    So I went to my local les schwab and they have a used set of lexus 300 rims 17 inch really nice.. My problem is I wanna roll 18s or 20s.. But I only have toyota steelies right now... they only want 150 bucks for the rims but I don't know if I should just wait and get wat I want or go for the 17 and be a dispointed for now I know its kinda a dumbass question but wated to see other peoples feedback thanks

    If thats your truck in your avi youd prob have to cut alot more **** out to fit 20's than the 17's. Im just guessing of course cuz i dont personally own a bagged truck.

    Personal opinion 17's maybe 18's w/ a small enuff tire look good on our trucks. 20's to me just look to big for our truck size. Looks like a donk or something . lol

    Ya I'm gonna agree with above 20s in my opinion look huge but then again I'm not a fan of big wheels on minis. But 150 for some 17s til you find some other rims is a deal

    Don't settle!! I've been runnin stock 14's since I bought my truck almost 3 years ago. I just spiffed them up a little. Painted the original steelies black, then found a set of 79-83 SR5 14's with the factory chrome trim ring.
    I just bought a set of chrome 18's! :clapping::clapping:

    The steelies I have now were grey when I got 'em, then I rattle canned them red and now they're blue. They are gonna be my winter wheels so I'll probly end up painting them white in the spring when I put my 18's on.

    Id buy the 17s because at that price I wouldn't imagine it being difficult to resell them once you got another chunk of change saved up. This way you can tuck and roll while saving for the 18s

    But do those 17's have tires? If they don't, why waste the money on 'em when you can use that money towards wheels you want.

    I'm rolling on my stock rims right now too. I have a set of 17's sitting in my garage but cant afford tires for them right now. I would say wait, save up, and get the rims you want.
