I just bought 19" rims :[````]

SET OF BRAND NEW LIBERTY 19INCH RIMS FROM JAPAN. FITS INFINITI Q45, LEXUS LS400, 430, GS300,400,430. RIM SIZE: 19X8.5 (+35H) & 19X9.5(+45) BOLT PATTERN: 5X114.3 COLOR: SILVER.

I can probably forget about performance of my car now but I love them. I do not think it is possible to get anything like that for the price!

Retro, don't want to burst your bubble, but those are old Lorinser D93 knock-offs (those were "THE" Mercedes wheel back in the early/mid 90's...) You're front wheel is going to rub unless you undersize your tire with a 235 (even then it might rub)...and you back wheels are going to tucked in too much (won't rub, but they'll look a little odd cuz they're sitting inside the fender a little too much)

http://www.lorinser.com/d93_e.htm

And most of the low end wheels from Japan are actually made in Taiwan (like the Manaray Vertec series...) If they're cheap, there's a reason for it...

hello,

i saw these rims on Ebay.
was it $699?

it really looks nice to me...

i wanted these rims for 94 ls400 when i get'em

i don't think it will rub your front fender or rear fender unless you drop your car like 3'

i suggested the front tire will be 245/40/19 and rear ones for 265/35/19 and i will look awsome!

nice rims.

knock offs?? who cares? if you like your style and enjoy~

I got them for the price of $750 all for of them. My car is lowered about 2" and i will drop it further when the rims are on it. I really like the look of them and especially the price. As manaray has stated above, they look like Lorinzer rims but I am actually happy they are not Lorinzer. I do not want to see MB rims on my lexus. I think it is almost as bad as putting a BMW rims on a Lexus (I would like to have Auto Cotures even though they look like MB rims).

I am totally happy with my buy and there is nothing that could change that. Not bad for a broke *** full time student I think
