Default Anybody ever heard of L.A. Tire & Wheel?

Saw L.A. Tire & Wheel selling Chrome 18" GS430 Wheels for about $1200 a set on flea-bay. Just wondering if anyone knows this company and are they reputable?

Thanks

I think that's the same place I bought my LS430 18" wheels (chromed).

If so they did a nice job. No issues after about a year.

I saw them on ebay too and after looking them up, realized they were only 10miles away.

I went down there with my tires I bought from Tire rack (terrible P zero nero's, but that's another story) and they mounted them on the spot.

The wheels are pretty much flawless. The employees are very professional. I would highly recommend them!

The wheels they used were OEM Lexus and they sent them through their own chrome process (which has a pretty good warranty if I remember correctly)

My LS is my 'beater', sits outside and gets lots of miles. The wheels have had no problems cracking & still look great shined up.
