Question Lowenhart Ld1....did i make the right choice?

HEy guys i bought a set of 4 Lowenhart Ld1s off ebay for 2000 dollars. they are used with about 800 miles. Tire size: 255/40/19 and the tires are Dunlop S9000. The tires have 90% thread left? What do you guys think? Did i make the right choice or did i get robbed?

Thanks in advance

You can't go wrong with the LD1's...very nice wheel. It looks like you got it for a good price.

Default Nice wheels..

although I've heard they're a bit on the heavy side. Nice wheels nonetheless!

The rims are being shipped via UPS tomarrow. I talked to the guy and he explained why hes selling the rims. He bought the LS430 used fom a lexus dealer in Texas and the ride is to sporty with these tires/rims. That's why he sold them. They are CHROME 19 inch LOwenhart ld1's with a 114.5 bolt pattern and have no scraps or anything. He's very kind and is also only charging me 100 dollars shpping and said he will cover the rest of the payment. Anyone know if i'll run into any problems with the fitment?

I think that you might have problems fitting 255 in front. I have 245 in front and under full turn the outside will just touch with the fender (car is not lowered at all). I guess it depends on the offset. It looks like I may have a little bit of room on the inside still. I guess you will find out when they get there.

BTW nice choice on wheels. And it sounds like you got agood buy.

Sounds like a deal if they come in OK, my only worry was the price, thats about $3400-3500 worth the wheels there.

What is the guy's name you are buying these wheels from? I too thought I was getting a good deal on Lowenhart wheels from a guy in Texas and he ended up stiffing me after I sent him 2000, I am not trying to worry you but seriously pm me the name of this guy ASAP.
