They look great! Perfect size and style! But seems a bit high on price, though...

Please no more E-bay links next time, it is against Clublexus rules and regulations.


thank you

It is not my policy, but the Admins. You can private message static911 for more information, but I think the main reason is that we do not want any bidding wars between fellow clublexus members.

I guess a lot of people like those 18x9 wheels that are listed on eBay. I'm getting a set too. I like the fact that their graphite color (like the stock 16" wheels on my 2002 GS300 SportsDesign) and they look like stock wheels because of the Lexus logo and color. I had the chrome 17" GS400/430 five spoke wheels on my last GS300 but I wanted something different this time and something that wasn't chrome that could get easily chipped on the smooth streets of NYC. I found out that those 18x9's are an "accessory" wheel offered in Japan, in other words a dealer installed wheel. I'm curious to see what other kinds of "accessory" wheels are available.
