Try Lumarai Morro's. They're made by TSW and are designed specifically for Lexus'.

id go with 19's, 20's are too big to slam your ride and i think 18's are just too small. But the eurolines are classic, sexy wheels good choice

+1 for 19"s so I hope that gets you started. And since your car is silver i'd say go with chrome or bronze.

quick question OP.. how can you be a member on here for 2 years and not even know of what the name to a TTE lip is? did you go away for awhile or something? and before BRIAN says it, and we all know he will, search button above is your best friend..Good luck with your mods.

and for the replica lip go to the VIS website.. it's there and from what i've read it fits good

You gotta pay to play... tires, wheels, whatever.

I've run 20s on my GS for many years - before many people were doing it on these cars. At one point I even ran 21", but I think 20s offer the best combination of looks, ride, and tire choices.

My brother will be posting his 20" D2FORGED VS5 wheels for sale if you're thinking of stepping-up.
