Ebay $400 + shipping ($110 - NM to GA). The wheels only had 2000 miles on them. This seemed like a great deal, until I opened the boxes to see that the faces had not been protected and the wheels slid against the boxes for 2000+ miles on a FedEx truck . When I brought this to the sellers attention, he was a very stand up guy and refunded $100 for the damage. I spent several hours polishing the wheels with several different compounds. I have not tried and wet sand and buff for fear of making it worse. The damage is still there, but it is greatly reduced. I also got a really good deal on the tires - $612 out the door (mount, balance, new TPMS programmed, tax, etc). I paid $55 for 4 brand new TPMS sensor on ebay as well.

$400 wheels
$110 shipping
-$100 damage refund
$55 TPMS sensors
$612 Tires (mount, balance, TPMS program, tax)
-$70 Michelin mail in rebate
--------------------------
$1007 <- I was pleased.

Nicely bought!
I did a double-take when you posted pics. It looks so much like the gen2 gx w/the wheel swap.

I thought about chroming the FJ wheels and then I go back to just leaving them alone. Time will tell I guess. I’m also looking at the different brands and sizes of tires to go on the FJ wheels. Here is a pick of the new wheels waiting for some new rubber.



You got em...nice!!!

Did you ever work out the center caps with the guy that bought mine?

Nice set up. I was waiting to see who got the 460 wheels on the 470 first. We may have a winner.

Arroz, very nice, thank you!! now did you stick with the the stock size tire, 265/65/17? Are those Michelin? Lastly I forgot, are those wheels in a matt or semi gloss finish? Now all you need is some Lexus tags on those caps.
