I'm looking at these for when i get my gs400:
http://www.wheelsnext.com/default.cf...or=HYPERSILVER

the prices these guys have are insane. 18 x 8(Front) +18x9(Rear) with tires for $1299. including free shipping, free mounting, free balancing and a free install kit with lugs and chrome valve caps.

Has anyone shopped with these guys before? they don't list what tires they use, so that makes me a bit nervous and there's also this:

edit: these (http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?...rod2P=245.6883) would be my first choice. they're from a reputable vendor as well as good quality rims (the guys from e46fanatics swear by them) and they are only about 24 lbs. as well as 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. but they're so much more cause the tires aren't included.

quite a few people have ordered from there....and almost all of them have had problems with the product, shipping, or customer service. I strongly suggest you look elsewhere.

order from reputable sites like:

tirerack.com
edgeracing.com

don't order from the places that show a bunch of "bling" wheels. Order from places that sell performance wheels, which are better quality.

that hurts man. that hurts. you'd think i'd order something strictly for bling? i really like the look of staggered rims. and having a car that fits wider than 8½" rims is just license to get them



you can't tell me that doesn't look great. if not the specific design of the rims (i would prefer something with thicker spokes). the staggered look is hotness


besides, like I said, those AZA wheels are loved by the e46 guys and are actually fairly light and very good quality.

edge racing actually has pretty great package prices. tirerack not so much....

if i'm not going to get staggered rims i'm thinking of getting these:



they're lexus OEM 18x8 and i can prob. get some stock takeoffs with tires for pretty cheap

Someone is selling a set of those in the wheels classified section (HP's)

that's a really sweet deal and someone should jump on it. i'd prefer 18's, tho

that and i don't have my GS yet. i'm just testing the waters to see what's available.

thanks anyway!

crappy photoshop made out of boredom:




i can buy the rims for about $500 shipped. OEM takeoffs brand new from the factory. the problem is that they're only 18x7, but the tires are at most a little over $100 each for good summer-only ones

what do you think?

What about ordering rims off EBay? I saw a few 20s and 22s at great prices, especially compared to retailers

if you buy OEM or brand name wheels from a reputable seller, than there should be no problem. keep in mind, though, if it sounds too good to be true, it likely is
