Default Lexus Knock-Off Rims

Does anyone have any experience with these knock-off rims that are supposed to fit the LS? Wondering about the quality of them and whether they require centering rings or if they're a direct fit...

PD,

Do you know if 2002 IS300 17" rims will fit on a 91LS?

Thanks

I think you'll need spacers for IS300 wheels..

not for a '91 with stock brakes he won't.

only time you need spacers is when you need brake clearance and the wheels don't have it.
