They were $800 during the summer special with Sewell Lexus, a vendor here on Club Lexus. Main reason why I stuck with OEM stuff is because my local Lexus dealership would not honor my warranty if I didn't use OEM parts. I know it sounds stupid but I didn't want to take the chance since I get my car serviced there. I also didn't want the hassle about worrying about the TPMS so I just went with these wheels. Also the price was just too good. Local dealership was going to charge me $1800 Canadian for the same set so I got about 50% off buying from Sewell.

Thank you for showing me what my car would look like on ISP's... now I'm REALLY drooling! Looks great. By the way, can someone please photoshop one of these pictures to see what it would look like with the Eibach 1" drop on it? Thanks to anyone who can help!

Looks great, did you go with a staggered setup or no? It doesn't look like you did but looks great regardles. Deciding on rims for the AWD is so hard to do...

I think the car looks awesome!!! I have ISP-Mode wheels myself and love them! By the way, did you buy the tires separately? I'm just surprised to see Pirelli tires on the car because I don't think Lexus outfits wheels with them from the factory. You should install the OEM body kit to make the car look even better

hey Vege car looks amazing

how much was shipping from US to Canada?
and did you have to pay duty importing it? I'm guessing those wheels aren't made in North America...
Did you get hit with tax?

I was looking to get a second set of the ISP Mode for winter tires but my dealer wants $1,300 with labor but I don't need the labor. I haven't called him back yet to get the price with w/o labor. Here is part of the email he sent this morning...

My name is XXX from XXX XXXXXX Lexus parts dept. I'm thinking you have 18" tires and wheels already installed on the vehicle and if so the prices are as follows. For the four wheels, center caps and labor $1300.00 plus sales tax. If you need tires they will be an additional $1300.00 plus tax. If you would rather give us a call I can explain better over the phone. Thanks and have a good day

I'm used to cleaning these OZ Superturismo Evolutions on my old car so it's about the same

Tyks: Shipping was $130 and I am sure they will send me a bill for the duty and tax. I wasn't home when Fedex delivered the package but I've had them drop off stuff and then send me the bill later.

Thanks for all the good comments! I am sure I will get the full OEM kit if there is a sale on it. Having the spoiler for now is good enough

130 isn't bad...
