Will these F-type wheels be plug and play?

    according to the auction descriptions i have read, they were "designed to work with the OEM tire size" which probably means they are plug and play as you say

    I've come really close to ordering these up.. it seems to be a great deal on some good looking wheels. The offsets are different on these at 36mm I believe compared to 45mm on the TRD plus wheels.

    Lol right? They sure are a great price. Will the offset require additional adjustments you think?

    That should be fine. The wheel will poke out a bit farther, but shouldn't hit the wheel well or anything like that.

    I just ordered a set from Lexussandiego and used my ebay mobile 10% off coupon making it a pretty sweet deal. From what I have read the 29 lb. figure is not accurate and these are actually weighing at 22 lbs. I will know for sure when they arrive and can update you here.

    Yes I am happy them so far and didn't have any issues with fitment. They weighed in at 22.6 lbs on our household scale. I wanted a good looking Toyota wheel and the price was right. I will add some pics soon... Will have to get a good car wash first. I'm thinking these wheels will look really good with the semi-chrome lower door mouldings...

    I'm excited to see how they look and also do you notice any MPG difference?? What kind of tires did you put on them?
