Opinion on these Alvarus wheels 19"
Should I replace my 18" OZ Salinas with these 19" Alvarus AV3 wheels? I can get a set of these shipped for $400 bucks from eBay. Tirerack has them on closeout around $600 shipped. I drive an 01 Millenium Silver gs300.

Not too shabby for the price, but I hate center caps that cover the wheel lugs. The cut into the spokes doesn't look good.

Yea I'm having 2nd thoughts because I don't love the wide open look of only 5 spokes, my car has 9 now. I would need to paint the calipers to make them look nicer. Plus I fear the price means they might bend easy.
