looks interesting. I guess I would do that mod if I had no budget for wheels....and enough budget for 4 cans of gold spray paint.

all kidding aside, if you like it...thats all that matters.

i really don't get why people like these wheels, they are ugly with weak offsets. They may be forged but to the OP don't bother with these. Spend the money on some nicer looking wheels with staggered setup and a big lip.

I have to agree. If you don’t like them you never will.

BUT here’s the reason why I like them

first inexpensive. compared to other 19 inch forged wheels.

these are the specs

Rays Forged 19" ++++++++++Optional 19" G35 forged wheels

Super-Light Weight Forged Aluminum Alloy +++++++
Front
Size: 19x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 19 lbs ++++++
Tire: 225/40-19

Rear
Size: 19x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 21 lbs ++++++++++
Tire: 245/40-19

I have to admit. They are not originally made for Lexus, but they are very good wheels. I live in the city and I have not yet bent one. They are light weight and also do not rub at all. If anything I rather put Nissan wheels than Honda whees

here is more info on these wheels

who cares what they think as long as the owner likes them.

Sure, 3-4k would get you a nice set of Scaras, VS-XX, etc. But I'd rather spend 1.5k on those Rays that clear my BBK, nice set of tires, and spend the rest of the 1.5k on suspension mods to make my car drive better.

Just my 2cents.
