All of the recommendations listed so far ring in at at least 4k - 5500 with tires.
I think you shoudl got with the mesh design, i like it alot better (cleaner)

But I also like this wheel in chrome for you.
This would look very interesting and would flow in chrome with big lips with your paint

I'd have to agree with the others, your custom paint scheme deserves a more esoteric looking wheel. I would like to see a modular wheel with a contrasting center, perhaps brushed with a polished or chrome lip.
The 5-spoke wheel you showed looks okay, but I'm not sure it's different enough from your current wheel to even bother with. These cast one-piece chrome wheels all look like chrome blobs to me from 50 feet away anyway- especially when the car is moving.
It would be a shame to put an off-the-rack wheel on a car with so much attention to detail. Can you stretch into a two-piece wheel like iForged? I think they are quite aggressively priced.
Wheels make or break the car... I think your current wheels are the only thing holding your car back from being a Club Lexus "top ten GS."

But with the wedding, move and home purchase coming up so quickly I am reluctant to make another big ticket purchase. I like that mesh look as well I have always been a 5 star rim kinda guy but I am feeling that mesh one.

I agree with everyone on the RUFF mesh wheel... It will flow with the car alot better and really add that extra flavor to the car... IMO for some reason the wheels you have now seem to bulky for a chrome 5 star rim? I really think the mesh is the way to go.....
See if seize can photochop the wheels for ya.. Good Luck....
