I've been looking at relatively cheap used rims and I've come across these on ebay.

I have no idea if these will fit my car, what should I look for. I have a 99 solara.

Thanks for the help.

Yeah they should fit your car.
17x7 will be ok on the car.
It depends on the offset.

Wheels and shipping = quite a bit for OE looking wheels.

Personally, I'd pass.

Well the purpose of the switch in addition to the bent rim was for more affordable tires, I would pretty much be paying the same price for the stock 16inch one. And I can get just as much tread on these as the 16s, Im willing to invest.

does anyone have some knowledge if lexus es350 rims will fit the solara. I haven't seen any pictures, I searched back to 05, but I did see because of the offset they dont work if you have rear drums.

Thanks for the help.

Well based on my findings it appears that given that I already have longer studs in the rear and 5mm spacer plates, the es350 rims will fit without a problem inaddition to the posts that I have found in the aftermarket section. Once again any advice to help me be more confident in this expensive purchase would be great.
