    They're 17" Lexus rims, I believe they're off of a Lexus IS300 not too sure though and the tires are 235/45/17. I bought them on craigslist for $300. I looked up the tires and the tires alone are worth more than $400, so i think I made out pretty good. I had to buy spacers though, i believe the size was 54.50, i bought them from a korea guy he told me that was the size. I love how it looks and how they handle on the road. No rubbing or anything!!!

    Sorry that happened man, we were at Houston Raceway Park in baytown a few years back, and came across a car club in a parking lot... some idiot on on a motorcycle pops his clutch and smashes right into a guys brand new paint job out of the shop that day... paint hadnt even cured all the way, just flaked right off... needless to say, he was upset... especially when he found out evil kenevil had an unregistered bike with no license or insurance...:brickknock:
