Ok, It's my turn, look what came today!!
18" L-Tuned salina wheels
I finally found a set and as anyone who's looked for them knows, the fronts are extremely hard to come by. I will need to get 2 new rear tires as they are toast. They are 275's and look pretty nice but i'm thinking about maybe going to 285's? The best part is, I managed to pick these up for not much more than what I paid for the L-Tuned emblems a while back (which I still need to put on too, moving is so time consuming!)
I still think I might be a little crazy for downgrading from the 20's, but I like the idea of having a full Stage 2 LTuned model and the roads in MN are horrible right now. So here is the Before pic, hopefully the after will follow in the next couple weeks or so.........
love them Trending Topics

COngrats on the purchase. They will look great on your car, and if you do 285s in the rear that would be sick 
Do you happen to know if the front wheels will clear a bbk?

As for 285s, it might be on the wide end for a 9.5 rim but I think it can be done. These rims come with 265s from the L-Tuned and will fit 275s.

Thanks guys! Yeah this was the set that was just on ebay. I thought the auction would have gone a lot higher but I guess I got lucky!
ddarbs55: I will keep you updated when I get these on my car but it could be a few weeks since i'm in the middle of moving and I have to order the rear tires as well.
GS300Rich: I have pictures on my computer of them with both Brembo's and Stoptech brakes, I can post them later if you like, although I pulled them off ClubLexus so you should be able to find the threads pretty easily.
