I'd like to see some wheels like the one above, or some other tradional mini truck style billet wheels. In an offset and width that may be easy to tuck, say 18x7 et42 maybe.
OR a remake of andrew racing f's

How about something with a clean, simple design; Something that isn't so obviously a knockoff. Like maybe something similar to J-line - really plain, nothing really characterstic.
Also, I'd love to see more Scion friendly fitments. Something wide with semi-aggressive offsets, but not requiring spacers or fender rolling. Maybe an 8" width with 30mm offset.
Also, like Sid says, a real dish. Flat faces with no fake lip. Or even concave faces. IMO, concave faces with a little lip are mch more impressive than curved out faces with deep, but fake, lip.
I personally would like a 16x8 +30, 1-piece with a stepped lip, for around $600 - nothing too fancy. Perfect for a daily driver.

Curved out, adds extra "fake" lip:
Flat dish, only "real" lip:
Concave face:
I don't expect Steve to come out with high end, expensive, multi-piece wheels. These were just examples of what I meant about different stles of dish.
I would expect something more along these lines:
or a 1-piece equvalent w/o fake bolts, of some plain looking wheels like J-line:

I have been looking for a nice 4 spoke design. but all i have found is one style, and they were way to much money. So my vote is for a 4 spoke style. Mabir like atomicfuze's wheels but in 4 spoke.... https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=116263

The mesh has a better layout over the one I posted before.
Work Goocars Hemi. Painted spokes with a polished lip would look good.
