Default Last chance for GS Spiders

Sewell Lexus will be selling wheels at a discount to club members till the end of the month of march. I love the aftermarket look but I intend to stay oem with theGS spiders. Bent barrels and tires are hard to replace on trips and even harder to find in the middle of nowhere. Carrying one of those stupid expensive donuts is a waste of time not to mention running them for any distance on your car is foolhardy, and could affect your rear gearing with different size tires. I bought 5 spiders, the bottom of the back seat is coming out and the spare will fit there nicely, if I decide to put the top down on a long journey I can. I bought one of those folding bikes a couple of years back, guess what that spare fits in the bag it came in very nicely and having a real spare is very comforting. Runflats,mini spares still leave you with the problem of interupting your journey because they must be replaced sooner than later.Get a real spare and have peice of mind, those little rims and tires are way to expensive for what they are and were never meant to be driven on for any distance.BTW 5 GS spiders brand new from sewell lexus 1000.00 with caps, better deal than lexus parts mall, they sell theres without the caps for 199.00 each, 18.95 per center cap, almost 100 bucks savings.

Thanks Wheel Dr, I've been looking at wheels for my SC and your idea is great. It's just what I was looking for, only looking at after market. Thanks playa3uhh for the pics. I'll have to get in to touch with Sewell's tomorrow.

Don't forget the Tourmalines also. Like the G-Spiders, they are an approved Lexus wheel. They are the same price as the G-Spiders.

And don't forget to use the special code to get the great price. The code is "blast" and you get the wheels for $783.56. That's a GREAT price.

Both the G-Spiders and Tourmalines are on the Pebble Beach editions, but of course, they will fit on any SC 430. Here's a pic of the Tourmalines on the 2009 Pebble Beach edition that I recently opted for.

Default G spiders

In my opinion the G's look WAY Better.

I know how you feel. I couldn't decide on the G-Spiders or Tourmalines. They both look great. The good thing is you can't go wrong with either one, and you would be happy with either one.

I love the Spiders, and they caught my eye when I saw them on a white SC 430. But when I saw the Tourmalines, for some reason, I just decided they would look best on my black SC. So I opted for them.

Here's a couple of sites that show both wheels at their best. Good luck.
