Got a crackhead deal on these that I couldnt pass up...
They're 17" 2002 Lexus IS300 wheels with Firehawk SZ50 tires...
I think they look pretty good...'specially for what I paid.



Gimme some feedback...

 

 

They look alright, but I bet they look much better in person. I thought you were selling your car?

 

 

yes they do...
and no i'm not...

 

How heavy are they? What size tires?

 

i think they look a little better than these:



considering i just sold my stock 15" hubcaps and upgraded to these while making a nice profit...

they look even better now, huh?

 

I'd say they look better
Damn, you must have gotten a really really really awesome deal to make a profit off selling your steelies.

 

Can't go wrong with 5 spoke wheels.

Done with the turbo project yet (or the manifolds)?

 

Kev please check your PM's

 

they are lighter than alot of rims.. almost as light as volks..

but i don't like how they look on your car

 

wheels and tires combined weigh 44 lbs according to my scale...
that's a little heavy but it's OK...the turbo will have no problem spinning them.

the tires are Firestone Firehawk SZ50 215/50/ZR17...

The rims AND tires are all brand new, never used...
And yes I think I got a good deal... $200 for EVERYTHING.
hehehe...eBay Crackheads RULE!

 

manifolds should be done soon...
they're being made by the same shop that does all Cattman's work...
out in Arizona...

after that its just a matter of a few weeks...

 

maxrev?

 

no way

 

Sounds like it.

 

yep...my buddy geoff works there...

 

$200?!?!?! WTF. Damn, I guess no one was bidding on them. Shipping must have been like almost half the price of the wheels. Sheesh

 

IS3 wheels bolt right onto our cars?!? I'll have to do some shoppin

 

There was a guy in Toronto who has those on his white 4th gen too at a meet earlier in the summer. Maybe it is the pic but his looked more chrome like.

 

i think IS3's are 17x7.5 and GS are 17x8 but i know the GS has the same offset.. figure the IS should be the same.. but i was just pointing out they are not the same rims

 

Did they require any modification???? Like the same stuff as the GS rims? bore out the center etc?

 

they look super nice, I still liked the 19's.. sell me those when you change again!

 

i need to get me a crackhead deal like that.

 

yep...had to bore out the center...that's it...
took me about 45 mins...

also had to get different lug nuts...

 

They're not chrome but they're VERY shiny...
It was just about to rain so the lighting sucked in the pics...
They almost look polished, but they're just a clearcoated bright silver...

 

can u get the seller to give us crackhead deals?

 

haha...i dont think so considering he just canceled his ebay acct...i think the "heat" was on or something...

 

My4DSC man I also have these 15" hubcap'ed set, teach me the wisdom what can I do with these?? How muich can these be sold for? I thought someone might want 'em as a winter set...

 

i sold my original set of steelies for $425....
then i bought another set a few months ago for $175...
used them for a while and just sold them for $329...
i'm sure i coulda got more if i tried but i just wanted to get them outta the house...

i can sell yours for you for a slight commission of course.

 

holy molly, 425??? Look if you can hook me up with a good deal whatta hell I will pay you. My set is on my car since day 1 I bought her, and now it has 23K mi on it, the tread is good. One of the hubs has minor curb scratch. The only problem is I cant let go of my current set without putting on another one, or my car will be sittin on the bricks. I would love to get a decent set for around 200. Please email me.

 

looks like you gotta buy a new set first then...
just browse ebay...you'll find something...

 

what section are you looking under??? I'm looking at ebay and there is nothing in that price range 200-300

 

Parts: Car & Truck: Wheels

it takes time...keep looking...
use search words like "5x114" "5x4.5" "5 lug" "maxima rims" "maxima wheels", *brand names* etc...

 

2 Questions

What did you use to bore out the IS300 wheels

Are the pictures working for anyone?

 

drill, a carbide (sp?) bit, and cutting oil...
oh, and some elbow grease...

 

the only thing wrong is its the brand name.

no offense.

 

4DSC no doubt it takes time, but were you killed on shipping? And wheels from what other cars fit Maximas w/o any boring?

 

shipping was only $678.32...
j/k it was a little over a hundred bucks...
i dunno what other rims fit w/o boring...
just make sure they're 5x114 and +40mm to +50mm offset...

 

i don't know about u guys, but they look kinda wierd to me! but it doesn't really matter.....
