Default Are these rims quality rims, or junk?

I really like the style of this wheel for an LS430. I would be getting 20x10's out back and 20x9's in front.
I've never heard of them though. I don't want to order some wheels and find out later that they are of crappy quality. Have any of you guys here heard of these wheels or know of who makes them? I believe they are called Lec's RCK. Thanks in advance. Btw, would they look good on an LS430?

If your not sure 100% what they are, then how do you know they're offered in these sizes? Although they do look good, and would set off an LS430 definitely. As far as quality wheels, I'm not sure. Maybe some of the other CL members have heard of these and can tell you a little bit of background on the company.

I can't believe this!!!! 353,000 Yen for 20x10 and 20x9 Work Euroline LS's WITH Pirelli P-Zero's.
That equates to $3,015.18 I can't even touch the rims alone here in the US for that much.
That sucks.

actually the actual rate that you will get for exchanging yen is ~1$ : 110(though the publish rate is 117, this is where bank wants to make $$$), then you need to add $40 wire fee, so the set of 20s is ~$3250+$750 for air freigfht from japan on a set of wheel+tyre, PLUS, custom broker fees, plus, custom import duty.

total: ~$4200/set

yeah, we pay for what we like..BUT, it is worth it for the lexus we adore...

For that much, I'll just get some Zauber Gettin's. Hey GS4Will, can you PM me with a quote on some Zauber Gettin 20's? W/O tires that is. I believe I read somewhere that you got Adrian his Gettin's. Thanks.

GS4will- Do you have hook ups on used set of wheels and tires from Japan? There is a place there that specializes in used VIP stuff. I think the place is called Hasegawa.....I would love to save a few dough on buying a used set rather than a brand new one.

The LECS are actually not bad wheels. They are cast wheels but they're decent. For the money, I would look at some Rays or Work wheels. Also, if you're not necessarily stuck on getting JDM wheels, email me about iForged wheels...

SSR Agle Premium (http://www.speedstar.co.jp/collectio...ium/index.html)
Work Euroline IS (http://www.work-wheels.co.jp)
Zauber Crazer (largest only 18")
Maya / Traffic Star DTS

Good luck on the wheels, and post the picture !!!

Thanks for the help guys. I found out that they are made by Enkei. I've decided to go with all chrome Zauber Gettin's. BluLex stopped by my house today and I got to see the 20in. Zauber's up close. The attention to detail is sick. Every rivet says Zauber on it. I was very impressed to say the least so, Zauber's
it is.

Zauber Gettins still one of the best values
