Default Too Murdered?

After spending countless hours studying CL member's cars, finally put together my IS 350. My only concern is that the car is too murdered and has lost integrity of a Lexus. I've taken the wheels off already and temporarily on stock wheels. Can I get your opinions on the wheels?

Other mod's include:
Eibach Springs, Window tint, blacked out grille, blacked out headlight housing, LED tail lights.

Thanks!

Your car isn't "murdered" at all...you just have black wheels...

When you get wheels its not about how nice the wheels are but how they make the car look with fitment, etc. with that said:
I think the car is missing agressiveness as far as a lip/body kit. those are agressive wheels so something like the INGS kit something beefy would go well with the wheels. I am all about black wheels however its hard to get them to fit/look "right" it happened to me I had to get the roof black, headlights, and so many small things to make it look "right". when i first got the wheels it looked awkward. Good luck

I don't think it is too murdered... But there are so many cars out there that are too murdered, b/c people like murdering just b/c a murdered car can look so murdered. My main problem with murdered cars is that the murdering process can really murder the identity of the usually murdered parts due to murdering that has taken place on after market products...

The wheels are Enkei LS-5 and they are 20's. Some like the chrome lip, others don't. I'm trying to sell them but because I'm new here my classified has been removed. Still learning how this site works.

I've definitely seen care more murdered than mine....you guys are right. I think the care looks great with these wheels, however I don't feel like it represents me. I know if I saw someone else driving my car I would stop and look. For now, they are for sale.

MURDER! Murder count in about 3 sentence: 10

But all joking aside, I'm definitely not feeling how those wheels look on the car. But like others said, your car is not murdered out. You just got come black wheels and black headlight housings on your car. Welcome to CL, btw, your 2IS source of information
