Hello
Great to hear you have ordered them, but sewell tells you that you will need extended lug nuts on the bottom of the picture. Also i have bought same rims that you are trying to sell in mint condition without TPMS sensors and no tires for $800 shipped. S&H alone was $220. So if you got good thread and sensors included not over $1K sounds fair. Without tires n sensors i would say 600-700. Based on my opinion i hope you get more ofcourse.

 

New rims look fragile and like a fireworks explosion. Too artsy. BTW, they first debuted on the IS-F last year. I guess Lexus is spreading out the costs now.

 

.

To confirm, the wheels are a 17" diameter size. The descriptions have been changed. http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2010-1940.html

why would you buy these when there are so many more option that look a whole lot better

 

Hmmmm, I guess we can all just forget about individual tastes?
Wow. Maybe some of us don't want bling, don't want to drag the exhaust on the ground and don't want to bust a wheel if you hit a curb???? Maybe have a little meat on the road????

 

These rims definitely look a lot better in person; I don't think the pictures do them proper justice. I'm the proud owner of some newly installed F-sport shoes + the F-sport intake.

Net outlay for everything - rims, intake, tires, installation, tax, coupons
$4096.33

Breakdown:
Both intake and rims from Sewell - I used the clublexus discount with the current FSPORT coupon promotion:

Intake: $283.40

Rims: $1739.64

Subtotal = 2023.04
Fsport coupon = (-300)
Tax = 172.12
Shipping = 63.25

Grand total paid Sewell = 1958.41


Went to a local dealership in Houston for installation - pm me for the name, and I'll set you up with who you need to ---- they were incredibly easy to work with.

Tires, transfer of TPMS sensors, wheel mount/balance, and wheel install kit + tax = 2048.04

F-sport install + tax = 129.88

Total paid to dealer: 2177.92

Total with tax = 4136.33
1% rebate on my cc = app $40


I'm considering the above figure my net. I'm probably going to keep the 17s. They may come in handy.

Some notes: I think sales tax is slightly higher here in Texas when compared to most places. Also - I could saved another $100 if I had realized that the wheel installation kit was sold separately from the rims on Sewell's site and ordered initially from them...but, I was already at the dealership, the trip to the dealership itself takes app. 45 min with traffic, and time = $. So I just paid the dealership, but hopefully someone learns from my mistake.

Also - I wanted to install the intake myself, figured it would be fun to learn, but because of the warranty and the equation above, I decided to have them do it all.

Anyways, hope it helps. Pics tomorrow - had too much to do after picking up the car, and the sun had already set. You guys keep the bar pretty high on the quality of pics, and I don't want to put up crap!

 

Congratulations keep us posted, can't wait to see the pics.

 

I think these F-Sport wheels look stunning. The F-Sport Forged wheels are top quality and they look very modern.

I hate most aftermarket wheels because they have a lip and/or rivets which are both very old school design traits. Why some people age their cars with wheels that could have been designed in the 80s or 90s just astonishes me. Of course there are also some modern looking aftermarket options 2 like the latest Vossen CV1 and CV2 designs, and the MRR HR2. But these new F-Sport wheels are certainly among the best designs I've seen.

 

Congrats, can't wait to see pics!

 

Hey kingtx what tire size will you be running for the front and rear? Are the rear wheels the 19x8 or the 19x9?

 

Sorry for the subpar lighting - been super busy, getting to work as the sun rises and leaving after the sun sets. As soon as things slow down, I'll try to get a much better set of pics.

Anyways - I'm using the 19 x 8's all around, since the car is AWD. The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 - 225/40R-19.

Let me make this easy for you purists out there - Yes, I'm aware it sits high for some of you, but I really like the way it looks. Also - it's AWD. If they come out with a coil that consistently lowers without vibrations/wobble, I'll think about it, but I'm perfectly happy with this.

I also threw in a pic of the old wheels sitting in my kitchen. They haven't moved since I brought them home, a testament to how often I use the stove/oven lol.

Not pictured: F-sport intake. I was really keen on trying to feel a difference in power, so I tried to pay real close attention before and after install, and I do notice a little more pep...the weather has also cooled down about 10 degrees on average over the past week, and that could be a contributor as well Don't really notice any increased engine noise; but I've yet to really open up the throttle since install.


20% tints in the front, 5% all around the back.

I'm done...for now...well, maybe an exaust in the next couple of weeks...and a body kit after that

 

I think someone mentioned wanting to see them in person - feel free to pm me. I'm also hoping to attend "Cars and Coffee" for November, work schedule permitting.

 

My favorite new OEM rim!!! Looks great

did you take any pics when there was more light out?

 

Love it. Nice subdued and CLASSY. If you drop your car it would look fantastic.

Thanks for the pics, great job you are the first!

 

Looks very good. The gunmetal finish looks great on your car. Like 1SickLex said, a drop would make it look better. Maybe F-Sport springs?
