Theres a disturbing amount of people patting each other's back for buying crappily made wheels. What happend to "hey, you own a lexus after all!" and putting generic cheap parts on it? I've had first had experience with them and they're just junk. They look nice, but in the end, its a polished turd; shiny on the outside, crap on the inside.
Im not trying to dissuade or put people down for buying them, but I won't ever recommend them either. Its just bad investment since they will eventually warp and bend over time, then you have to buy a new set or repair it which will total up to the amount you'd pay for used set of decent wheels. I've daily driven my volks throughout san francisco's craptastic streets, never experiencing warping while my friend's ce knock offs wont even balance right anymore
end rant
Looks pretty dope tho, I love the way those TE37s look on MKIVs and SCs. Avoid potholes like aids and keep them clean! Once the clear coat oxidizes, its a b***h to clean them

Lexus or not, you are still driving a $5000-$10000 car. Putting a $2500-$3000 set of wheels on it just doesn't seem right to me.
Also arent some of these top rims also have problems, HREs etc have also had the breaking/rusting/separating wheels. Low profile tires, avoid potholes
