Default Just made the pickup of a lifetime!

So as many of you know I got a set of IS 300 rims from my old job and had them painted and put on the car. Well, make a long story short they're definitely too narrow and what I really wanted were the 17x8 GS 430 5 spoke rims but I couldn't find any which is why I settled for the IS wheels.

Well I was cruising craigslist and found a set of unused 17" 5 spoke GS wheels. The guy had the L-Tuned ones put on about 200 miles after he bought the car in 04 and has had these sitting in his garage ever since.

So....I just picked up a set of 4 of the 5 spoke 17" rims that are basically brand new for...$150

I mean I figure that everyone here has seen them enough times, or I would have. Only small issue is that they have the gold "L"s on the centercap so ill have to get those replaced.
