I think I would want like 18's on my lexus. I'm just trying to get an idea of what people think like good. As for my budget, well i have bought wheels on ebay before so my budget is probably anywhere from 500 - 1000 dollars

We have a CL approved wheel vendor that may help with your wheel consulting needs. They are D2-Autosport, and the guy to talk to is Derrick. He'll work with you thoroughly 
Where in CT are you? I'm in Danbury (Fairfield County).

So you're not far from Danbury. That's cool, send me a PM if you'd like to meet up in Danbury to see our ES in person, talk about cars and whatever, etc.

highly recommed D2!
You should talk to Derrick about what type of wheels you're looking for and the budget. He'll work with you to find the perfect wheel for your taste. I got mine from him and he's been really cool/helpful til the end. He's got more wheels than whats on the website...

Yeah those are nice wheels for a great price. We carry many of the same brands as tirerack and can offer the same mounting / balancing etc etc.
We recently added AT Italia and ASA to the site, as well as the specials page! Take a look by CLICKING HERE , and you can see the specials by clicking on Products - Specials

Hey Guys, Thanks a lot for your help. Lexusk8, I will definitely be talking to you soon because I think I will be purchasing wheels in the beginning of August. Also, I most likely will head down to D2 Autosports in Danbury, probably sometime in July or early August. Thanks again. I have the website of that place bookmarked.

How's the "Tire's Plus Wheels" place in Hartford... the commercials are on every station locally. I don't know if they offer the "pash" experience of D2 but they may have similar products for less.

Tires Plus Wheels are the typical local "rim shop", if you want something "round and shiny" then they are your guys. I stopped in there and mentioned iFORGED wheels, and the reps there thought I was talking about some new line of Diablo's. They were also selling some 19" Gianelle wheels to a guy with a e46 M3, and telling him "oh yeah man, you can just sell these to your buddy with a GS300 Lexus when your done", these were single drill wheels too.
In the past a couple of my personal friends have purchased from them and they received less than favorable customer service I was told.
