eh the wheels don't look bad, but it doesn't really set it off that much dunno, not bad though just lower a bit more and eat some of that wheel gap

I love it. I think the wheels set it off a lot better than the stock ones and I think the wheel gap isnt all that bad. Slamming a car screws you on speed bumps and such... Of course my car looks like a 4x4..

Good job IMO

HatchMan
06-12-2008, 11:54 PM
I don't think the wheels set off the car at all.....
Darker rims with more spokes would have been better

it definitely looks better than stock however i just don't get that WOW factor. I'd still rock it though. Did you opt for the paddle shifters or the manual? can you get them in a manual?

i dont like it in the pics that much but in person the wheels look amazing. Actually one of the first things i said when i got out of my car at sonic was that lexus has some nice as wheels lol

down_shift
06-13-2008, 03:41 AM
I think the wheels look too spindley for such a "thick" looking car. I think the width of the stock spokes works better. Better offset wouldn't hurt either. I also agree the stance needs work.

Other than that very clean new car, enjoy it.

350 about 10k more then I wanted to spend. Plus I got a great deal on this used with only 5k miles on it couldn't pass it up. Yes bigger brakes are in the works.

Wheels would look alot better if they where wider imo.

Rims width looks narrow.. and tired are a bit to small..

Other than that very clean new car, enjoy it.

Better offset would change the look completely. Bringing the rims out to the lip would create a much more aggressive look. Also, someone mentioned going larger with the tires, and I totally agree. A taller sidewall would take away from the gap some and add to the overall aggressiveness.

LOL @ the kid’s criticizing. When was the last time ANY of you bought a new car (~New~ not some used ass 90's Honda) and did mods and rims 6 weeks later? Car looks nice... In my opinion (key words) the wheels are begging for bigger brakes.

+1 on that for sure I need bigger brakes.

the wheels look good on the car!! I think it would be more dramatic if the color of the wheels are darker.
