Dont know what kind of rims they are because everytime I click on the link, it freezes my comp.

Moving this to the proper forum will get your question answered.

harris10101,
Sorry for reading this thread too late. The picture you see is my LS400 with moda R6 18x9 rims. I ordered them from tirerack.com for $249 each. I have them with 255/45ZR18 tires and they fit perfectly to my LS (99).

The tires are Nitto NT 555 Extreme Performance 255/45ZR18. I ordered them from discounttiredirect.com (no tax, free shipping) for $173 each.

I was in the same situation and got recommendation from some friends who've been using Nitto 555. You can go to discounttiredirect.com and query for a tire size. They'll show you many choices and usually the more expensive the better

I don't know, but my brother has them for more then 4 years. He had to swap the tires once. Swapping is a bit difficult because he had to basically take them out of the right wheels and put them back to the left wheels.
