Default Anyone purchase replica wheels?

Hello, I just purchased a 2002 SC430 problem is the previous owner has some horrible rims put on it. Has anyone purchased these Lexus replica rims that are on ebay? I would like a nice OEM look but really dont want to pay upwards of $1500 on rim for a 3rd vehicle, thought these might be the solution along with spacers.

Any input would be great.

Personally I would go for G-Spider wheels directly from Sewell Lexus. A set can be purchased for about $900 wiith the club Lexus discount.

I saw your previous post and thought it might be a good option. I was thinking of going with black ones since the car is white. How is the offset? I would keep my suspension stock and ride quality is more important than style.

According to the Sewell Parts site the offset is 45 mm

My personal preference would not be black wheels on a white car as it makes the wheels and tires seem to disappear . Black wheels on a black car look great.

I agree completely. The black wheels seem to disappear on a white car.
