Looks great! They look bigger than 19" though. They look more like 20" on that photo. Anyway, these wheels are made by Enkei, I guess.

Thank you all for the comments.

just make sure you get the correct tire sizes to come as close as you can to stock overall diameter, shouldnt be too hard

I don't know what the heck this growing trend is but it needs to STOP, IMO. You don't see BMW owners putting Benz wheels on. You don't see Lincoln owners putting Caddy wheels on.

Then some folks are not even switching center caps.

I need a beer.

When I had my '07 Camry XLE,I was on a Camry forum and there was a guy who put a Lexus emblems where the Toyota emblems were on the grill and trunk and they fit perfectly.
I thought it was silly but at least he stayed with the same company.

This wouldn't be an issue if Lexus would just get better wheels. The g-spiders are the only Lexus wheels that I like.....

I feel the same way and I'm not really crazy about them.

I think that would look awesome. I think the 350Z wheels would look good too, though I think the G37 wheels would look better. Someone do it!

if you get on ebay there are 2 people selling them and one is asking "or" the bid is at like 2200$ i do like them but at that point why not get aftermartket. but IMO i do have to agree, sure i will get slack, they look perfect on the car and better IMO then the 18" staggered i have with sport tires? if i could find a good deal on them i would do it and change the center cap in a heart beat.

why put your Lexanity up for debate by stepping down to G wheels?

aftermarket before hand-me-downs.

Does Rays still make these wheels as they did for the previous G35 Sport Package 19s? If that is the case, the could be a decent priced alternative - assuming they can be found for a reasonable price. Give it time and Im sure there will be a bunch for sale.

Nevermind, I just looked at the other pic and see they are made by Enkei.
