Default Same dumb question.......

I know the following question has been discussed on numerous ocassions, so let me apologize in adavance. However, the search function on the following topic did not really satisfy me. Anyway, I am currently in the market for new rims. I am only interested in wheels that are 18 inches and which are compatible with the standard Lexus run-flat tires. I do not want to spend over $2000 and nothing to "ghetto", for lack of a better word. I know I should be getting larger rims but I don't want to shell out more money for new tires, since I plan on purchasing another really nice car (still keeping my SC 430, though) next year andnot buying new tires will make me feel a tiny less guilty. Any suggestions on 18 inch, run-flat compatible rims for under $2k.? Also, if I order them by mail order, should I send them directly to Lexus to have them install them? Im not sure if I trust any local mechanics to receive the wheel shipment. How much should it cost to install them.? Thanks.

Lsportline, quality wheel, 1pc, low 500's chrome, mid-high 300's in silver. I think i posted to this same topic before. you have a limited choice with the run flats, and an even more limit with the 2k if you want chrome

I guess I'll go with the L-Sportlines. I didn't know they came in 18". Thanks guys. I should've posted this in the wheels forum. Sorry.
