Default LFA Style Wheels

I just noticed on www.mod-express.com that they have the LFA style wheels for sale. Anyone have these yet? If so, any advice, pics, etc...

thats funny because the REAL lf-a wheels are 20x9.5 and 20x11...why would they make only 19x8.5 +35? thats super weak....

I think they also have these on eBay for 799 per set.

I'm also holding out on a staggered setup. 19 inch is ok for me... I don't want to add anything bigger to slow my slow car down even more.

My preference is 18 inches.

I think these look great, esp in the dark silver finish. I almost bought these but the design was too similiar to the stock 17's that come on the 11' awd's. I also found a set of lighter wheels so I went a different route. Id love to see real world pictures of them on a IS though

I would run them if I knew more about who made them. I can't run generic/no-name wheels. Scared of breaking/other issues.

@Jeff, I felt the same as you. From reading the pages of posts on them, I gathered that they are a cast wheel and are pretty heavy. Get them Jeff, they would look great on your car!

I actually did a lot of reading as well, a lot of searching from people who bought other wheels from them. Couldn't find anyone complaining about them, so I may get them anyways. I can't say, but I do know that they would look fantastic on my car. That much I know. Haha.

my biggest concern would be the weight increase (if any) over stock. anyone know the weights on these wheels? i'm assuming them to be heavier than stock by a good margin which is a no-no in my opinion.
