Just wanted to say hello and to get some views on some wheels i bought from ebay.
We bought our is300 last year as our one family car, it was the wifes choice really as she had seen a 200 up for sale in a local garage. I searched for a bit and looked at a couple of dogs then found this one with 100k on it but 1 owner and full lexus service history plus it was a 300
so would keep me a bit happier after selling my zx6r to help to pay for the car.
Because i sold my bike the wife agreed that i could do some mods to the car, up until now i havnt done anything to it except steering geometry because it was tram-lining and pulling a lot, it helped but i still find it a little unsteady on crap roads.
Anyways just a bit of an intro, the reason for posting was to get some opinions on some wheels i had found on ebay, got excited about and bought them. They are PIAA Super Rozzas which would have cost around £1500 new and have a big shiny lip which i have always liked on wheels. After picking them up i was kicking myself for not walking away as the rim had been kerbed quite badly and was tarnished and not really shiny at all, the main spokes arent too bad a little bliming up but not really noticeable but the little bolts holding the rim on are all corroded and need replacing.
I have a guy picking two of them up on wednesday next week to refurb them but hes not sure if he will be able to take them apart due to the bolts being so corroded, if he cant hes just going to machine the kerbing out and polish the rest of the lip best he can.
I just want some opinions as my wife initially said the original wheels looked best and i know alot of people on here seem to agree, i'm half tempted to just sell these and put the originals back on with a refurb to them, i know the rest of the car is standard but i will be doing skirts, grille and maybe lower a bit within i hope the next year.
Let me know what you think.
