They look like they are crappy chrome wheels and only 7.5" wide. Please contact D2Autosport and he can hook you up with high quality wheels that wont cost a fortune.

I would definitely talk to Derrick over at D2 about the wheels. Cant go cheap on the wheels. I thought about it for about a month and finally dropped almost three grand for mine. Im much happier now that I did. When you look at the savings, its really not that much. Would you pay an extra $750 to get exactly what you want in a high quality wheel? I decided to make the jump.

You can always expect honest responses around here. We wouldn't let you do that to your car.

I see alot of people here say nono to Ebay knock off rims but a good portion of Club Lexus still sport these. I guess you can't save all of them.

I dont think there is anything wrong with ebay wheels if its within your budget (as not all of us can afford high budget wheels), but I definitely think you can find better wheels on ebay than that particular style. Find some nice mesh wheels, or 5 spoke style...you cant go wrong with classic styles
