Ok, Here's the deal... I must sell these QUICK... as in ASAP. 19x8.5 HRE 545 Series wheels off a GS400. $2250 shipped <-- DIRT CHEAP!! WITH TIRES!!! As before i stated... one is has a slight bend and a crack in the inner barrel, however HRE can replace the inner and outer lip for $300 (including labor).. they can also widen each wheel to whatever you want. The tires are in good condition, 245/35/19ZR Toyo in the front and Yokohama AVS in the rear. Pictures are here:

Considering the rims ALONE cost $5420 retail (figure another $1300 for tires = $6720 retail), I think $2250 is not only a SMOKING deal, but I think it's a little TOO SMOKING! Are these stolen? 
$1700? Come on, that's ridiculous!
Brian, you might have some buyers in the LS forum...

the wheels are used, have a bend in them that needs to be repaired. Since tyhey are used and presumably have at least some minor scratches, the price must come down.
the tires also have some problems with them and since they are far from being brand new, the prioce has to be really attractive.
obviously many people were hesitant to do anything, as evidenced by the lack of offers.
if this guy really wanted to sell, $1,700 or $1800 is very reasonable, especially considering that I would have to pay a minimum of $300-400 extra to have them repaired.
Also consider shipping to and from HRE and also the time delay before you can get them on the car.

Ted920, you need to calm down.
This is a friendly community to help fellow Lexus owner out. No flames throwing here, please. The boy don't like the offer that is his problem.
Please no *****in' at one another.

lol ted... i'm not being a ****... im protecting my investment, thats what smart people do... im not in that bad of a rush to sell them that im going to take that bad of a loss on them. if you looked at the pictures... you see the rims are in good shape, just ONE is ****(edited for content) up. and that rim still looks VERY good and all four are driveable. doesnt matter anyway i've decided to keep the rims anyway. i think you're better off buying a new set of HREs or something... thanks for your offer anyway... good luck.

Whoa Ted!
Hey...calm down...take some Lithium or something... 
How am I being a c*ck? Because I'm posting my opinion on your offer or are you saying that I'm a c*ck/d*ck just in general? Please clarify. Either way, last time I check, this was a free country and I am allowed to state my opinion. Unless that's changed in the last few days...(then again, with the way they're passing these anti-2nd Amendment gun laws, we may not have a 1st Amendment soon!)
You may not think it's ridiculous but offering $1700 for something that cost $6720, but that is ridiculous IMO. Even with the recent price breaks that Swift Racing is offering, it's still $1045 PER RIM (plus shipping) and that's without tires. Let's say you have to buy all new tires...new Yoko AVS's are $245/ea ($980/set) and those are at the bottom end of the price scale (great tires though, but they wear fast). So for a new set of HRE's and tires we're still talking $5160 new. Even with the cost of the repair worked in, he's asking for 50% of their current price (and that's at a DISCOUNTED NEW price).
I mean if you were asking for a couple hundred off or something, that would be reasonable...but another $550 off?
As for your shipping concerns...I'm sure he would have been willing to ship the damaged one directly to HRE and then ship the other three to you. Then you could then just pay HRE the $300 for the repair and a delivery charge (which works out like $35 for FedEx home delivery of a 50 pound package with $1300 worth of insurance and it's delivered in 1 to 5 days from Vista, California to Hartford, Conneticut.)
As for wait time...HAHAHAHA....go ahead and order a set of NEW ones...it's a MINIMUM of a 4 WEEK wait.
As for the lack of offers, that can be attributed to the many things, including (but not limited to) the style of the rim (rim style is a personal thing and maybe the people shopping for rims here were looking for a different style) and the lack of traffic...Club Lexus's Classified doesn't exactly have the traffic flow that eBay does (but it's getting there!)
And what formula did you use to figure that $1700-$1800 is "very reasonable" for HRE 540's? If you can find 19" HRE's like the set Brian is offering (or ANY of the 540 series in the same size and bolt pattern) for $1700-$1800 used, with one minorly bent one, I'll buy every single set you find and give you an extra $100/set for a finders fee. Find me 17 sets and you'll get your set for free.
Hey, this is starting to feel like a bimmer.org thread!
Hey Brian, I would have given you $1800 just have a set of spare rims and tires or to sell them locally.

Ted if you don't stop this attitude and threats I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Your attitude towards others are unacceptable here and will not go unnoticed. The man don't want to sell his wheels for that price that is his problem. Move on to better things, man. This ends here.

I agree with loule. Any more flames especially in the Classified section stop now. I don't take sides on flames, this is what we don't tolerate.
This thread will become non-grata in a few days - gone.
Thanks for your understanding...
