I do think the RS05RR looks a bit sleeker, but they are a plus size which I think hurts the daily drive ability if you live on earth where we all have crap roads and kind of an aggressive fit on stock shocks (though supposedly people don't have problems with them). Sure people will agree till they pop a tire that running on tiny sliver sidewalls has never caused anyone any problems, but I find any car I've ever run a sidewall smaller than on these 17s end up in trouble.
I'm not too familiar with what impacts getting an 18" vs 17" can have, would you mind going into some more detail? Also, does a 1" difference make the car that much bumpier/rocky (I'm assuming that's what you meant by saying it hurts the daily driving)?

You'll save a lot of money in addition to the wheel price as you don't have to get new tires and they are actual forged wheels (not 'flow' forged like the enkeis).
Yea, every time I drive by a dealership or see the 17" TRDs on an 86, I always end up staring at it because it just compliments the car so beautifully. I would probably also purchase them in a heartbeat if they were 40% off at this very moment, lucky you.

Do you know if they ever go on sale besides that one-day 40-year anniversary event? I know cars go on sale or they offer discounts, but I've never shopped around for accessories from the dealership. Do they ever offer some kind of deal if you purchase an accessory by itself, not adding it onto a car during the car purchase?

Thank you.
