Default MSR style 088

Getting rims and tires for the spring, has anyone put on a set of MSR style 088 19x8.5F 19x10R?
I love the style of the rims, nice and clean, almost factoryish, less flash than my current chrome rims.
Any pics lying around?
Is there any other brands that you could recommend with a similar style and price?

Ribbits? or Rivets? Just messing with you. Wheels look nice. I had been looking at a set of those too.

You can probably find a set of Maya/Maido GR5 which is better quality for that price. I know there were a few here selling those wheels for real cheap. You may want to wait around. Or maybe not..... Those aren't too bad for $1500 w/ tires.

I think I would like to try and stay with new rather than used. The car will never see a track, and since I'm basically getting them for appearance I would rather have something with no curb rash, scratches, etc...
Anyone have thoughts on other possible new wheels in that style/price range?

i was looking that tire up just to see if i could match the price! i couldnt find hankook ventus sport k104. i know i could do the wheels cheeper though i could get you thoes for about $506 + shipping. i would look around more, and keep this in mind about the internet co's like this one. if you have a problem with something you bought where do you take it back to? if you have never had to deal with a co on an issue like this it can be a real pain in the a$$. over all thats a good deal for everything i priced it out with the falken fk 452's for you just for giggles and it was about $1750 or so for the pkg shiped.

1500 is way to much for MSR's. The quality of the wheels arent bad, but I think you should be paying 800-1000 tops for brand new set. I have a friend who works at the MSR distributor in TX and he quoted me 700 for a set.

Looks cheap to me. I can't quite pinpoint it, but something about the finish
or the overall look just says "Pep Boys" to me. Sorry, I just think our Lexus
cars deserve better. Wheels make or break a car.

And... Ventus tires?

It's funny, back in 1991 I bought Racing Sparco RR 15x7 with Toyo 195/50-15600 F-1s... total out the door was $1550. That was for 15s.

Now $1500 is too much for 19s? I give up!
