Mature rims? Need your recommendation...

by **Ian** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 8:30 pm

This is probably a strange topic, but here we go: On my Gen 1 Solara I have stock rims and tires one size larger. I liked this set up, but frankly I'm tired of the rims and want to upgrade to something nicer.

Here is the obscure part, I want rims that look like they belong with the car and not necessarily aftermarket, and rims that are mature. Mature as in not racer like.

I have seen many rims, but I can't seem to make a decision on anything. There are lots of nice rims, but they look more appropriate for a racer look. I'm not as young as I used to be and this is now my everyday car, so I can't look like a street racer.

I know this is subjective, but I wondered if anyone had a rim in mind or a certain style (ie. 5 spoke, 6 spoke, etc.) that they thought would look mature and as though they came with the car as originally designed?

Thanks

These are mature enough to qualify for Medicare Part B.

I would check out Lexus IS300 rims. You will need a 5mm spacer for the back but this is how good they look!

the IS300 rims are nice. and the gen2 wheels are pretty nice too. if all else fails, get some rota slipstreams.

Another vote for the IS300 rims, very nice look on the gen 1-1.5.
