Default is OEM GS wheels worth it????????

Hey....

I' m trying buy a OEM 5 spoke wheel for my GS 300, 2001.

When it came down to it the dealership was asking for $2000.00 w/o tires.

Personally I think that OEM is too expensive. Also someone else told me that, I could get the same exact

replica wheels for the half of the OEM price. Other info that I' ve heard was that OEM wheel bends too easy.

Is that true???? Does anyone know where to buy this replica OEM style wheel????????

or go with a 19 inch aftermarket???? What do you guys think????

Goin crazy here trying to make a decision....
Thanks,
jay

Post a want-tobuy in our wheels classified forums for some used ones.

Replica wheels can be found on ebay and at http://www.aaarims.com/specials/lexus.shtml

Our forum sponsors have some alternatives that should be considered probably at the replica and the OEM new cost!

Another question If don't mind...

jay,

You've already got a question going on the exhaust topic in the GS forum in the correct spot, let's keep discussions on exhaust there instead of here in the wheels forum please .
