I have also considered this purchase especially since I have "tires for life" through my dealership and I'm craving for that custom wheel look.

But I'm going to hold off on any wheel upgrades until the '09s are released since it's been confirmed that there will be new 18" rims.

Nope. They should hold up like any other Lexus OEM rim. I plan on selling my original Lexus rims once I get my g-spiders on. Mine should be coming anyday now via FedEx from Sewell.

Got mine from Sewell for $920 total (price includes promo code and shipping).

Funny you mention a new TV. I was debating on getting a new flat screen for my bedroom and holding off on wheels. Then I decided to get the g-spiders and sell my old wheels and old bedroom tv to apply for a nice down payment on a new flat screen.
