no sometimes I am a dumbass. those are st 3's and believe me they look great in person. they look almost EXACTLY like the 18s lexus sells. they dont have the center groove pattern and the lexus cap will not fit though. got a parts guy looking for one that does now after spending a half hour at the dealer today. very surprised that they look so similar since it wasnt my intent.

they look nice. I like them more then ST2s, although those are deepdish. I think these are a better match for our cars. As long as you are happy with what you got. Hey I ordered 2 things today: a set of 245/45/18 contiextremecontact and OEM 18s for my LS. Tires should be in shortly after 10/06/04 and the rims about the same time. I'll let you know. The rims are like double of what you paid, but I like them. I think they look very elegant. Later on if I want staggered, i'll go for it, but not at this time. I'll let you know how this works out... I think seing those OEM 18s on the picture doesn't do 'em justice. They look better live.

trust me the oems are nice just not worth the price. I dont know what you paid but I got quoted 400 per rims non chrome from a lexus place online because I buy my parts from them and thus got a big discount. again I did not expect the st 3s to look so similar in person. also the newest tire rack ads in magazines feature this rim as well as the st 2. the st2 is just like the old maxxim vip and I decided I just didnt want that look on my car. its too stodgy and old benz like. now if sears can ever get the tires in stock I will get them fitted after I get back from vegas and I will then submit more pics. hope you enjoy your setup and post pics soon.

my stuff will arrive in few days. I like the originals rims. To me they are worth it because in my experience the OEM rims are the most reliable. I'll try to post some pics after I am all set and the wheels are on my car.
