Default WTB Wheels for GS400 00'

I just got my 400 a few weeks ago and am looking for (as I should be) a new pair of wheels. I don't want to spend more than 3,000 W tires so am looking at really anything but dubs, HRE, and Lowenhart.

I love all of those rims but am not a bottemless pit....If you know what I mean

Hey do you guys know much about the 20 Inch Strong guys, I went to HIN in miami a few weeks ago and they had a bunch of wheels on display and many of them looked SUPER nice. I am definetly thinking that they will be my bride (one of) to help hold up my chariot

definitely try a set of iforged wheels....I think a set of 18s and tires would run around 3k....plus the quality of iforged wheels are neck and neck with hre.

I just bought a set of Iforged, they are great wheels but I dont think you are going to get them and the tires for 3K. The wheels themselves were almost 3K and I didnt do clear coat or any of the cool options and that was the group buy price. The tires cost me another 1100.

You might want to look at Volk or Axis

I might be selling my 20" Chrome Symbolic Forged 3-Piece Wheels with Tires.

20X8.5 in front and 20X9.5 in rear.

Car is mostly just for show show very very very little mileaqge on them and they were brand new wheels introdfuced by Symbolic in early 2004.

I get trmendous props on them at all shows and they are very very nice.

Go to my Gallery and you can see them first hand.

B/c of thei high-end nature (list for $1,150 per wheel) and the fact that tires are included , asking price is $3,400 plus shipping. Tires have 98-99% tread - Hankook Tires.

iforged are cheap, they are some nice wheels

I think Henry meant less expensive, and not cheap quality.

I thought maybe his idea and my idea of cheap were way out of sync, I know some of us are doing real well financially but woa.

He does have a IS 300.GS 400 and SC 430.

Hew Newb, for 3k, for dubs, quality wheels and tires, you would have to look for a used deal. You wil not find anything new with that price.Please take your time, check some pics out in the gallary, or in here, and see what you like and we can go from there.

omg! i am sorry if i put things in the wrong way... sorry about that. i didn't mean "cheap", i was trying to say they are much less expensive than wheels like hre or so. in no way would i imply the quality man. i don't even own a set myself. and from what i read, they have only improved the quality if anything

and nop, i am NOT loaded!

TIS wheels curretly are only avail in 20x7.5 for Lexus cars (the 20x8.5 offset is too low). So rule them out. As others have mentioned take your time and search the gallery for pics. I can pretty much tell you that 3k with tires is tight DEPENDING on what size you want, and then staggered, finish, etc etc.

Do this, look aroud the gallery, the come back and let us know what style, finish, and size of wheel you want and we can go from there.
