what do you think of these wheels?

Plastidip comes in a few colors, maybe you can find a silver that you can refinish all the wheels with. i know some people who have tried it, they say its very durable.

A lot of us have tried it. We have a thread on it floating around:

OP i think its going to be very tough to find a rattle can that can match the OEM paint. Might as well refinish them all so they look even better. However if your set on just touching them up a wheel repair shop may be your best bet.
 
Idk how much a refinishing service charges for wheels. Depending on how bad they are, you may end up having paid reproduction price for OEM wheels. Id get a quote for refinishing, then decide wether to pay someone to refinish them or touch them up.
 
Piad 400 for all 4 with tires... going to swap the center caps tho.
how did i do on price?

Are you serious? Wtf! Thats a fantastic price. Get them on quick! And snap some pics.

Seems like they have a lot of tire tho. What size are they? If you're at stock height you should be fine.
 
Its a 255/40. all 4 are 19x8.5.
Guy had em on c-list for 500 and didnt want to move on the price but I told him 2 tires were bad, whch they were. I cant put mix-matched tires on my car so I'm gonna buy 4 new ones before I install. I want them all to be brand new so i can keep a better eye on wear rate.
I drove an hour and a half to get them but it was well worth it.
Also just finished up my train horn!
 
SO HAVE I! I saw someone on here said that a former member had them on his car? I've never see this car.
ATTENTION: IF ANYONE HAS SEEN A LS WITH THESE WHEELS, PLEASE POST IT IN THIS THREAD.
Maybe when I get home today I'll throw two on the car. still wouldnt look right though, it's at stock height.
 
Even at that price I didnt feel too comfortable having nothing to compare them to.
Once i got them home I did a little research, saw them selling on ebay in the same condition for 350-400 per rim! The seller did'nt really know what they were worth I guess, which I already knew once I saw what he swapped them for....
He swapped these wheels to put Dubs on his 04 XJR.
 
Those wheels alone are worth more than $400 without the tires.

You got about $1600 worth of wheel and tire right there.
 
It will look alright for a stock height LS, but won't look like 19s.

Those tires with lowered LS will look very rubbery. (possibly rub)?

That tire size will be slightly taller than stock. 255/35s will be slightly shorter by about 0.22 in diameter.
