Pretty lucky. Two sets of phat rims. Tough to compare without both being mounted but I think I would chose the L-sportlines because the 5 spoke rims looks so good on the GS.

ARISTO*7 I did install led bulbs in the rear. I had bought regular red bulbs but after a few months they would fade and make a orange color. After replacing them a few times I went with leds.


After haivng such bad driving conditions with the Work rims I wanted L-sportline because I have only heard good things about there fitment. I came across this set for a bargain and bought them. I really wanted the model iv, but in Chicago every store wanted Full price to order them. Online I could never find them on sale for a good price either. I would have also peffered the l-sportine I bought in silver and not chrome. Usually people label you as a punk when you have chrome rims. When I saw these new 18" oem spider rims I was hoping the ride quality would be great. Which they are. I have not tried the lsportline. Also for the price from swell is was to good to pass up. I am lucky that they both use the same tire size if I plan to switch.
This brings me to my next question.
I have chrome oem door handles. Do you guy think they would look stupid with this silver sprider rims?

well i am probably a bit biased towards mesh wheels so i won't give my comments

but the wheels fit pretty darn good. i wonder if there are angle pics of the 3gs with the same wheels, so i can give it a wild guess about the fitment of the wheels on 3gs

dwoods420- how are the spiders working out? any rubbing or offset issues?

Hello,
Thank-you for asking. They are Great . I am in Chicago and we have been having some good weather. I have been doing alot of driving and the rims are perfect. I did not lose any ride quality from the oem 16". The car is driving straight, no viberation ever, and takes bumps like normal. I will check the tires soon to make sure the are not wearing funny. I also put different center caps on them. The flush ones. I have not taken any pictures yet, but they alot better. I am having my srt intake installed this week. I can't wait.

Alot of my friends have lexus with aftermarket rims and I just do not like the problmes that come with them. It seems no matter what the ride quality sucks. I am happy I went with the oem 18". And from swell lexus at $810.00 for the set inclduing shipping it was a deal.

Hi dwoods. Just sent you a pm .

chuckb

dwoods420-do you have any more pics that show how far out the front wheels sit? I'm just trying to get an idea of how the stock 3rd gen wheel offsets look on 2nd gens.

thanks

btw-the titanium finish on spiders flows well with your silver car

Thanks Chuck, my first mod in such a long time
No disrespect, but everytime I see your name, I think of Charlie Brown, especially when you have the "b" on the end.
