How is it overpriced? They're like $250 a piece. making it just a grand for the whole set. You can sell the OEM 18 Liquids for about $6-7 depending on how much beef you've left on the tires. So you only need another couple hundred + tires! It really isn't that bad..

Some how when I think of the phrase:

"Got my G-Spiders on"

I think of Hip Hop and Lil John... Lil E

I didn't even need new tires. I just used my stock tires (only have 5k on my car) since the G-Spiders are the same set up. Plus it was easy to swap the tpms too.

E,
It looks great! The wheels work very well with your black car. Car looks very clean too. Did you just wax it??

Also, I would suggest getting in on the Sewell Black Pearl sale tonight! They would be perfect for your car with tint. Nice and blacked out.

^^It was waxed with a double coat about 3 months ago. I had just washed my car that day using that ONR stuff (rinseless wash). I spent about 2 hours waxing my wheels that day too.

i love how the wheels look.... which wheels did you have before?

my issue with the g-spiders were that they weigh 25lbs a pop... thats a lot of unsprung weight, and seeing as the 250 isnt the MOST powerful car out there.... how different does it feel?

Erin,

Congrats on the G Spiders, they look very sharp on your black 2gen. Keep the modes coming.

I'll try to keep that weekend open (depends on my money situation - hopefully I won't have to work for my brother that weekend).

I had the stock ISX50 08 Lexus wheels before these. The ride feels the same as it did with the stock wheels. Actually the stock wheels weigh a little bit more than the G-spiders. Check out the specs from Sewell:

Stock: front/rear

G-Spiders: front rear
