Hey Guys,
i Need a help buying rims for my rx300.
I know I want 17's chrome but I cant seem to decide on rims
Any suggestions?

I want something like these FooSE but they stopped making these so IF any one has any ideas or has pics of any rims or RX truck w/ 17's or 18's post them. Thanks

how about these alstadt's

GS4Will

if i had a RX, i would consider this rim for sure:

www.crimson-inc.co.jp/limix/harrier.html

designed and made espcially for your RX/aka Harrier in japan, ..only 18s though...if you get these, most likely the only set in the US:eek:

WHAT about these... Anyone know if their a good company, I never heard of them but I like .
company: KAIZER
model: KX7
Think theyll look nice on a RX?

mumbles

Those are knock off's of the LD1's, and as such are probably not too good in the quality dept. Go for the real things...

CAmsRX3

Yea I wish I could afford the real ones..

If i see theses kaizers in person what would I look for to see if they are good quality? or should I just find some other rims.

mumbles

Well, alot of quality issues can't be determined just by looking at the wheel, they become evident over time. Example, while the chrome may look solid, what's underneath? The first time you mount the wheels, you are going to nick up the chrome in the lug holes. The quality will show after a couple of washes when rust starts seeping out of those lug holes. This is just an example, I'm in no way saying that Kaizer is a bad wheel. I think the bottom line answer you get from this forum is... "dude, you own a Lexus, don't put cheap wheels on it"

manaray, Globe, gs4will.... how did I do?

CAmsRX3

thanks mumbles,
I guess I should keep shopping.. but , do u think $1300 is really that cheap for 17"s? Well im gonna try and find out more about the company but I guess I should really take your advice and spend some more..

mumbles

Check out these Mahdi Caesar BW-1's at Hiros site, they're are pretty close to the LD-1's, and much more affordable.

[EDIT] PLEASE, no link to that site. Just post the photo instead...thanks!

That wheel looks a lot like the Lowenhart BR5. Lowenhart doesn't make a wheel in 17" though.

Manaray

Mumbles, you make me proud!

$1300 for 17" wheels? Yes, that is CHEAP...however, there are many decent wheels in that price range. RH Evolution and some other good quality 1-piece wheels can be had for that price.

However, don't buy a knock-off. That's just plain cheezy. If you can't afford a $300 Coach wallet, just buy a $90 Tumi one. It's that simple. It's cheezy to buy a $20 Coach-look-a-like wallet.

Kaizer's are cheap garbage...I like GS4Will's suggestion...

CAmsRX3

I must have been fu@%* up when i put up this post... Sorry guys


I am goin for AT LEAST 18"s and Definetly not getting those KAIZERS.. I gotta spend more money- dont wanna offend my baby by putting some cheap rims on her.. Thanks guys


GS4WILL how much u think itll be for shipping??

GS4Will

manaray,

that is why i go to outlet sometimes for quality bargains...or, get my "hook up" prices on the real salva ferragamos..

CAm,

you got PM

Manaray

Yeah, getting a good deal on the real deal is always nice!

I hate paying retail for anything! But I'd rather pay retail for the real deal than try to save a few bucks buying some wannabes...

GS,

PM??
