    This is the thing that hurts the most with me trading in my car. These wheels have gotten so many compliments over the 3 1/2 years that they've been on the car. We just put new tires on it a month ago. Have less than 1k miles on them. They are Toyo Proxes 4+ 225/35/19's. They are a performance all season tire with a 45k tread life warranty. Paid $650 for the tires. The wheels when new took 2 1/2 months to import from Japan because they didn't have the right bolt pattern here in the states. With the Wedsport lug nuts I was out the door not including the tires at over $2800. They retail at over $600 per wheel. They weigh about as much as the factory 17's but with the open spoke design I did take about a 5-6 mpg hit. Not to mention the tires are wider as well. I can only do this locally being I need to trade for a set of 17" wheels/tires. They do have a little curb rash on a couple as well as small rock chips in the paint, can't even see it from a few feet away. I'm not going to lie, I cried when it happened. Haha. They paint their wheels as opposed to powder coat to keep the weight down. Gloss black touch up paint does wonders. I will have them cleaned up upon doing the swap. It's raining and they're dirty at the moment so I don't have a current pic. They are awesome! I'd be willing to trade for a factory set of Model 5 or Persona Edition 17's with tires as long as there is decent tread left on them. I have all the tools to do it at my house if you're ok with coming here. Would be best option really. I'd let them go for $700 plus the trade. Let me know. Here is a stock picture to give you an idea of what they look like. I have a spare center cap still in the box too.

    Did you roll the fenders to fit the 19's?

    Any rubbing?

    Oh sorry. Totally forgot the offset. They are a +50mm so they are the same as stock, so no rolling needed. I did roll mine because I was running +15mm spacers to flush out the look but am running 2-5mm spacers for a total of 10mm and have room to spare. I have a new set, never used 12mm spacers that would probably be the perfect combo, just didn't get a chance to install them if you're interested. Not to mention these tires are a little more narrow than my last 2 sets so they roll over a bit on the outside edge just a bit which helps as well. I'll get pics tomorrow just to give a more accurate look at them. Currently the car is on TRD springs which are coming off to be sold as well just so you and everyone else reading this knows.

    I do indeed. The car is on TRD springs at the moment. Will be selling those as well. My car is a mess from all the rain but I can go snap a pic of you don't mind that it's not all shiny clean.

    Here are a couple more pics I took for someone this morning. They're still dirty from the rain the last couple of days. You honestly have to see them in person to get the full effect of these wheels. Just don't get due justice in photos. image.jpg image.jpg

    Please delete this thread. I have purchased other wheels and going to repost these for sale instead of for trade. Thank you.
