i canceled your bid as requested.

I can tell you this, the 16s were a way smoother ride.

Really? Are you running the 18's at the max psi or the lexus recommended psi?

Another question I wanted to ask was how braking was. IIRC, the 18" spec Lexus had different rotors & calipers. Have you noticed?

sweet- what are these going to run? the 18s?
Has anyone seen the new full size.. nissian, maybe it was infiniti, but I am pretty sure it was a nissian with factory 18s, reason I ask, I like the tire size on it. What size tire are you 18" guys running? And would there be a deal on the tires also?

OK. Resurecting this thread. What happened 1Loud.Any good deals coming in? Coltswitch, post some pictures. I dont know how longer my chromes can outlast the winter and salt here in Michigan, but I do know they'll be in need of new tires soon. I was looking at a company called OEMRIMS-COMPANY. Anyone have luck with them?

You guys could consider '07 and up Tundra wheels and/or '08 Sequoia wheel too. There are 18" and 20" variations with several different styles and they all look fantastic except the TRD wheel, while still looking like a factory installed wheel (since they are). A little modification would need to be made so your hubcaps will fit, but it's cake. Here's a picture of my Land Cruiser with '07 Tundra Limited 20"s.

The 16' are smoother and more comfortable ride indeed. And these actually usable off-road.

The 18' give less body roll, and the ride is firmer and more controlled. Off-roading is a concern.

im liking those tundra wheels, but for some reason, I HAVE TO HAVE THOSE 06-07 CHROME 5 SPOKE RIMS, they just looks so clean, and i know that you guys don't like chrome, but really, there is no better feeling then after washing your car, then seeing your car and rims just so clean, so if this deal never went through, do you guys want to try agian?
