Default Quick Wheel Question?

My gf recently bent two of her stock rims to the point it where it's causing all sorts of problems with the IS250 (2010 AWD). We are shopping around for replacement wheels and i came across a set of these LFA style rims on ebay. I was wondering if her stock TPMS sensor would work on these. And what size tires should i go with? I was thinking 225/40/18,she isn't lowered or anything. Oh yeah does her stock lug nuts still fit correctly?

She wan't some VS-XX but i said no, not gonna ruin such nice rims til i see some improvements.

18x8 +38 is the spec.

Are you in WA? Did your gf hit a pot hole?

I'm not sure about the replicas, but other members may have some input.

Maybe the F-Sport forged wheels could be an option since they are lighter and is stronger so it can resist a pot holes better compared to cast alloy.

Hope that helps

TPMS sensors should work, 225/40/18 is fine too, but I think you'll need aftermarket lugs.

Yeah we're from WA. My gf was out for her cousin bday and was driving and some truck merged onto her lane and she swerved and hit a curb. It bent two rims and LEXUS replaced one of her wheel bearings. Now the 2 wheels are in the back but we need to replace it soon before it starts wearing out the other wheel bearings.
