I think Aristo300 who started the thread wants your wheels.so if you buy new pm him. Also I have seen several places where you can see different wheels on this site.

some people start a build page here and you can also go to:

have fun!

I never realized my OEM, 5 spoke, 19" wheels were so desired. I'm glad mine have them. I haven't seen after market wheels I like better. But the , I'm kind of old school and think 5 star wheels are the best looking wheel style.

I found a newer set of the star rims for 800 with the tires on it 95% tread, I'm jumping on them before somebody else scores, can't wait to get rid of these stock 18's although there not that bad looking

Last week I picked up a set of aftermarket 19"sport rims for 700!, only thing is they are gunmetal gray, but they look cool and are brand new, My car is silver so I may keep the color or get them powdercoated oem silver.t Open for input on how you think they'll look on silver. Also I will have a set of four 18 inch 9 spoke wheels this week with Michelin oems and 85% tread if anyone is interested, there mint condition. PM me, thanks

Aristo300

Good luck with those! I think I'll go with some 22's for that kind of money.

That seem like a good price. There's a set on ebay for $900, so you beat that. Where did you get them? I want to get a set, but I want to go really cheap. My stock 18" have grown on me a bit, so there's less of a desire to get the 19" Touring wheel (not much less though).

In terms of gun metal on sivler...might be okay...not my cup of tea. I think silver cars look good with silver and black, or even all black wheels..

So put the rim next to the stock and snapped one. Although I'd like to keep them this color, I'm still not sold, so may have my powdercoater try and spray and match them close to the hypersilver color as possible.

I have the same wheels on my silver 08 LWB, painted the silver color of the car "1F2" and looks incredibly nice. See picture

looking good

CJITTY

Yeah..this color doesn't allow the wheel to "pop" like the hyper silver color. .I would feel the same way you do about not being sold on it

shrikelex

Right on! appreciate the feedback guys! Will post pics when Operation Hypersilver is complete

Mitty

hfahmy: great looking!

shrikelex: where did you get the wheels?

shrikelex

My friend found these for me. I can ask if him if there's more sets if your interested, but you'll have to get them painted, pm me.

Updated pic after the powder coat spray. No 2 pic shows center cap gun metal, it actually looks better in person, no 1 pic used the flash so can't tell its darker, my kid is my lexus mod advisor and advised me it looks better that way, so we will see, the color of the rim is actually matte silver which I never really planned for, it just happened. I'm pretty stoked to be done with the Gunmetal color

I haven't bought tires for it yet (probably get the AS3 Michelins at Costco, cheapest I've found 1100 out the door installed, etc. I seen them on a 2010 Panamera Turbo this skinny chick was driving in at In and Out, tires looked sweet nice too, haha), Overall I'm happy with the color choice, Enjoy!!
