Hi, I've posted this topic because i recently found a set of Ikon alloy wheels dressing 4 215/45/17 Nankang tires at a very low price: in euro, for both rims and tires, the price is 550. Incredible.

Look at them:

And tires:

They will fit any of these Lexus models:
Lexus ES300
Lexus IS200
Lexus IS300
Lexus LS400
Lexus LS430
Lexus SC Coupe

A friend of mine told me that Nankang is a pretty tire, expecially good on wet but not very durable. Need a change after 20.000km...

nice looking wheels@nice price

Is that price for 18's?

No, for the 17". But the price for the 18" is something like $700 for wheels+tires.

I like these too:

I love chrome. Someone chromes me!

£700 for 18" with tyres is cheap as chips !


Do they have any other designs or just that design of alloy?


cheers

I love chrome 2!!

do you think does will suit the car?

anyways i've got my heart set on nice set just wait for funds

Unless someone wants to gimmie £3k for my standard 17"s? any takers?

Need better tyres on them. Nankangs are cr@p, especially in the wet

nankangs nearly killed my motor... they are no good in the weat at all and often I ended up fishtailing the car.

I bought hankook Sports which are a middle of the road tyre and the backend is now better

guys in the tyre place used to laugh at the nankang tyres

my car has nankangs on at the moment and i can confirm how crap they are (i bought the car with nankangs all round - lucky me!) I think the spare is a michelin pilot or something though.

swap the N for a W then

Ok... Nankangs are not good at all. Message received...

Now I'll search an ulr, the seller has got many models of 17" and 18" wheels.
Has got a set of chome 20" too, at the "chips" price of USD 999! Wow!
Wait for a new post... in a few hours.

Ah ,Dunkie, not £700 for a 18" kit. $700!!!

Ok, here's the link:

[url="http://cgi6.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=rimdealer&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50"]http://cgi6.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISA...&sort=3&rows=50[/url]

This is "rimdealer's" EbayStore. Note that, usually, he doesn't ship outside America. But I've asked him, and for a set of 17" wheels he will ship for 250 dollars to Italy. Not a cheap shipping, but chips wheels...
And if i remove tires from the auction, i save a bit money... just because Nankang are not very good, you told me. Probably i'll head for a set of Michelin or Pirelli.

MIK

MIK!

I just contacted him asking about that as he has some great wheels listed

Lets see if he will do it for us

Go for it Dunkie...

big package from USA may attract attention of customs, so import duty and VAT on top, and examination fee - so be aware!!

yeah grey they guy said we had a way round that but I really dont believe him hehe
