I personally love the HP Evo's. I've wanted to put some of them on a car for a while. I imagine some will bash them because they are relatively inexpensive but most of us can't spend $3-4 grand on a set of wheels and tires.

Looking forward to seeing photos. Did you get a staggard fit or same front/rear?

It might be easier if we all just drive up to your house to see them.

Good choice of wheels! They really compliment the lines of the car, and the lip on the wheels just takes it to that extra level. I would suggest you buy the lowering springs, so that the space between the tires and wheel well can decrease, but other than that GREAT CHOICE of wheels!-Evan (NC)

Complements the G50 quite well. Are you running 245/40/18s? Looks like it - I'd recommend 245/45/18 fill out the wheel wells nicely (26.7DIA vs 25.7 for 40 series vs 26 for stock).

I had these on my '03 GS430 with Toyo Proxes 4 tires and H&R springs...

Awesome looks, but a little weak...I bent a rim only have four days of normal driving around Northern Virginia. Some of the roads can be bad around here, but I always try to dodge potholes.

Looks great but be careful! Enjoy!

Are they held by spring pressure or double stick tape?

I'm assuming no spacers? Offset seems pretty good from the angle of the photo. I'd like a little more rubber around the wheel and for the Q to be dropped a couple inches but other than that they are awesome.
