is interested, I'm in Atlanta and looking to sell 'em.

And I do still have the stock wheels (with old tires mounted, there's tread left, they're not totally shot, but they'd need to be replaced soon)... if anyone is interested in picking up a 2nd set of wheels shoot me an email, I have no idea what a good price is so make me an offer!

I was just wondering if you experienced a big power reduction with those?

Looks good. I have always liked the "hyper silver" color version of those wheels also. Like these: eBay

Thanks for making everyone majorly jealous.

Thanks for the extra comments guys!

I've already sold the other set of rims, and yes, the stock wheels were 15" wheels.

Haven't noticed any power difference at all. Haven't really noticed any hit to the mpg I'm getting either- maybe 1mpg less, but it's only been one or two full tanks, so it's hard to say accurately at this point.

Oh, and no, that's a Toyota Avalon ('95, my daily driver) in the garage. 155,000 miles and still going VERY strong!
