although if the "non-Lexus" wheels cause damage, I imagine the Lexus warranty will not cover that damage.

I saw them this morning on an IS350c while I waited to have my battery replaced. I like the way they look but for the money you can get a much nicer wheel


sidenote

I also have to say 60k for an ISc with the F sport goodies is a joke. I would go get a CTSV or a real sports car for 60k

AGREE !!!

I have been driving the IS350C as loaner for almost two weeks, due to the creaking noise in the dashboard. It has been fun, but I would not waste that kind of $$$ on it though...

Lucky. They most of the time give me an IS250... Once in awhile I get an RX or ES...

Don't really like the new ones, I prefer the old IS-F rims they better when on the GS, Just my opinion.

the original ISF rims look good on the GS.

it belonged to someone in NY, had a bbk, and maybe spacers.

This wheel is just gorgeous. Its the best aftermarket wheel I have seen on a 3GS. I disagree that it looks busy - far less busy than most of the third party products (with exception of simple mono blocks like the MRR HR2).

With the current F-sport promotion + Sewellparts Clublexus discount, the price turns out to be pretty damn good.

I may just have to pick up an exhaust too...
When you factor in value recovery from your old set and price of new ones with tires, what is net outlay?

What's a fair price to ask with tires? I have the 17's, which I'll link below. The wheels and tires have seen 1400 miles of use, with conservative driving.

http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2010-1940.html

It's labelled as 18 inch, but the description talks about 17 inch rims. Anyways, I was thinking of asking for $2k? What do you veterans think?

The rims look even better than I thought! But no pics yet - made a rookie mistake, not realizing that the lugnuts weren't included Parts ordered, installation Tuesday, pics as soon as they are installed.

Regarding the warranty - if Lexus installs any F-sport accessories, the bumper-bumper extends to include those parts. Otherwise, it's a 12 month warranty. Also, if there is some problem in the installation resulting in damage to the car, then Lexus will be responsible...I would prefer to have Lexus take responsibility rather than some random shop.
