I have been looking at new wheels, in the future, that may come, however i have yet to find a decent offset, looking for 38- 35.

most of them have offset of 45 and 40.

Are rotas any good, i\'ve seen mixed reviews. Volks seem very expensive, but i want something that its not common, that i will not see in any beater....

I love my current wheel set up, but i will have to change them for other reasons...

I have been looking at oem Lexus rims, and they are ok, the damn offset is 45 and oem scions and TRD but they are 18\'s, so appreciate any pointers...

Wheels are a very personal choice and exclusivity costs top dollar, Im on my 5th set of rims now and they get more expensive each time kindasad.gif
Though to be fair, I have only ever seen one other car with my wheels on irl and that was a big budget Time Attack car so in my eyes Ive made the right decision and it was money well spent.
Decide what you like in a wheel then set a budget, there will be loads of wheels out there that you like but cost way too much money. Second hand in good condition may be your best way into getting something that isnt common but it may take a long time and a lot of searching world wide. I had my latest rims sent from Japan to the UK!
Good luck. I love wheels me.

OZ ultraleggeras are great

either discontinued or nearly there, they are / were available in 5 x 100 ET35 17 x8 not too common, and wont find on a beater for sure.

for a more exclusive setup, you can try your luck and look for Superleggeras, I have 2 of these and havent been able to find another 2 to match them lol. 15 lbs on a 17 x 8 wheel.

but all these is assuming you are looking for used wheels.

im concerned about used ones, altough i have found some used sets at 1000 bucks, very nice and rare.

Rare is the keyword, dont want to see them in cavaliers or hondus.

Anyone on that list, steer clear of low end enkei, you get what you pay for. Forged wheels are king.
