What kind of wheels/tires on the 18? How much? Have pics? PM me. Driving on the oem summer tires is getting a wee bit scary now that its icy out!

^ haha I did that myself and then realized snow tires were not a bad investment.

They are the new Michelin Aplina III tires that were just released last year. I purchased them and used them on my car for well less then 500 miles. When I had Discount swap them off they asked if I drove on them I hardly use this car and now its an extra car so It will not see winter any time soon. I also have the certificates from Discount that you can have so if you blow a tire or anything that requires replacement its FREE to you ...

Rims are OEM Lexus 18" GSyder rims. All 4 rims also have the TPMS inside. So you get everything to slap on and drive and not have the flashing lights if your car has the TPMS system.

Im off today if you want to come see them or take them.

here to make this easier for everyone that keeps asking or sending me a PM here is a new listing so you can see them.

18" Rims & Snow Tires

16" Snow Tires & Rims

I can meet you up to help if your local to me. 18" rims are OEM rims and 16" rims are non OEM. Im firm on both of my asking prices. 16" would be great for a 2gen GS or SC. 18" would be perfect for a 3gen GS or 2gen IS.

all season tires and Lexus dont do well in the snow. you really need a set of snow tires around this area. first car I have purchased snow tires for is my IS350 and the GS430.

True that. I had bought goodyear eagle f1s due to the ratings it had for snow & ice for an all season tire and what a chore it was to drive on unplowed streets. I couldnt even get out of a parking spot if there was more than an inch of snow on the ground. Just got 2 blizzaks for the rear and what a HUGE difference it makes!
