I have 18's stock IS rims, but if you want more style get 19's tires going to cost more, i just like mines having a stock look.

^ man your car is battered, but that is more like it. probably only guy any where near rolling hard on 18s in this thread. running stock rims off another car is NOT what this topic is meant to be about.
i think the tyres still seem a tad chunky in those pics, but it could just be the angles and what not. but def a good use of 18s

I'm selling these real oem 2006 GS430 wheels if anyone in FL wants them. Not shipping. They have about 15k miles on them and are in excellent shape, no curb rash at all. Also comes with 2 1k mile Nitto 555s. $950.

Chuck, you might have better luck in the Wheels/ Tires Classifieds. I know there are many people out there who are looking for these wheels.
