Default Chrome Rims??

what do you all think about these chrome rims on my Lex. I did this with photoshop. I dont know if I should get chrome or alloy. I dont particularly like this style of rim, I just threw it on because it was easy to find. Just to see what car would like with chrome. I will do an alloy one and post it soon.

I like the alloy better. Although I may be saying that because the chrome rims you chose look very Ghetto. The 5 spoke rims look good. Although they both look really big, but I'm sure you did them both in like 5 minutes in PS.

What size rims/tires are you planning on getting?

Have you considered the IS300 5 spoke rims in 17". I have them on my 1996 ES300. Here is what they look like on your car.

As I am sure you are aware you could get the IS300 rims in either chrome or alloy...or the in between "graphite" style.

I defintely like the 18's! Is the car lowered at all?

Weird how the links didn't work, all I got was the box with the big red X.

I would go with the chrome. It looks classier on a Lex. I wouldn't go with the ones you put in the pic though. I have chrome 19's on my ES, it looks sooo much better than stock.
