Very nice and clean! You don't need new rims. Put some spacers and drop it. I like that style rim.

I'm a split 5-spoke kind of guy....

That's what I have on my 02 IS 300 and will more than likely put on this one.

Newer car, same style.

Here's a schoop with the rims/wheels I like:



To much silver or bling?

Yup to bright of a wheel for a white car IMO. You should get black pearl emblem kit too

those wheels are too flashy IMO... did you ask for the pinstripe? or was that normal OEM?

Pin stripe was on the car when I bought it.

I really don't like to look like every other L on the road. I'll be removing all badges except the big "L" from the car shortly. My vanity plate will ID the car just fine.

Seems that everyone wants a slammed car, same type of rims, body kit(s), etc. I typically choose to go the other way. That being said I wouldn't mind a mild drop, especially the front and just a touch in the rear.

I do agree the rims are a little on the blingy side, but I don't care for the stock dark rims. I feel it darkens out the wheel wells to much.

I have two other schoops and one was to plain and the other had black in place of the hyper silver. I feel the other rims would look killer on a blue or grey (silver) car, but not so much on the white.

Alright for comparison purposes, and I have a feeling most of you's guys will like these better, here's the RW-2;s with the black as opposed to the hyper silver.




and finally the Carthage rims, which are IMO to plain due to the spoke design, but not quite as much chrome lip.
