If I may ask.. why only 18's?

Rims are gorgeous though, similar to mine in a way

I just bought my IS350 and the previous owner put brand new 18in tires on it so Im keeping the tires just swapping wheels. Plus I want to maintain balance between nice looking wheels and performance/good mpg. 19s and 20s look good but are heavier and more expensive.

Fair enough. I stayed away from 20's as the roads up here can be nasty in some spots.. I needed new tires on my 18" lobster claw wheels so i opened my wallet up for some new wheels as well as new tires for them haha

My Niche m170's are 19's - 8.5 225/35 up front +35 and 9.5 275/30 +45 rear

I just order my 19" wheels about 2 weeks ago. They should be coming in this coming week

According to the spec they weight about 21-23 lbs each. At a size of 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. They are "rotary forged" and as such are much lighter and durable than the stock 18's

Are you interested in selling your stock rims?
