18's look too small for the wheel well. The gen 2's are huge. I would get 19's..

personally, i like #2. and just for sh*ts and giggles last weekend i tried on my friends 20s off of his GS400. They fit perfect without any rub or hesitation (with a 245/35/20 tire) For some reason, with the 20 theres more room between the wheel and strut than with the stock wheels and tires. If i didnt know, i would say these look like 18s maybe 19s, look how much space we got in the rear with 20s...

I like the last one with the 5 spoke. Blazed, you have a huge wheel gap. I can't believe their 20's. I love chrome myself, especially on a black car. I wonder if the TRD lowering springs would lower the rear enogh to fill in the gap? I used to own ground control coil overs on my 3000GT and I had that thing slammed when I wanted or raised to get around the winter snow.

Sup? I was planning on getting the VVT-i emblem and wanted to know if you had any pictures of the emblem placement. Also, where did you get them and how much if you don't mind?

Thanks.

Hey Mike,

Got mine on ebay for 13.50. I bought two so I can put one on each front fender about the wheel, right next to the door. It looks sweet and looks stock. Just search ebaymotors. I don't have a picture but ebay has pics for you to see the emblem itself.

Looks like I'll be getting only 1 to put in place where the 'TOYOTA' emblem is located on the bottom left corner of the trunk lid. I'm removing the 'TOYOTA' emblem...What's your take on that?

Thanks again.
