			<description><![CDATA[Hi guys and girls,<br />
<br />
Got an IS200 which I want to make VIP style but need some ideas as to what wheels would go with that.<br />
Definitely want to go with the staggered fitment with bit of dish, maybe 18 or 19 inch?<br />
I'd say a chrome/polished lip is a good bet too.<br />
<br />
So yeah any ideas and all ideas will be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks :thumbup:]]></description>

My wheels are just normal bore bolt holes with plenty of room for a socket down them. What i want to know is are the slim nuts gonna be safe to use as they are only 19mm od across the top of the taper or should i just use the standard style wider ones?

			<description><![CDATA[Hi all!<br />
So i've been looking into getting my Supra's wheels restored back to "original".<br />
Idea is, I just put some regular wheels on it, then whip out the "originals" for any meets/shows and so on.<br />
<br />
For the works, powdercoating, and tyre removal/putting back on, a local company have quoted me £350 for four.<br />
<br />
You can see the current condition in the pics of this thread. I MUST take some more pictures for you guys, really sorry, I meant to do this at the weekend but had a few other bits to do.<br />
<br />
Will start the restoration blog thingy soon so I can be better at this hehe.<br />
<br />
Is this a little high, do you think? I must sound like such a silly billy asking such a vague question, but some companies are charging about £40 a wheel!<br />
<br />
Do any of you have any recommendations for companies in this field?<br />
Am I just being really stingy? (As in...you pay for what you get) kind of thing?<br />
<br />
P.S I don't trust Halfords though.<br />
<br />
Hope eveyone's having a lovely day!!<br />

Camskill can get a pair of 225/40/R18's to me for £153.58, so if anyone can beat that, I'd be thrilled.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Right..<br />
<br />
I've currently got RX300 18" wheels on the car which are offset of ET35 (according to the internet) with 12mm spacers on, which I think equates to an offset of +23<br />
<br />
Basically, I'd like to end up with a slightly higher offset (so it's not scrubbing) but actually have some clearance for the brakes. Right now with those spacers I have less than 2mm of clearance between wheels and brakes (yes you read that right). <br />
<br />
Any ideas? I've been looking for rims from an LS430 or late spec UCF20 as I'd imagine they fit over UCF20 brakes.<br />
<br />
edit: this probably has more to do with hub protrusion than offset, I think I'll need a higher offset wheel with the spacer on still so it sits closer inside the wheel arch.]]></description>
