Nice. I just hope they clear the front brake calipers. I understand about not spending 5000.00 on wheels. I'm also on a budget. I just ordered these Enkei wheels a couple of days ago. I think they look good. Here is a link to the caliper problem. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=237526

I think the design looks nice. They might not be really expensive, but they should give the car a different look which is what FrankyJ wants. Did you check if the wheels clear the brakes or if they're compatible with the TPMS sensors? Make sure that they at least clear the brakes so you have no problems when you get them.

Whats the big deal about prdering Konigs?

2 if u find some better rims with a price under 2500 pkg let me know (by the way not trying to be sarcastic at all)

I hate responses like this. Just say you don't like the wheels. That's all that needed.

Well "franky" I am just blunt, and honest. I personally would not go with something that would be a down grade from OEM. If you don't want to spend a lot of money on wheels that is understandable, but why go with something that is junk on a car that you spend 33k+ on. I am all or nothing kind of guy though, if I can't get the best then I would rather have nothing. So that is my rebuttal little "frankyJ" Not to mention some may find me obnoxious, I don't care, if they do it is due to their ignorance. Take the input for what it is. If you are that easily offended, shame on you for being so weak.

I wasn't offended at all actually, because i've seen you in other threads and realized your one of those people that dont know how to talk to people. obviously atleast 2 other people thats posted in this thread think the same, but hey this thread isnt about u so say all u want...

and i am planning on cancelling this, too many people giving negative reviews, that Explain themselves, unlike sin city... thanks ma people

I think you should go buy this book: "How to win friends and influence people" you obviously lack the skills necessary to interact with the general population without being shot at.
