The pics work for me; I'd rather stick with the stockers than those personally.

yeah i know.. but i don't have plenty of $400 dollars options LOL. The only reason why i am even considering these is because they are mad cheap, but i would like to know at least a little about the rims before i make a final decision.

I never understood this kind of logic. Throwing wheels on your car BC its cheap just for the sake of having rims. Cheap wheels aren't good, and good wheels aren't cheap. Save your money for something better and something reputable BC if u hit a pot hole and crack a wheel you're gonna spend more money trying to fix a cheap wheel

yeah that makes sense, and that is exactly why i wanted to get some info on the rims so i can know the make and model? who makes them ? if they are reliable?? how much are they worth??? just because im paying $400 (including tires) does not means that's what the rims are actually worth. THAT'S A GOOD DEAL THAT CAME UP AND GOT MY ATTENTION!

they are 2 piece rims, usually 2 piece wheels are some what of an alright quality and not always cheap.

and no, that's not the logic here..i am not throwing those in there just for the sake of saying i have rims on my car or because they are cheap.

the logic i see here is spend $400 on those.. use them for a while... couple months later sell them for 350-400 again and move on. BUT before i do that i at least want to know THE MAKE AND MODEL (WHICH UNTIL TODAY NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THEM)?

if i had 3000-4000 bucks to throw on some decent well known rims i would do that from the beginning some works,some weds.. the list goes on .. LOL.

If wheels don't show any sort of marking of who they are made by, that's a good sign to step away and after hearing the price most definitely step away, who sells wheels and tires that cheap when usually one tire alone is worth $400... Look this is how it goes even rep wheels are more expensive than that a pair of Varrstoens will run you like $1200 and those are cheap wheels they bend easily.... now a good set of wheels like Works, SSR, Advans, Gram lights, AME, Wedsports, Volks, etc. they will run you about $2500-$4500 but you can always check the vendor section on here there's always someone selling nice legit wheels for a reasonable price. So you make the final call if no one on here knows that wheel then its a safe bet you should stay away from them, the last thing you want is one of them cracking or bending on you when you least expect it and then you are SOL!

Yes, the blue lexus is my car. I am going to take a pic of the back of the wheel maybe you guys can identify something that i could not. Most likely "YES" there is some sort of badge or writing on the back that identifies the maker of the rim. I know there are betters options out there But am curious as hell to know what brand or even model rims these are.

I agree with the others, F-sports look better are probably much stronger. Cheap rims bend so easily, especially at that size.
