Oem wheels, replica wheels, forged 2000 dollar wheels. All will bend or crack if you hit something. Plenty of people have used replica wheels and have no issues but if you wanna pay more for oem wheels go for it.

I looked into replicas
I was about to order one too
The repair shop however got me a rim for $200 (refurbished)

I hear you guys on that replica game. Idk to me i just didn't want to, but gotta be opened minded

Thanks guys

It's this, rep, or upgrade. Personally I'd buy the used set....
if I were to get a whole set I would have no where to put the other 3, but used is a good way to go its just sometimes it takes awhile to find what you need and at the price you want. I needed one asap. Thanks though good info. Minds corrupted by price = quality.

So even with an employee discount its $483.
Looking online at anything not from Lexus looks to be a replica

Does anyone know a place in San Diego or website that sells authentic 2008 18" liquid graphite 10 spoke front rims?

Need help ASAP!
Ktran, I'm telling you, if you only need one wheel, go on ebay and do a quick search you will fin several single OEM rims. I seen them as low as $85.00 and in good condition!!!

Haha i went on ebay and looked it was hard to find a front hyper silver single rim. Unless "lexus 2008 oem rim" was the wrong thing to search.

I ended up going back to the repair shop and got a refurbished one

Hey Katran, I had narrowed my serch with "lexus Is rim" and came up with several rims that matced my application.

Also I learned that stuff moves around pretty quickly on ebay. If you can't find it today, tommorow is new day with new inventory!
