these wheels (like all Lexus wheels it seems) are lug specific. You need THESE specific lugs to work with these wheels...
they are sorta like a tuner lug, but better quality and thicker.

He's exactly right, they're alittle smaller in daimeter than stock lugs. Darrel originally forgot to send me the lugs, but sent them out quickly in a new package when I informed him that I didn't have them. The lugs were free, just might want to ask for them beforehand. Good luck....

The wheels look really ice in real life, they're not as flat as they seem in the pics and ask Darrrel to send you the lugnuts along with the package, I think they're smaller than the OEM lugnuts. I've seen Darrel sell the chrome ones on Ebay for something like 800.00 for a set of 4. Search l-tuned and you'll find them.
All and all, you can't go wrong ordering these from Darrel, very upstandong guy who makes killer deals.

Looks like I need to give him an email or call then. I revieced my rims today but I have no lugs. I also noticed that two rims were used with one showing obvious tire mounting (Lots of black rubber on the rim bead) while two this one and another one showed surface clear coat scuff marks. NO matter, it is minor and it was onlt $72 each. I do however need two more valve stems and all the lug nuts.

That's not very confidence inspiring....even if it is a great deal, I'd like to get what's being advertised, and I was under the impression that these were 100% brand new rims.
I may have to speak to Darrell personally when I order these...

Well, mine were brand new and all were still sealed in the factory box.Actually, I ordered quite a few things from him; 4 wheels, shocks/springs, and the aero kit. Everything was new in the box and didn't have any UPS kick marks 
MY only issue was that he forgot the instructions to aero kit and the lug nuts, both of which were very easily remedied. I found Darrel to be very accommodating, but very,very busy. Try giving him a call after lunch time.....

Thumbs up to Darrel again. This is the 2nd time I had a minor problem with an order but the response and correction will keep me coming back for anything I might need. He offered to replace the two opened rims but it is not a big enough deal to me to go through all the shipping again so I'll probably keep them. He also is sending out the lugs and valve stems today You might think I am 2 for 2 orders with minor problems so that would put me off, but I am also 2 for 2 in great customer service throughout the entire process so I think they are running a good opporation over there.PS, Darrel assured they are being sold as new and boxed, so mine was probably just a fluke and a return that got restocked with the rest of them.

Will these fit on a stock IS without any spacers etc.? Does anyone have any pics of what these would look like on an IS? I'm thinking they might look similar to the SportDesign rims, but a bit more agressive. Pics would be super-helpful though.
I know that 235/45/17 is the tire size on the GS, but would 225/45/17 rubber fit nicely on these rims?

I'd also like to know if 225/45/17 or 215/45/17 wheels will fit on these rims and if they'll fit on an IS300 with out having to shave or use spacers.
Plus, are they still on sale? Code doesn't work anymore.
