PICTURE! Ordered my winter wheels, 18x8 with 35 offset

Finally pulled the trigger on my winter wheels. These: http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3..._3/Wheels-for-Toyota/18-Lexus-LS460-Wheels-Hyper-Silver-18x8-SET_2#.VF49_IhOKrU

Arrive next week. With a $25 coupon I found online, total was $476 shipped.

While they are 8" wide (vs our oem 7.5) and have a 35 offset (vs. 30 oem), I'm confident they'll work. Tires are 245/60r18 hakka r2 suv. I've ran the numbers through multiple offset calculators and shouldn't have any clearance issues. The offset and tire width result in the tire/wheel being moved in .2", hardly anything in my opinion.

I've decided to go "tpmsless."

I'm not one to post pictures, but will try once everything is mounted up. And will update with fitment.

I will try to get some better pics up tomorrow. Winter storm right now. Did drive my Bridgestones in about 3 inches of snow today and they were just ok. Put on the Hakkas and went back out.... Wow, I am a believer.


I like the look of my winter wheels better than the OEM XLE wheels.

Congrats on your new winter wheelset! I live in MN and as you know the winter can last about 5-6 months. I did not install the TPMS first year I had the dedicated winter wheelset. My wife got nervous or annoyed (maybe both) when the TMPS light flashed and stayed "ON". So this year I spent the money ($80 for four new TPMS sensors via eBay + ATquickset TPMS tool). I do not have TPMS issue anymore.

I ordered the same TPMS set for $80. It was the last set the seller was selling. Thanks for letting know. I had bought ATEQ TPMS Quickset last year with the same intentions when I still had 2012 HL, but had postponed buying second wheel set. Thankfully they updated the database to include 2014 HL and I already saved TPMS codes for my summer set. I didn't see 2015 HL as an option in the tool. Not sure if 2014 settings will work 2015, but they should add 2015 soon.

They did not have anything special for BF, but I jumped on Ebay gift card deal on Ebay and bought $650 worth of gift cards for $585 ($45 for a $50 Ebay gift card deal). I ordered the wheels via their Ebay listing as they charge exactly the same amount compared to their website ($620 for 4 wheels + $89 for shipment = $709 divided by 4 = $177.25 per wheel with free shipment). I bought them in 2 transactions because Ebay only allows $500 of gift cards in one transaction. Here is the listing:

I ended up paying a total of $644 (savings of $65). Better than $25 coupon on their website. They will ship them on Monday. Will post pics when I got them mounted.

I am no expert on this but the wheels look very good. I couldn't see any visible issues. They came with Lexus center caps which I replaced with my originals. I haven't seen original Lexus rim up close, but these can easily pass for original by looks. There were no issues with mounting and balancing.
