Anyone order these for a 3rd Gen GS? I have a 430 and one of the wheels is pretty bad, I need a new set. This seems to be like a very good deal. Does the GS have an 8 or 8.5 inch wheels?

The jig us up on these wheels. It was a pricing error in the database. I found them for $74 bucks each. Placed the order and it was cancelled an hour later. Tried two other places both orders cancelled.

Seem like it was just priced wrong and now they have all been updated. So anyone who received the wheels they ordered, you got $300 dollar wheels for $70 bucks and got lucky the vendor did not catch the error.

I did notice the prices have changed but I got mine from my local Lexus dealer. Full set came to under 300 bucks. I was also able to have town fair tire price match the tires they had in stock from $114 to $60 per tire. So all said and done I got a new set of F sport wheels and tires for 700 big ones 🤑

I placed my first order at the Lexus dealer, they took my payment and then refunded me.

So they took almost a year to fix the price?

Nobody took the initiative, when I went to palm beach Lexus, I placed my order, paid and went home. Two hours later they called and said order was cancelled.

Same for two other internet orders I placed. Then a few days later prices were updated on the websites that had the lower price.

my guess is all the people buying them uncovered the issue with the price. If you can find them for $70 still I’ll buy the first set you find

Really wish I bought a spare front wheel.
GF curbed a front wheel recently.
Not sure if it's cheaper to pay the inflated price for a new wheel, or just get this fixed.
And if I get it fixed, what will the result be? could be worse than what it currently looks like.
decisions, decisions

I have an extra wheel of each size. I was planning of keeping them as a backup, but I could probably get rid of the one you need for the right price. They've just been sitting in my garage since I made this thread.

Thanks for the offer, but after exchange and shipping (im in Canada) I think it'd be easier and cheaper to try a local shop to do the repair.
If that doesn't meet my expectations, I'll consider your offer.

Cheers!
