Is the US ready for lip??
The five spoke wheels will indeed be going on a Scion.. I'm going to have to check to get the name of the finish on them again, but it was something like "Lightning Silver" I think. They're not as pricey as one would think. $335/each as seen in the pics. In fact, that makes the set of four wheels $1340 (that includes shipping to the US from Japan) which is less than even the retail price of the wheels IN Japan! Don't ask me how I can do it! >HAHA< :)
Let's see... the Termist TM1 Reloaded are avl in 4x100 bolt pattern in 17" only, and in many different widths and offsets, so prices vary. But, for example, let's say you wanted a set of four 17x8", +25mm, A disk wheels all around, price would be $1750 in the same silver finish you see in the pics.
And Louie, if you guys did want Nezart Spokes in 15", I'd recommend a set of 15x8", +25mm front and rear. The lip on those is just about 10mm less than the ones in the pic. Price is about $260/each in the standard silver color. That width coupled with the stock tires will stretch them a little bit, making them look like low-profile aftermarket tires too.
BTW, Brian: Your Workies should be leaving Japan in the next week or so...and should still be scheduled to come in early January. Hey, 2.2 months to get 100% custom made wheels isn't too bad tho, right! I'll keep you posted when they're about to leave Japan...
Verone: I might have a set of wheels for your flared ride! I've got a set of wide and deeeeeeep Euroline Ns coming that I might not want to run (they're a personal set, and I'm already changing my mind about them before they're here :) ...so if you're interested in filling up those flares.....

Yeah, I guess I can wait a little longer.
man.. now thats a lip.
see i was thinking..
i can say my car's a box..
so why not get matching rims..
get rims that are the same WIDTH as they size..
well lets try to get close..
u know.. 18x10.5 hehehe something like that would be nice.
yea verone's longo bus needs some spacers or something..
the sunken look isn't cutting it.

Van and I got together the other night to see what his Work Nezart Spoke's would look like on an xB, so he slapped them on mine. (16 x 8, +25mm offset, 95mm lip)
Not only did it physically change the stance of the car, but the lip really changes the feel. (NorCal guys: remember the white 5Zigens?)

Note how flush the front wheels are to the fender. That's an 8" width with +25 offset. Just imagine an 8 1/2" width with the same offset! Of course it's all a matter of taste, but I'm thinking that staggered widths and offsets might be the way to go.

I'll try to take some better pics soon.
Peace,
