Nice looking car.

I just bought those same wheels off of eBay last month. Have yet to put them on the car, still waiting for my tax return for some tires.

Do you notice any change in the ride since putting them on? I was looking for wheel for a long time and it was between the 17 and the 19 that TRD offers. Though I got a killer deal on the 17'' wheels that I couldn't pass up (if anyone is looking they are still selling them).

Haha I wish I could go lower but we have so pretty bad roads here in Dallas. Maybe it'll go a tad lower when I install my TRD shocks/struts that are waiting to go on.

Honestly they ride much better than my 16s because the factory tires were completely worn lol. The reason is probably because I'm riding on 205/50/17 tires which doesn't sacrifice a whole lot of ride comfort over the stock 205/55/16.

Thanks, I'm really happy about the way they look on my ride :D. I'm debating if I should save up my pennies and get the 5 axis lip kit for it.
