Default Advice: Lsportline Model III 18's in Chrome

Whats up guys,

I finally have some extra cash to spend on rims. I was wondering if these are good rims to get. If not what would you guys recommend. Looking to spend around $2500.
Superbuytires has them for $2549 including tires
Heres the link:
http://www.superbuytires.com/wheels...ne&model=Model3
Is this a good place to order from , not sure what tires they come with though.

I got a quote from David at gtautosports for $2130 with OUT tires

Is there better wheels i can get for around the same price in chrome
Or is there a website that has them for cheaper
Anyone with pics of these wheels on a GS please email to me Want to see how they would look.

thanks
CaMs

L-sportline makes good quality rims. Go to their website at www.lsportline.com to see some pictures. They make body kits and other stuff, and are an exclusive Lexus tuner. I would not recommend buying from GTAutosports, some members have had problems with them. This should be posted in the wheels section.

Lsportline wheels are made in Japan i think, but they are good wheels which are strong.

Yes, 19's or 20's...you can get the multi-piece version of that wheel...of course, it costs more...

Those wheels are made by Enkei...good quality.

2130 w/o tires? That's list.

I can do them for 1875 w/o tires. They are backordered from L-SPortline right now, I don't think SuperBuy has them in stock either.

No...the wheel is not available in 19" in either style...

There are a few other wheels that are similiar (not exact) in style available in 19"...off the top of my head...

Altstadt Grans
Bersaglio Dish-Dazz used to sell this wheel under their own label...
OZ Operas
Auto Strada Genova-Hehehe...forged Magnesium...about $2K/EA

Are really stuck on that design or just the "dish" design?
