What are "port takeoff oems"?
Are they fake Lexus parts?

thanks. no, they are real Lexus(Toyota) oem wheels. when people order a 2006 GS430 with optional wheels(spiders or tourmalines), they switch them at the port, before the car is shipped to dealer. basically, they have been driven on and off the boat.

Jeez. It's about time. I can't believe you didn't have the tires waiting at home when the wheels arrived.
When are you planning on getting the tread?

Slap those on and post pics. It'd give me an idea how they'd look on mine too.
