I would have to say that those wheels are "not of the highest quality". I would stay away from them, personally. Let Dennis set up some Work or Advan wheels from Japan, or some HREs. That's what I would do if I were you.

Personaly,
I love those, I 'm mad about them. Just can nto justify spending more than $1500.00 on wheels. Can you suggest similar stile chrome for less money?
I guess I'll have to save money for those some day, mortgage can not wait

Love those

the pic of the black gs has altstadt wheels, looks like 18 inch. you could likely pick up a set of these in 18s for close to your target price. in fact, for 17 inchers, i would think no problem

...but get 18s at least if you're gonna spend money on aftermarket wheels

btw, the wheel gurus in this forum would agree that altstadts are much higher quality than zenettis, especially for the money

(the ssr agle strusse is probably the highest quality wheel that looks almost exactly like that -- but is probably price prohibitive)

OH SHIET... just saw this post that dammit -- questions answered... https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=44850

I'm with Lee...personally, I wouldn't put those cr@ppy/cheezy wheels (it's not the design..well, on the last one it is, but it's more the manufacturer) on a Lexus...just save up and buy some good ones...also, there are many good JDM wheels that you can get (expecially in smaller sizes like 18" and 17") for around the same price or just a little more (if you find the right importer). You can also save money by skipping the chrome...

The Altstadts are nice though...and they're real mutli-piece wheels...not like the Zenetti and other garbage that's a FAKE multi-piece wheel (looks like a 2/3-piece but it's actually not...why fake the funk...I don't get it...)

Drew, I agree, the Mystics are nice looking wheels because they are KNOCK-OFFs of the Weds Kranze Cerberus...

I'm sure in a few months those losers will be knocking-off the Weds Kranze Cerberus II...

Cerebus II are nice...very good wheel....it belongs to their new high-end "EVENTER" line....with a "stationary" center cap emblem..basically when the wheel is moving, the center cap logo will not rotate...:eek:

I actually have a pretty good hookup on the Weds...the only thing is the shipping...if you air ship, you will pay an arm and a leg...if you can wait, you can get it via slowboat...did I mention the slow part?

List price is $2770 (JPY 336,000) for a set of 19"x8.5" and 19"x9.5"...that using a 1:121 exchange rate (this is what most places will exchange for you...if anyone knows where to get a near true Forex rate, let me know!)

If you guys were willing to WAIT for a slowboat shipment, I can get these wheels for pretty cheap (in the low $2K range...)...with air shipping, I can get them for in the mid $2K range...and if I get some more quantity, I can do better prices (that price is if I'm buying just ONE set)

Of course there is addition shipping unless you can pick them up from Los Angeles.

GS4Will - Wonder when Zenetti is going to knock that feature off!?
