Well, one of them, at least. The others are coming on Monday. Don't ask why only one came because I have no idea. I was hoping I could put them on over the weekend, but I guess it'll have to wait.

One question, who installed your P-Zero Neros? The tires are installed incorrectly. The side you have on the face of the wheel should be facing on the inside.

Is it just the reflections or the edges looks like it is all messed up?

that's what I thought too. those are the inner markings.

I got the wheels and tires from Sewell Lexus. Actually, Sewell got the tires from Tire Rack and then put them on the wheels for me. How do you know they're facing the wrong way?

Those "scratches" on the edges of the wheel are actually some kind of waxy residue I guess from when they put the tires on the wheels. Don't worry, it rubs off.

The pirelli lettering is different on the inside. read the tire and it will say inner or inside on the side wall on one side and outer on the other.

The grand total after shipping was $1647.55.

The wheel is over at my friend's house so I'll have to take a look at it next time I go over again. Thanks for letting me know. Also, the tires will have to be taken off anyway because I'm going to have the tire pressure sensors transferred over onto the new wheels when I take off my stock ones.

SGT

Do all tires have an indication that say "inner" and "outer" on the sidewall? I didn't get a chance to look at the Pirelli's today but I looked at my stock tires and wasn't able to find any indication. I also looked at my friend's stock tires on his Scion and failed to find those markings on the sidewall.

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal. Please post some pics after you put on the new wheels. I have the same car (06 GS300 AWD) and am interestd in adding the same or similar wheels and tires.

Would also be curious to hear whether you notice any big changes in the way the car handles.

Those look nice. Would they fit a 99 GS400 too?

SGT

The wheels will be put on this weekend at the Star Toyota dealership on Northern Blvd. Anyone have any experience with them before? I was going to bring it to either Rallye Lexus or Lexus of Rockville but they charge at least twice as much as Toyota and don't have any available appointments this weekend. I'll definitely post pics when they're on.

Not sure, but here are the specs of the wheel.

18"x8"
5x114.3
Offset +45

Do the math and figure it out.

It will fit the 99 GS400 fine. This is typical Lexus "aggressive" wheel spec. These were the specs of the front L-Tuned 18s, for when they wanted the GS to be "sportier".

they will fit fine
