Default 2008 IS Wheels

I love the new color of the new wheels. Does anyone think that it will be possible to go to the dealer to trade in your old ones for the new ones for a better deal? If not are they going to be available for order? PM me if anyone doesnt like it and wants to trade for some strange reason. Let me know.

Thanks.

I doubt a dealer would do that.

Just wait patiently for them to be available on ebay.

check fleabay later....the dealer will probably sell it to you for a ridiculous price since they aren't optional wheels like the isp, g-spider, etc.

If anyone is interested, I've got an '08 IS250 that's arriving to Sewell in Ft. Worth, TX on Tuesday or Wednesday. I upgraded to the chrome wheels that they'll be putting on once the car is there, so I know they'll have my original stock's there. Send me a PM or an email if your interested and I can put you in touch with my sales guy.

^^ That's a shame... Such a great looking finish!!

The wheels they take off your brand new 2008 will be sent to the chromer as the core return...

its just "how it works"....

Their "suggested" price was $1599 - I got them for $1,299, but they had a customer a couple days before I signed that changed their mind on adding the chromes which were '08 cores that were chromed for their IS350. So long story short, they (the dealership) will have my stock '08's when I leave because there is a set of '08 chromed ones waiting for my car the IS350 peeps didn't want! Plus I saved $300 buck's! Now what they're going to do with them????? So the reason why I posted is because if you "cut them off at the pass" sort of thing and wanted the stock '08's that they're pulling off my car when it comes in on Tuesday 25th or Wednesday 26th, you could make a deal with the dealership to get them. So, with that said, let me know and I can put you in touch with the sales guy.

Just wait for someone to sell theirs in our Classifieds. Someone is bound to buy aftermarket wheels to replace them...

I have to say I agree PhilipMSPT. The dealers get us for enough as it is! Just trying to help lookout.
