Default does anybody know about these wheels

I may get some if the quality is good. Would I be better off getting used oem wheels, or are these better. I have an 05 with the factory wheels like this, but I want to have another set for my snow tires

Are you going to run 18" snows? I prefer to run 17" with a bit more sidewall. The 01 painted 17" LS wheels aren't as attractive as the 5-spokers, but they are only on for a few months.

Those wheels are the same finish as the ones from OE Wheels. They are much shinier than oem 18'. The quality is good and weighs the same as oem. I'd buy them again if I can get into another Ls430

caddyowner. your so right, 17s would be better, but I already bought 18 inch blizzaks when i bought the car, so I hate to waist them.

Thanks you guys

I saw a set of these for sale on craigslist recently, they look pretty decent for replicas. Pricing is fair as well.

Those wheels are too nice to be used as winter rims !! Sell the Blizzaks and get all season 235/50/18

I had those replica rims. Good quality. However, I would use 17" rims for snow tires.
