Wanted: G Spider Wheels for IS350

I have 4 of the standard IS 18" wheels in chrome. I found out that my front rims are bent, so looking to replace all of my wheels with the 18" G Spider wheels. Let me know! Thanks

They're like brand new for about $850 shipped to your door. You might as well go w/ some brand new ones that you KNOW aren't bent

how do you find out they are bent? Can you tell by looking or do you have to get them inspected.

air isn't leaking, so i guess i don't critically have to replace them. BUT, they guy at the tire shop spun them around on a wheel rotator, and it totally wobbled. also, center cap where the wheel connects to the axle was wearing down on one side.

they are bent up on the insides of both fronts. the first time that i had to replace the front right, it was because i could visually see the outside was bent. this time, you can only tell when the wheels are off. maybe i'll hold off until the tires start losing air?

what is the potential affect on the suspension? i ask because i bought this car and i plan on keeping it for ~8 more years, while i save up for the next gen M5...
