I think I'm missing the part where we have a pretty good high dollar luxury car thats fast but you want to put a low dollar hyundai rims on it. Be it that it looks cool but the principal of the idea of putting hyundai parts on a more expensive nicer car like a lexus escapes my thought process. But it does look cool, not taking that away but it's still a hyundai, just sayin.

This is the worst mentality you can have (not just you, but a few in this thread). So what if it's a Hyundai? Does it look sick? Yes, and thats what counts. Would you wear an ugly lime green and pink track jacket just because it has armani tags all over it? I hope not... and if you would then dont be surprised when people laugh at you for being a try hard.

Bro, you didn't see I said it looks cool I guess. I just said that I couldn't get it pass the " PRINCIPAL thought of having a luxury car and using a lower model/maker for parts.

You don't see people coming in bashing the folks that come in the threads talking down on folks for having reps instead of rocking authentic do you? I just mentioned that I couldn't get past that idea.

I did say it does look cool, LOL I had a feeling someone was gonna get bent out of shape with me saying that.

I didn't mean to insult, i just meant to say that everyone should have an open mind to things as long as its not an inferior product, and not just justify things on price tags and labels.

hmmm you do realize you drive a Toyota right?

you do also know most car manufacturers are not wheel manufacturers, same wheel company could have made the oem wheels for 2, 3 or whatever other car manufacturers...

don't let marketing get the best of you lol

Bro, a lot of people here put cheap wheels on their car all the time. MRR, Five Axis, Enkie.
Not everybody can afford Works or Volks. And the IS line is not that expensive.

hyundai might be a much cheaper brand than lexus, but these are OEM hyundai rims. Most OEM rims are of very high quality for one important reason: if they fail, they will kill the driver and the company will be left with a huge lawsuit.

Therefore im pretty sure these rims will be very strong, along with already looking very nice, makes for a pretty decent wheel choice. the only downside is for brand ***** people who dont want "hyundai" products
