sent you a message. I am in CT and would love to sell you my 19" LS seven spokes in about two weeks when my next set comes in. Let me know.

If you can get Cheers's wheels for less than $1100 (the Sewell price), you can purchase OEM rubber for about $150 /tire (from TireRack.com) .. you will have yourself quite the deal for a good looking set of wheels / rubber (IMHO).

Id say do te lexus wheels if you want to stay with 19's. You cant beat the smooth ride and no need for hub rings. even if they are custom for the car they will not ride as smooth as a lexus wheel I dont care what anyone claims

Cheers. Are your wheels in perfect condition? Like anyone, I'm a stickler for any curb rash. If you'd like, we could move this to direct messages.

It's worth mentioning that ebay has genuine lexus 19" 5 spoke touring wheels for 699 set with free shipping and brand new (no centercaps though). Full toyota tagged and all. Hmmm.

That's a steal! I was told when shopping for my LS that the SWB LS could not accommodate the touring 19's. I'm not sure if this is true but should probably be checked.

Default They are sized the same

Both the touring and the telios wheels are 19 x 8. I can't see what else could be different to preclude us swb guys from them...

mine are perfect condition and would beat that price. We could meet up and you could inspect prior to purchase. One issue is that I need two weeks since my new wheels are not in yet.

If you want them with the rubber and TPMS then we could talk too on that but price would go up. They have Conti Sport Contact 2's that have some tread life left.

I'd get new rubber and use my existing tpms. Please take a few photos of them and send to me at mderins@comcast.net.

My phone is 215.840.1857

Definitely not true, the president of the car dealership group who owns 2 Lexus dealers here put the 19" Touring wheels on a SWB LS460 which he had driven for months last year.
They kept the 19" Touring wheels on the car when he finally decided to put the car for sale in the dealership too.

Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology. I'm interested in the 19's that I8ABMR has...

Those are the 19" 7-spoke 600hL wheels, I think they are pretty nice for Lexus OEM wheels
