Default New 17" Rims

All my 5 spokes 17" rims were bent and the tire shop said not fixable. I was looking at http://shop.wheelsrims.net/2002-lexu...y74147u10.html and found out pretty nice price. Does anyone use this site before?


Or should I go with the 17” from 2011 GS430? Does the 2011 fix 2001? Does anybody have any pic on this 2011 wheels?

You should upgrade to at least 3GS oem 18" IMO But if you wanna stick to 17" Why not the newer 2GS oem 7 spoke chrome wheels ?

Be careful, the 5 spokes you have linked are silver, not chrome. The chrome is $100 more. I personally think the GS looks better with the chrome 5 spokers.

I just called Wheelsrims.net. The representative said those rims are recertified and looks new. I got a reconditioned rims before from fleabay and was not straight. Did anyone get any recertified rims and they runs fine?
For $10 more I can get the replica one....


If I got the $$$ I will get this: saw someone in this forum has it.
