Default WTB: 4 OEM 18x8s

I'm getting a 250 AWD and I want to switch out the 17s for the OEM 18s, but I obviously can't take a set from another 350 cuz of the staggered setup and AWD. So i'm looking for 4 OEM 18x8 rims, anybody have some they want to sell? Doesn't matter if they have curb rash or anything, i'm gonna PC them anyway.

Definitely. You gotta give me a little time tho after I get it so I can do a few minor things to it.

I think I might have seen you a few weeks back on Rt. 2 near Stop and Shop. Do you have your front grille colormatched?

People say it's alright for staggered wheels to be on the AWD.

I have staggered wheels...20x9 and 20x10 on my awd/4wd jeep. I dont see the problem with 8.0-8.5 stagger.

no i don't......but it could have looked like it because my car is very dirty haha.

hopefully you can pick me out because of the exhaust and my taillights have the red outs....i do want to get it tinted hopefully soon.

i'm pretty sure you could run the 18x8.5's all around, i know someone test fitted them before. thats what i've been looking to do....but work has been slow hopefully it'll pick up more for more modds.

Found these on ebay, should I just go ahead and purchase these? You think they're legit?

You might want to send him an e-mail just to verify they are in fact all 18*8. He has a pretty good rating 99.4% (2187)

Check out Lexus-parts.com, you can order the same size ie. 18x8 from them (our sponsor vendor). Or you can see if someone is selling them from a AWD GS. I recently purchased a set of Machined Tourmaline's.

I checked Lexus-parts.com, and they only sell them as a stagard set. I am hesitant to buy the ones from ebay as they are knock offs. Nothing guaranteeing the quality.

Check again, they sell individual rims too, so for example you can put in qty 4 for the G-Spiders in size 18x8 or 18x8.5. You do not have to order 2 of each or order a set of staggered sizes. I did notice some rims they sell as a set (staggered), so look around on the website, they do sell them separately. If you are still having problems, you can always contact sewell lexus directly thru CL (member name "Lexus-Parts"). Also check out the Vendor Marketplace they often post deals on various parts.

I'm still not sure what i'm gonna do yet. I emailed the guy from ebay and he said the rims are exact factory replicas and they are all 18x8, plus they come with Lexus centercaps. If I end up getting those then i'm gonna powdercoat them gloss black.

I'm also thinking about getting TSW Nogaros in 19x8.
