Question Less exspensive alternative for OEM wheels

ISThree and I have been talking over PM about wheels on the 2010 ISF. It sounds like many people on this forum are not real crazy about new design. A few months ago Lobuxracer had found this site listed below for a reasonable alternative to the $6,124.75 price tag at Sewell online for a complete set of wheels.

ISThree and I were wondering if anyone has done business with this site and what the service and quality of the wheels were like.

Thanks,

I nd ISF

i emailed and called that company several times and several days later they responded by email that they had none in stock... they basically reconditioned damaged wheels

within that time period i bought a set of ISF rims and had them delivered from vipervern

Wow, If they're as good as what they say, they're one heck of a good deal.

I've subscribed to this thread.

Malujerry,

If that is the case that they are reconditioned that would make me VERY leery about purchasing any wheels from them.

I've had one rear wheel on my Supra repaired twice and the front on the same side repaired once. There's nothing wrong with a straightened wheel if the guy doing the work knows what he's doing.

I have not dealt with them, so I really can't say one way or another what their products or service are like. I'm sure at some point I'll know.

There are some chrome stockers on a black F at our dealership. I'll snap a pic next time I'm around but my thought was that it didn't look good on black. Maybe a different color car would have changed my opinion.

Not bad, but also not my cup of tea.

Stock gunmetal looks better on that blue isf. Gunmetal doesn't look as good on the white isf, which is the color of my lexus. So was thinking how these wheels look chrome.
