WTB: Stock 2006+ GS 300/350/430 18" Wheels
I'm looking to upgrade the wheels on my SC400 and the 2006+ GS 5-spokes look awesome on the older SC's. Here is a pic of the wheels I'm looking for.
Thanks!

yeah I've been checking there quite often. I was winning a set for a crazy low price, and got out-bid at literally the last second. I also figured I might have a better chance at getting a quality set of wheels here, since forum guys tend to take care of their stuff. You never know what you're going to find on ebay! Thanks for the reply!

I hear you. I too played the bidding game on eBay on a set or two and got outbid. Once case was pure luck for me that I lost, as the wheels were not genuine Lexus parts. Be careful, there are plenty of knock offs out there. I ended up winning a bid and bought a set of, OEM, 5-spoke take-offs from a GS430 about a month ago. The seller was Sewell Lexus of Dallas. I felt safe buying from them as I have dealt with them in the past. Paid a little more than I wanted, but not as much as buying the wheels new directly from their website. Wheels were practically brand new. I'll get around to posting pictures one of these days. As soon as I get a chance to clean her up. Good luck!

What did you pay for them?

I paid $800 plus $48 for shipping. I thought that was good considering one wheel, brand new runs you close to $300 w/$25 shipping. Let's see, $325x4=$1300. A close to $500 savings seemed like a good deal to me.

Thanks for the info. I would definitely sell my brand new 4 wheels for that price. Again, thank you.

Dang, I wish I had $900 on me right now. Unfortunately, with Christmas coming up I really don't have that kind of cheese for wheels. I was hoping to find a good used set for less money. I will keep you in mind though, cause I love the look of the Chrome on my black SC. The stockers are chrome and look quite good, but they are starting to flake and they won't clear any kind of big brake kit.
Thanks!
Thanks!
