Thumbs up 18x9 JDM OEM GS/LS Wheels? Pls help!
Hello,

I remember this place in So.Cal had these wheels for sale on eBay about 5 yrs ago and do not see them anymore except this 1 chrome wheel.

Does any1 know what they are called? I remember i saw it on a black 2GS and it looked awesome!

If you guys find pics, please share!

They look a little like the JDM Aristo 18x9 +45 to me.

Aristos stock wheels are 17" chrome wheels
The ones on your pictures look like TRD wheels by their design but they don't appear in the current catalog http://trdparts.jp/english/parts_index.html

These were offered as an optional wheel from Toyota in Japan - ie JDM. They are called VAPC wheels - stands for Vein and Pressure Casting. They are lightweight and come in at about 21 lbs a wheel.

Carson got some sets years ago and sold them. I have a set on my GS4 and I really like them

good to hear! I actually was able to locate a set but it does not have center caps.

Does the center cap look like any ordinary Lexus cap or something totally special?

If you know which wheel to cross reference to, that would be awesome!

The regular size Lexus caps fit perfect. I got a set off ebay.

Regular caps should fit if the hub size is the same.

Btw, are you getting rid of your 3GS wheels?
