Default 19" Lowenhart BR5's

Hey guys I'm new to this forum.

Gotta question. What size will fit on your cars? I have a set of Lowenhart BR5's 19x8.5 +45 offset lug pattern 5x114.3. To make a long story short a local shop sold them to me assuring that they would fit but guess what they dont. They won't return the whlles either. They are being ******. So I must sell these. I only driven on them for a couple of months. In perfect condition!!!!

Here are some pics....let me know if you are interested

They don't fit your Acura or they don't fit your GS?

How much I might be able to do something with them.

P.S. in the future always do a fit check before you mount tires. The actually wheel companies will not take wheels back if a tire has been mounted on their wheels. The shop won't take it back because they have no insurance if they will ever be sold. It's messed up that they didn't do a fit check or did they?

Let me know a price of wheels only. No need for tires.

let me clarify. i know the guy with the acura. he should have gotten the 19x8 rims but the damn shop screwed him into getting 8.5...... so now the wheels are stuck out and rub like hell.... that's also one reason why he hasn't dropped his ride yet.

so he's asking if the rims will fit on our gs. i *think* it will but i am not 100% sure, can someone verify?

and yeah, if someone can help my buddy out that'd be great! he's been going through the worst nightmare with the damn shop...

Those things look like the offset is to low for that TL ,TL's need like +50 offset.

Leuxs GS fitments

5x114.3 bolt pattern so wheels will fit.
19x8.5 are not a problem for GS. I had 8.5 up front with 10 in the rear.
Recommended offset for GS +35....+42. His is a +45. May not be a being deal but not sure.

Thanks Henry....

Yeah guys...they shop totally screwed me. They and their distrubutor confirmed that these would fit. Basically they are too wide and the offset is too low. They stick out passed the fender so rolling the fenders won't help. I heard from two realiable sources that they will fit on your cars. Please confirm this. I don't want anyone to got through what I had to go through.

And yes I will be getting Tein SS coilovers once I get a correct new set of BR5's.

Hey lightbeing, how did you pay for the rims? If you paid by credit card, you can dispute the charges with your credit card company.

I paid for them 1/2 cash and half on CC. I'm sure the CC company already paid them so....

Any takers? It includes shipping in the 48 states.

You can still dispute the charges for the half on credit card if you wanted to. If you are interested PM me. I use to sell credit card processing and I know how it works. Just let me know if you are interested.
