Finally picked these up and have the tires and lugnuts too. Only hurdle left is the TPMS - can someone confirm that they can indeed be transferred and reprogrammed from OEM rims?

 

Congrats svelt!! When I had mine installed, I didn't have any problem with the tpms thing, I don't think you would either. Let us see some pix after you have them on.

 

I was looking at this set. Definitely my favorite OEM wheel next to ISP or G-Spider. IIRC, the TPMS transfers. I'd ask JeffLange if they transfer to be sure. That guys got all the answers haha

 

Here you go - sorry just managed to snap blurry phone pics. I've got the convertible but it does share the same front end appearance as the sedan, while I find the wheel's aggressive appearance balances out the portly rear of this design.
















TPMS transferred on fine, thanks. I'm running in Michelin A/S 3s. Wheels look great and tires perform excellently for an all season.

 

Nice Svelt! I went on the cheap side with the Hancook Ventus V12 Evo2 tires instead. Maybe some day I'll switch to the Michelin too.

 

Not the cheap route at all considering you already spent a fortune on the wheels, but I wanted an all season tire that could (reportedly) rival an average summer and also carry me through a snow-less winter. Hankook makes good tires, I used to run them on my first-gen

 

does anyone know who makes the full faced forged wheels? Sure it's a Lexus product, but hopefully someone like BBS makes them. I'm curious about quality. I have actually seen forged wheels bend because they were so light. I'd like to buy some of these but with Indiana roads I am a bit concerned for toughness.

 

Put them on the scale and see how much they weigh. They don't look light weight to me.

 

Those rims are absolutely beautiful. Its a shame they're so expensive.

 

I am going to buy 4 of the 19x9 rears. I have the sport suspension and may not lower it. Can I get away with running 255/35/19 square?

 

Assuming you have AWD because you bought 4 rear rims, how did this work out for you? Any problems with the AWD system?

 

 

 

Got mine installed 3 days ago. 19×9 (rears) all around.
Color of my car is Starfire Pearl. Haven't seen these in that color online so pics coming soon.

Got a brand new set with the install kit for $1038.

Then threw some Pirelli P Zeros on (235/35/19 XL 91Y)

Tires and installation was another $1024

EXTREMELY happy. No issues. EVERYBODY loved them. Best purchase I've made in a while, no rubbing, I got a good deal on them too considering I got em for $225 each. Negotiated with someone.

F Sport Lowering Springs on the way too. I'll post pics asap
