That's pretty much what most of us here spent on our Lexuses (about 5-10% of the total cost of the car in wheels).
Anyway, I did some minor calculation, the 19s in chrome would be $4600 before shipping charges and import duty. I doubt it'd be $7000 even after all that. Still quite attainable for some of the sick bastards here.....

Wald is nice, but for our cars we would only get about a half to one inch lip at most which is not worth the high price tag. Wald is pretty much up there in pricing with Junction Produce. They go pretty much one and two as the top two brands in VIPstyling in Japan.

That's all on the lip?! WOW. I know there is a high and low disk offset for these. I have a 98 SC300 that i wanted to put this on. I know i can go 19x10 in the rear. I honestly want 19x11 and as much negative offset (read massive lip) i can muster.
I saw the Wald 350z that has serious lip in the rear as well but i do know those are 19x12 or 19x13 if i am not mistaken.
Hmmmm I know CCW has a new wheel out as well.

350Z & G35C have offset in low 20s', therefore normally they can have about 1+ inch more than GS, LS, SC300/400 (not the SC430 though.) I've seen many Lexus with WALD wheels (not widebody) and the lip is abput 1 or 1 1/2 in the front & at most 2 in the rear.

oh and of course, those are hre
You guys....i love HRE but it's seriously out of my budget. I could get them but well...i would have to find a deal. I use to sell wheels, so paying full price to me is a huge no no.

well....
If i bought from iForged i would not be able to sleep at night.
There have been too many issues with them on getting wheels to their customers. I think i am going to go CCW. They have a new wheel out. So......I think CCW it will be.
It would have to be a hellified price for me to go iForged. Risk is too great, for me as a consumer, to put my money out there with them and their delivery record is to shakey.

$4600=>$7000 some overhead costs to save your trouble dealing with Japan (they never return e-mails and phone calls anyway)
