@mrkwinning, what size tires are you running in the front? They look REAL low profile. If that is how short the sidewalls go on 20s" I can forget about it. The potholes here would KILL the tires in no time

Great looking wheels, BTW
Thanks! The wheels are 20x9 and 20x10. Tires are 245/30/20 and 275/30/20. I got these tires used from another member so the thread is prob only 50% left. My next set I would prob go with 245/35/20 or even 245/40/20 for the front and 275/35/20 in the rear. I'll decide after I get my drop.
Yep CARiD sucks! They will lie to you and say items are in stock when in fact they aren't. I called in and placed an order on 8/1 for a set of wheels and tires for my wife's GS350 as I wanted to verify fitment and and to make sure everything is in stock. Luis @ CARiD stated the wheels would fit and everything is in stock. When I asked him how long it would take for the order to arrive he said delivery will be no later than 8/15, so I placed the order. A few days go by and I decided to login to my CARiD account to check the status and realize the ship date has been pushed to November 2nd. Once I saw this, I immediately emailed support to say this is unacceptable and to cancel the order. CARiD support responds that they cannot cancel the order since these wheels are "custom ordered". How can wheels that are "in stock" also be "custom ordered"?! After hearing this, it was obvious CARiD only wanted to tell me what I wanted to hear so I would place the order as the items were in fact NOT "in stock" as they claimed! They knew full well I would have never placed the order to begin with if they were truthful in the delivery date from the get go!!! I'm now in the process of disputing the charges with my credit card company so I can get my order from another vendor in a reasonable time frame, but even that is proving difficult. Apparently CARiD's policy has clause regarding this. BUYER BEWARE!
None of CARid's items are in stock...they are all made to order type of things...
Not from what Luis @ CARiD led me to believe as he confirmed "in stock" before I placed the order. Obviously this company knows no bounds when it comes to misleading their customers as they will say anything to get you to hand over that CC number.
I don't really trust ordering wheels online. They might send the wrong fitment and you won't know until you're at the tire shop then you have to lug them back home and send them back. I like to see how they look and fit before I buy.
Finally got my wheels in from CARiD -- never order anything from this lying deceiving company ever again! Most of my wheels have to be rebalanced because of their tech doing a **** poor job of balancing them. I'm just glad to finally have them though!
I'm really happy with how they look on the car! I just need a F sport rear spoiler and some lower springs and I'm done with this car.

I was also pissed when carID told me my Niche Apex were in stock when I discovered they were lying. They were going to refund my money but I decided to give them another chance to be honest. But if the wheels weren't at my door the next promised date, i was getting on a plane to rattle some cages. I initially wanted the Milano but it was too far out of stock. I took the Apex but glad I did. They have more style in my opinion. Most of the Niche are nice though so its all good.
We should make this a Niche owners thread!
Dan, wheels look great but that car needs a 1 inch drop. Use the Tanabe NF210 and the ride will still be stock smooth.

Sounds like this is a common practice with CARiD. You got the same song and dance I did but they wouldn't let me cancel.
You recommend the Tanabe NF210's? I know Lexus makes a set as well. This is my wife's daily so I don't want anything too crazy but I do agree it needs a drop. Thanks for the input and great looking car.
