Hey guys, i tried searching but can't really find much on these;
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Fi...Q5fAccessories



I really like the way the 3rd gen wheels look on our cars and this would allow me to keep my current tires as well as be hubcentric and get rid of vibration at 65mph (hopefully). I know that oem is best but its a tough find and even tougher to get to Canada. Please let me know if anyone has had/seen these and if they are ok. Thanks in advance

Yeah he has factory 3GS wheels on his ride which really looks good on his car especially because there painted too. These OEM wheels are the best looking on a GS whether it be 2nd or 3rd gen. I would wait and see if someone here on CL is selling them and willing to ship to Canada. I guess your okay with the higher shipping charges. Good luck!

Well, the wheels are DOT, JWL, VIA, TUV approved, so quality should be on par or close to the OEMs. That is good news for you. I know you're in Canada and finding a clean set of used OEM 3GS wheels may be difficult for you since shipping to another country seems like a hassle. Heck, I bought mine 2 years ago when the 3GS was still very new so not many people were modifying their cars yet so there were very very few sets of for sale (like today still). I had to purchase takeoffs from Sewell all the way in Texas. To be quite honest, I'd rather see you rock OE Lexus replicas than OEM G35 wheels. Remember, it is your car and if you don't mind people occasionally heckling you about the fact they are replicas, then go for it.

If that's with tires, then it's a pretty good deal.
