alloy wheels

Johnerr

hello, i am looking for a set of alloy wheels for my car lexus is250. the wheels on the car are staggared meaning that the back wheels are wider.

I am wondering what is the best place to get alloy wheels in ireland? i live in dublin and want to get a nice set 19" with low offsets, set there is a 1" + lip on the wheel.

is there any good sites to look at?

thanks

You know that all alloys can be bought in different offsets, pcd's etc?
You can pick almost any rim you want and usually the dealer can get you two of one width and two of another, giving you your staggered fitment.

That means that your not so stuck to a certain amount of rims!

Yeah they are on more prestigious cars like your own, you'll find them on the big saloon cars BMW 5 series, Lexus (Lexai? ). I don't know of anyone doing them here though.

But that potn.co.uk crowd will ship them no questions asked!

Absolutely beautiful under your car, you got a good taste there

Just be careful of cheap copies of famous rims. Cheap rims can get flatspots if they go into a pothole or anything, where as a proper rim company have sturdy strong rims! BBS make a rim the same as that and I would think it's a copy, does it give the manufacturer?
