Not sure if that pic is gonna work. Anyone seen these on a TL? I think it may look pretty good. Not sure of the offset, I believe they are 18 x 8.5

^Yeah I know who you're talking about too.

The wheels are good looking but I've seen them on so many IS that they looked out of place

Well I have stock chromies and was looking to go to an 18 and thought these may be a nice switch.

sometimes a nice common OEM wheel on a completely different vehicle looks fresh, and by fresh I mean new, not that other fresh!

Yea I know what you mean... I see IS350's like a hundred times a day around my neighborhood.

IS350 wheels? G37S wheels? Altima SE-R wheels? Infiniti M45 wheels?
Why...?

People like trying different things I guess....

pohljm

the OEM wheels are usually of good quality and can be had very inexpensively

bforbrian

iTrader: (11)

Valid point; at least if you are going to get another vehicle's OEM wheels, make sure they are at the same level if not from a much nicer car. i.e. not altima SE-R wheels.

yeah, they are easily obtainable, low cost, and an upgrade over stocks.

i hear what you're saying brian, but not everybody can afford $2k wheels. i swapped my stock type-s wheels for 19" g35 forged rays (straight trade) and i think they look good. sure...they're from an infiniti...but who the hell cares? they're larger wheels, forged, less weight, an all around win.

i do have my eyes on some other nice wheels, i'm just trying to find a good deal on them. for the time being, these will do just fine.

Lexus wheels have smaller hub size don't they do they have to be bored out to 64.1. Come correct me if I'm wrong. To me, that would be a waste and I'd just go with aftermarket

pohljm

^ I would like to know that! Those pictures are of a lexus OEM wheel on a TL and there was no mention of needing to enlarge the center bore? unless I am missing something.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

Yes, they do need to be bored.

myron

iTrader: (4)

yea I remember the FS thread and the guy said they were rebored to fit. Look up the Lexus center bore and TL, then see for yourself.

i dont like seeing cars rocking another brand of cars stock rim wtf??

just get something else or stay on your own stock rims

pohljm

^ yeah nobody would want IS-F rims on there car! WTF good looking rims are just that it doesnt matter where they originated!


Yeah confirmed lexus rims are 60.1 center bore.

Or do what you want to do, since it is your car. BTW, it will probably look good IMO.

pohljm

doubtful, with cost of boring they are not that great a deal

jwr0ng626

my gf thinks the same.. thinks its boring and a waste of money.. (but some wheels DO look nice like the 19" rays)

lol but just do whatever floats ur boat

murph145

haha yea i really dont care what people rock on there cars ive seen worse than running alexus rim on an acura that was just my thoughts if i am going to spend $ i might as well just grab a rim that is totally different ive seen every lexus in the world with those rims on it would just look very strange to me

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

i agree with that...but if you don't have to spend any money at all to upgrade, why not?

17" stock type-s cast wheels OR 19" forged wheels?

there are a lot of "other cars wheels" that i would not put on my TL, but i think the G35 forged rays look dope on my car...and it was a straight trade, so it's not like i paid anything for them.

i certainly would not buy another cars wheels tho.

murph145

oh yea totally if its just a straight swap id upgrade to larger rims... the TL's stock rims are ehhhhh so anything forged and larger is better so with that i agreee... i just wouldnt go drop $ to buy new from a distributor i didnt realize it was a swap anb such
