take a look on Craigslist in your area...there are some nice looking black/chrome wheels on the newer cars and some still change them out...just a thought.

Default Here's an option

Would you be interested in the original chrome wheels off my 2006 for $400?

Are you selling the tires with the wheels?

nomods4me,

The tires are worn out run flats and I'm not planning on having them re-mounted after I retrieve the TPMS to install in my G-Spiders.

Nothing cheap and OEM style option are the 2IS wheels IS250/350 from 06+, I have seen 06 wheels for around $300 bucks the only heads up is they are staggered so you either neither to buy a set that has been unstaggered or by two and sell one unstaggered set off. I kept all 18x8.5s to go with wider tires.

sippy2,

Nope, don't mind you asking at all. I bought my G-Spiders from another CL member who had them listed in the CL classifieds. The wheels are in perfect, like brand new condition and had decent rubber on them. I drove to Toledo, Ohio and picked them up for $800.

I also found my GS wheels in the CL member classifieds. They're in excellent condition with nearly brand new Michelin Pilot Sport tires. I drove just up the road to Joliet, IL and picked them up for $700. The like new Michelin tires are going on the G-Spiders with my OEM TPMS in the near future. The OEM chrome wheels and possibly the GS wheels will be for sale at that time.

I think both sets of wheels look good on my white gold crystal SC.

Thanks...good info.

Let me know if you decide to sell the GS....not my first choice...but better than the stock 5-spoke.

I found some G-spiders....new on ebay for $1070 shipped. More than I wanted to pay...so I will be watching all the sites for used ones for a while. Also found some after market wheels on ebay that look very similiar to your GS wheels for $470.... and a few similiar to the G-spiders for $570...I like the price....just am worried about the quality.

If you want to get creative and only need one rim, you can buy these rims here https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sg...991334318.html and then buy these center caps https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sg...03217494.html. Between the two you should be able to get the rim you need and sell the rest to someone else who only needs one rim.
