I like my rims. I really think that the color of the car has a lot to do with the way they look too. I am not a fan of the chrome sc430 rims. And yes, I am getting 20's for the summer. These were to replace my horrible looking factory rims.

Exactly what I was looking for thanks man, I have a silver one too so that made me make up my mind. I have the stock 16s and I need new tires and for only 300 more for bigger wheels and still lexus quality why not you know. I was going to buy 20s this summer but I bought another crx to play with instead.

Speaking of SC430 wheels the Pebble Beach Edition wheels would look really nice. That's the black wheel with the chrome lip and chrome studs, making it look like a 3 pcs wheel. Not a bad wheel for OEM. It look really good in person. I'm sure some one has a picture of them on here since their factory wheels?

I'm not feeling those wheels at all on any car. The SC430 wheels do nothing for me at all.

I actually like how they look on the silver one and thats what color mine is. Those take off 2006 wheels... anyone have pics of them on a gs I cant picture them on a generation 2.

If I had to get SC430 rims, I'd get the center replacements. The round manhole covers just does not do it for me but the 5-spoke version is OK.

Yeah as far as I know the only difference is the center caps right the wheels are the same? And where is a good place to buy those other ones?

Yup. Caps are the only difference. I have not seen any in the classifieds. Your best chance is the dealer or better yet our CL vendors Carson Toyota or Sewell Lexus.

Edit: Better yet. Jump on these:

Great price and new caps included.

Saw you post in the ad. Hope it works out.

As for tires, the OEM size is perfect: 245/40. The tires do not need to be runflats.
