IS300 Rims on my P5, Pics!

I actually found a place that does them. Guess how much.
$30 per wheel. :D
Are you for sure you have to machine them???

Toyota has some of the smallest center bores. Aftermarket rims are usually made to fit "most" cars so chances are they're bored out larger than what the mazda's bore is.

If it's larger than your stock bore, I would recommend hub rings!

Yeah, that's what I was hoping, too. I drove down to Ohio and test-fit them, though. Definitely too small. The hole is like 55mm.

Okay, sounds like you're on top of it :)
 
Thanks for the concern, though. (drinks)

I was pretty disappointed when I got down there and they didn't fit. I could have gotten one-season Blizzak WS-50s on brand new wheels for only $350.

If anybody else is interested, it's a "best offer" auction on eBay here:

She already said she'll take $350 but I found a board member even closer who has some wheels and tires to sell, so I'm going to pass on these. (thumb)
 
So I just picked up a set of black stealies with snow tires that came from an IS300 to run as my winter set up. I didn't realize the issues I was going to have since they don't seem to fit right. Besides having the center bored out would a spacer work? also does anyone one know which lugs I need to buy to get them to mount? I thought open ended versions of my MSP lugs would work but of course they didn't.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Holy two-year-old thread resurrection...
 
Hey if the info is pertinant why start a new thread. That's why we have search!!!
Will centering rings and Lexus lugs do the trip or is the boring a must?
 
wow, i never knew those can fit the protege...I got a set laying in my garage that i have been trying to get rid of. I painted them gloss black (did it properly). If anyone is interested shoot me a PM.
