    I have 360 wheels on my TR now and they look nice. But if I had a choice I'd put 512TR wheels on the car. Finding a set of these is tough, and when you do find them they are very expensive. The 355 wheel is very close if not the same design except for maybe the offset. I have the chance to buy a set of 355 wheels with very good tires (70% tread) for about $1100. The wheels have a few finish problems, scuffs and one scratch, but no curbing or any damage at all the outer lip or bead area. I refinished some TR wheels by stripping them by hand and doing the prep work, and then a local body shop painted them. They turned out beautiful. I feel I could do the same with these 355 wheels. Factory center caps are included with the wheels. Through my research I found that spacers will be needed, 13mm fronts and 18mm rears to make them properly fit a TR. And of course the correct bolts will be needed.

    My current 360 wheels are near perfect, and the tires are new Michelin Pilots. So I guess I could sell these to offset the 355 wheels.

    Is this a good buy?
