Congrats on the new ride and welcome to CL. About those wheels, they definately look darker than the 08s.

I take this back.

Yours are definitely darker than '08.

Thanks!

Those look nothing like the stock 08 wheels, they are much darker and almost have a chrome like finish to them.

The finish on your wheels looks closer to the is f wheel

Anyhow here are pictures of my car, I've already dropped it on the Eibach pro-kit but the pictures below are when I first bought it.

Also a question for you vets, my wheels are not a stock color I'm assuming. It looks like the previous owner color matched them to my car and they are a bit chromish (not a fan). Does anyone know if Lexus actually sells the wheels this color or is it obvious that the previous owner had them painted. If anyone really like's these wheels and is willing to trade their '08 stocks (the darker ones) I'd be happy to.
