Are L-sportline just as good as Dub or others? What's the advantage of a multi-piece wheel over a single piece?

Thanks!

those rims need to be repaired and refinished... should run you a couple hundred but theyll look brand NEW... i say go for it as long as they are the right offset

Pocky: that's what I'm saying!?!? weird...

Aclarke: where can i take rims to get refinished? How can you tell from those pics? It looks like they are just ****ty photographs...?

I think the size is easily worth the money. I emailed the seller and he said there are no chips or peeling except for one spot where the front tire was curbed a little.

Thanks for the quick replies!

Yup, the wheels looked great. Too bad they're not around any more.

Doe's any one know who made L-Sportline? I know they were Dazz exclusives, but do they have a JDM counterpart? Kind of like JDM Traffic Star = US Mayas.

No clue, I tried searching using teh powerful google..but came up with...nothing.....

These rims however, is a bit too conservative for the 2IS. As in width wise.

Exclamation

The rims are str8t, but if you have a IS350 the rims are not going 2 clear the front calipers, but if you have a 250,, you should be str8t, but I would ask someone who knows there stuff when it comes 2 wheels....... But im gonna give you my honest oponion, our cars have the capacity 2 put a 4in lip on it, why not use it 2 its full potential. I owned an IS300 & the only thing I really wanted after I did my car up was more inches on the lip of my rims, I had a 3ps wheel with a lip, feel me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So good luck with your rim search.........
