ordered Amistad type R
I just ordered these wheels from Clublexus vendor DXC of Creative Auto Network for my 05 SC430. I must admit I was a little hesitant at first. I had to wire him all the money up front because they are custom made to my specs 19x9 +28F, and 19x10 +27R. So far DXC has been great to deal with. I will keep you guys posted on my experience in case some are interested in making a purchase as well. My ETA should be around 4 weeks I guess. I am going with 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. Can anyone recomend a tire that will look good with the sc430 as well as perform good?

I got the silver polish like in the photo. There is also SBC which is black chrome. it is a great looking finish, but I think it looks better on darker cars my sc is also white.

No not really, Just a number the techs at Amistad came up with from there manual. I better go with their numbers just incase there is a fitment problem I'll have some recourse. Its only 3mm off of Mark's. I could always add a couple of mm of spacers if it is not far enough out. Better caution on the safe side Inside than outside!

I guess I was just a little excited and didn't consider the time it takes for the container to be shipped to the U.S

I received an email from DXC at Creative Auto Network last night. My wheels have finally left Japan and are on the ship. He tells me they should be in his hands by the end of the month.
A few days after I ordered the wheels in September I oredered a couple of sets of centre caps and the tire pressure sensor hardware from DXC also.
Anyone interested in these wheels should know that they are now compatible with the Lexus tire pressure system.
Oh here are the pictures of the centre caps. I ordered the silver/silver to match the polished wheels and the white/silver to match my sc430 since it is white!
