this is just my opinion, but i dont like them at all, man u should give up trying to find a cheap wheel to give your vehicle a "custom look" and break down and buy something quality, if u end up settling on something less than u really want then u will regret it and chances are youll get what u wanted in the first place anyway, just break down and buy some nice wheels, if u cant afford all in one shot, buy rims first and sit on them, then buy the tires,,,,,,,,,,,,just a question but is 19 or 20" staggered with tires in the amount of 2200-2500 with tires out of your budget?, if not let me know i have some ideas.......................

It's not that I'm looking for "cheap custom wheels". I just want something hubcentric and/or oem quality. And I don't need or want big fat heavy 19 or 20 inch staggered wheels. I don't want to sacrifice any acceleration or ride quality. I will probably be getting brand new oem GS 17inch 5 spokes and if that doesn't work out it will be Iforged hubcentric fluxes or aeros w/rivets from D2. And believe it or not, if I do get Iforged they will be 17s. That's right, 17s.

I haven't read the whole thread but if you want to keep the oem ride quality why don't you go with 18's and use 235/45-18 tires like the Michelin MXM4. That size of tire is the same aspect ratio as the OEM 17's.

Imo those wheels have a Mickey Mouse look to them, for someone who seems to be as proud of his car as you I'm shocked you would even consider those, as far as oem wheels, there is no real emphasis on quality they are just wheels, if you are more concerned with acceleration and ride quality over looks just stay stock.

I'm pretty sure that most oem Lexus wheels can take a beating a little better than 90% of aftermarket wheels. If they come factory on a Lexus they've got to be strong to last 200k miles etc. Also, I wan't forged, hubcentric wheels.
And I am concerned with looks but ride quality is a larger part of the equation. IMO, 5 spoke GS 17s(silver) look great and are the perfect balance. If they end up costing the same as Iforged though I'll just get in touch with Derrick (D2) and go that route.
