Persons with Direct Experience with O.E. Wheels?

We've talked about Lexus replica wheels from O.E. Wheels in the past. If you have bought wheels from these folks, could you please comment on:

- Quality of the wheels
- Long term looks
- Weight compared to stock
- Fit on the car and center caps
- Ease of doing business with them.

I'm considering these to replace my stock chrome 18s for summer use:

You'll save by purchasing them thru ebay. I paid $530 shipped 6 months ago. I am VERY happy with them. They are the same weight as stock. The finish IS shinier than oem. The inner finish is black but you can't tell when the wheels are mounted. No problems so far. Check out this thread from a few months back.

It's reassuring to hear that you are still pleased with the wheels. I'm debating going with these wheels or dropping bigger bucks and getting some lighter weight forged wheels like BBS.

Im guessing with Forged BBS wheels you could shave 60 - 100 lbs off - but the less weight the more cost! Im purchasing some super lightweight rims from BBS for my 69' fastback track/stang rebuild.
