Hi guys,

Yes, the whole set means 4 wheels
It's 28000 TWD = 860 USD.......
It's pretty nice price in Taiwan.
I just wondering those wheels can be compatible with TPS, or not?
If it can, I will purchase those wheels for my 2nd IS......

Thanks for all the good words. To answer the questions - I purchased them on eBay for 1699 shipped and yes, you can use the tire pressure sensors with them. The tint is the Formula 1 ceramic 35%.

Really? How can you order them from there? They have a phone number? Do they ship to the US? Quite the difference in price.

Yep, the guy at the tire shop broke the bead on the oem tires, used the mounting machine to push the side wall down and reached in and grabbed the monitor. Just so everyone knows, the monitor has a threaded straight valve stem attached to it and is secured to the outside of the wheel with a "stem nut". Thats why wheels that have the angled valve stems are not monitor compatible. Until the tire guy pulled one out, I had no idea what the things looked like...

Yeah I have heard the daisy comments, but I am secure in my manhood. I just got tired of seeing the same wheel in a slightly different finish or spoke width on every car (5 spokes with a huge lip and rivets). I am not bagging on those wheels if they are your taste, but I saw these wheels in a thread a while ago and I was hooked. As for the BMW similarity, I see it too. I really love the concave look of the 6 & 7 series wheels.

Too much Bling for me. Those look like they need to go a Chrysler 300 with 22's.

IS350Phil's rims are pretty sweet though. I noticed the BMW flavor. They also look like something from a Metallica or other hard rock CD cover. You should have that design tattooed on your Delts.

Very Very nice. Those rims really compliment the IS well. They reminded me of BMW wheels too. Once again, very nice.

what gaps? dude, the wheels look perfect. the only thing i would have done differently is gone with a silver reflective tint to complement the tungsten pearl, but the car still looks great.

save your future $$ and time on keeping it clean and looking good. maybe a clear bra.

attention wh*re!
