Have them checked out BEFORE you buy. My celica (konig) one rim was bent, it wasn't visibly bent. At the balancing maching it was evident it was bent....I kept that rim in the rear and was good (was quoted 150 to get it repaired..but never bothered). Not all bent rims r repairable tho' and no all visible correct rims are not bent. What size are the rims...i like them in 18's (saw them on one of dudes cars from here...).

Those are cool rims, I believe they are the TRD rims. They look good on the Solara, I saw one once with those wheels. That one rim does look kinda bent though.

I love how the rims look...nice and clean and uncluttered. If everything checks out spec and quality-wise, I'd go for it!

I agree! I can't believe how my 18" rims look small to me! 19" rims will be perfect next go around. Probably the lack of drop but still 19s look great on our cars!!!!
I do like those rims! Like everyone else said just try to test them out for bends.

That is very true. The stock 16s look bigger than when they did once you drop the car. Drop helps TREMENDOUSLY.

one thing you might want to worry about is if the rim looks ok, how will it look on the wheel balancer?
