I didn’t know whether to post this in the GS forums or the wheels forums.....I posted it here to get more views and opinions. But feel free to move it if you think it should be in the wheels/brakes forum.

Additionally, I don't know if I'm allowed to post links to ebay, but just in case I'm not allowed to, here is the description and pictures:

this has been discussed before. the wheels are the jdm lexus wheels. some members on this site have these wheels, kevinle [CL member's sn] comes to mind. you may want to ask ppl who already have these wheels to give you an opinion. BTW i voted for the reasonable price one.

Don't no where you live but I bot my 16 chrome from him. He is a great guy to deal with and swapped my stockers and gave me new tires for a great price.


I would get these but he got them after I got my chrome 16s

Some questions...

1. These are not chrome correct? I currently have chrome 17's and have the chipping problem and don't want to buy more wheels that will end up with the same problem.

2. Can lower profile tires be used than are in the picture and will there be a problem with finding Goodyears that will fit JDM wheels (I think not but I thought I should ask)

3. Big Brakes fit?

4. Someone said he might take other old factory wheels in exchange, is this true? Credit given?

Will these wheels fit without rubbing since they are 18X9 with +45 Offset.

According to RominL fitament guide these are aggressive?

CinFulxgs

The seller did say they rub a little... The search continues...

I have these wheels on my SC and have had nothing but good luck with them. The only time they rub is on extreme turns, and it barely rubs a dime sized spot on the the inner wheel well splashshield, But that's on an SC. I tend to stay away from curbs so I'm not sure how tough they are though. I haven't measured for brakes, but there is a HUGE amount of clearance from the stock brakes and I would be willing to bet that big brakes would fit
I have 245/45 SO3's and they appear much lower profile than the tires on the GS pictured.
