What do guys think of this rim? Either this or in charcoal grey with SSP? Probably just gonna stick with 18x8.5.

The front will have a 2" lip and the rear with a 3.25" lip. I honestly couldn't justify spending $900-$1200 per rim

Yes

Personally, I'm not a fan. They look pretty cheap. Also, inexpensive aftermarket wheels tend to have a lot of problems with quality. Which often translate into vibrations when you drive.

If you're on a budget, I would go with one of Lexus's other stock wheels before I'd buy those. Their G-Spider wheels are similar, but look a lot better in my opinion.



If you decide to order those, search the site for Sewell's discount code. They're a vendor and give members a 10% discount if I remember right.

And if you are into black, buy the quality G-Spider rims and get them powder coated.

XXR rims are of average quality at best.

18" wheels with lip will look smaller. I think you should go with 19 or 18 with no lip design

I totally agree with Liquid about quality etc.and just love his wheels, but I must say I am very happy with my inexpensive wheels that probably came from China.
Very little choice in the UK when I bought mine and one day I hope to be able to afford the quality wheels that Liquid has.
I have had mine for over a year now and put about 6,000 miles on them without any vibrations or problems even after fitting small spacers.
The roads in London are horrendous and they have been into some major potholes, also without a problem.
Without a doubt if your budget can stand it, I would go top quality.

Thanks guys, you all make good points. Yeah, those g-spider rims look a lot better. If I get them, I think I may just do what husker suggests or chrome plate them. Those rims look clean Steve!

And the shoe hunting continues...

Very nice indeed.

does anyone have experience or know if this website is legit? i feel that the hyper silver g-spider rims would look better than the liquid graphite.

also. not sure if it'll fit...says for '10-'11 model with a 5 lug x 4.5 bolt pattern

thanks

Yes

No idea if they're legit. But they're charging $50 more per wheel than the link I posted. Sewell is a Lexus dealership and sponsor of this site. If you search "Sewell discount code" they give us a 10% discount. So the site you found is actually more like $75 more per wheel.

Fa sho, I'll probably just do that then. At least I have some assurance that I'll be buying the rims from a Lexus dealership. Probably will make the splurge after I come back from Vegas, ha. Thanks for the help Liquid.
