Mesh and split spoke will look both good but don't buy that Axis or ADR crap...get some nice JDM wheels (Work, Rays, Weds, etc.) ...talk to Peter @ Wheel Experts or GS4Will....
Here are some pretty inexpensive 1-piece Mesh wheels by Weds...about $475 each (full Japanese retail)
Another nice mesh wheel...Advan Siena Generation II
Work Seeker CX
Work VS-XX
And the new RacingHart C4
There are many other good looking mesh wheels (like the Rays-A/X Style ME)...buy a wheel worth buying...Axis (except for their 3-piece Se7en) pretty much sucks...ADR just sucks period.

Those Racing Hart C4s are GORGOUS!!!
I like your idea of painting the car the same color, the picture you posted looks very nice. The pearl white is a great idea too. You will end up with a distinctive, yet, very nice car. Keep us posted about your progress.

tks for all the infos and help, you guys. really appreciate it.
yeah, i'm taking the car apart this coming wknd (if it doesn't rain, damn weather sucks in southern calif), rims, body kit and door bottom parts of exterior door panels (yup, you can take those off). i decided to paint all white but still undecided on the rims. i do like the "mesh" design a lot. i'm just tired of my brabus rims. are you guys interested on buying them? if so, let me know. i will post some pics with tires soon. tires are 85% tread left and rims are in excellent condition. it will all fit lexus cars with 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
wish me luck...

Hi Indy,
I'm interested in your Brabus rims, but don't know if it'll fit an RX300. I do know I have to get new tires for the SUV truck look. Do you know if it'll fit mines?/how much/with/without tires?
Thanks
BTW, I'm in Northern California, SF

Yes, a big brake should be in order! You could always jump in on the Wilwood 6-piston setup...soon to be released...
How about the Kinesis K29r (19" reverse lip)?
Of course, at that price, you can get a set of HRE 440R or 540R's...
