if you like them, get them.

without seeing them on the car, I can't be sure.

I liked the Konig ones a little better, but the ones the Original Poster put up... eh. They're not awful, and I don't know enough about prices to judge... but they look a little "Matchbox Car" to me.

The wheels are ugly, the stock wheels look way better than that.

Jerry -

Have you tried to see if anything similar was at TireRack yet? You can "try" them on a Gen 2 Solara to see how they might look on the car. ;)

Again - everybody has their taste of wheels on here. The Black centers with polished rim seems so 1999 to me anymore - even though I actually considered having some Foose rims like that made... so people's taste changes as well.

Not everybody is going to like the same thing, so don't worry about the ones who don't like it. Some hate my G35 rims too - so what? :roll:

Personally - I think the Konigs look like a higher-quality wheel and you can get a set with tires around the same as what you're looking at those as well. :up:

I don't think they would match the Solara. Probably look good on another vehicle.

Those rims wouldn't look good even on a Scion XB.

There are some really nice but EXPENSIVE rims from tirerack.com you should check out their site it tells you what fits.
