Does anyone know, or can anyone weigh these when you get them in? The vendor can only give me shipping weight of 28lbs... I'm trying to get light wheels in my next set... thx! Stock shows 27.25 lbs... assume these are the same????

I bought 4 chome wheels for my 2004 LS430 off of Ebay and they still look good. Granted the car only has 70k miles and is garaged. Ebay has some good deals on Lexus chrome wheels and center caps.

I have their replica 17" rims on my UCF10 (91LS) and replica 18" rims on my UCF30 (05 LS430)... I just ordered and received another set of their 18" for my 05 LS to mount my winter tires on. The two sets I've had for a while now are holding up perfectly fine. There's absolutely nothing wrong with using their rims...

Does anyone feel any difference in ride quality from swapping from the 18” OEM wheels to the replica. I have a black LS 430 w/ 18” chrome but they are peeling. I really like the look of the 18” hyperblack but want to make certain the ride comfort remains the same.

Unless the replica wheels are substantially heavier than OEM, which I seriously doubt, there should be no change in ride quality. Heck, I have a hard time noticing the change from my stock 17s to the aftermarket 19s. These cars are seriously cushy, and I'm on Tanabe lowering springs.

I am going to order a set tomorrow. I have had balancing issues in the past with aftermarket wheels even after doing road force balancing. So just want to make certain they are as close to oem as possible. Can’t stand vibrations.

If anyone is interested I took some pix of the wheels today. They just came in and one of the damn boxes was beat up so hopefully wheel isn't damaged. "I couldn't see any damage"
anyways here is the little gallery -
getting them installed Monday argg
