Just found out today that my GS430 is totaled. I have a very clean set of 18" IS350 split spokes with good tires. Fronts have maybe 5k miles on them and rears not too much more. I think the tires are Dunlops - rear are the standard IS350 size, front are 20 mm wider to account for the larger GS. The car is at a body shop in Sterling, past Dulles Airport, kinda behind CarMax. Insurance adjuster said I can swap wheels as long as whats on there are alloy. Anyone local interested in going there and putting your 16"/17" alloy wheels and tires on my crunched GS? I think $300 would be a very cheap upgrade. Car will be there til next Thursday, shame to see these go to the wrecking yard.

PS - I also have another bare set that has some road rash - good for winter set up.

Interested in your wheels ...

How wide are they ? 7.5" 8" 8.5"

Brand/size tires you have one them ?

does the adjuster care if you put a mis matched set of alloys on the car with worn tires on it ?

Thanks,

Dave

any other parts you want to part out?

These are the factory staggered, 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear. Rear tires are 255/40, I upsized in the front and IIRC 235/40. Dunlop Sport something?? They are high performance tires, but not ultra high performance per Tirerack. Not all season either. The car is at the shop which is about 30 min from me, so I can't easily check.

As far as mismatched and bald, I dont think that will work, needs to be closer to what is on there. The adjuster is a good guy, but I dont want to push it with him. Sorry if that wont for you and thanks for the interest.

sorry to hear about your ride. i have your twin and would love to swap out but paying shipping for 2 sets of wheels would be expensive. you shld look into getting some cheap tires on craigslist for your other set and swap it out.

wish I was local.

I'm interested. Don't know where you are but I am in Richmond and looking for some for winter setup. Thanks.

I am in Northern VA and the car is very close to Dulles airport. If you are interested in the bare rims, let me know as they are in my shed at home and going nowhere. If you want the ones on the car, it will only be there til Thursday, but I don't think these tires would be a good option for a winter set-up - they are summer tires and damn scary in anything beyond a dusting. If you want to swap the tires, then that would work. Let me know if you need anymore details. The wheels/tires will need to be swapped at the body shop which is open from 9-6 each day.

Would you be willing to sell me all the 8.5" wheels (two bare and two on the car) ? I'll get some used tires to put on the bare 8" wheels to get them on your wrecker.

I work very close to the intersection of 28/Waxpool.
