Those wheels are sick. If you don't mind me asking, how much did they run you? I contemplating on if I should go with a black wheel with rose gold calipers or should I keep the calipers black and rose gold wheels. My LC is white and I have rose gold accents on the car.

Thank you! They ran over $10K. Some might cringe at the thought of spending that kind of money on a set of wheels however, I wanted something unique, new, fresh and innovative that would make a statement on the car. Also wanted quality in the materials and the finishes. I've owned cheap wheels before and as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." Besides, the stock LC500 21" forged wheels come out to be more than these PUR Wheels I had made.

As far as your color combination ideas I would personally leave your calipers black and do a wheel that has a rose gold lip with a black face. Here are two I would highly suggest from PUR Wheels.

Do you need a body kit and exhaust to finish off the looks ?

For sure! They're being installed tomorrow. Contact Tyler Cook at PUR Wheels (604) 279-5563 he is awesome and will go over everything with you in detail and is always readily available to take calls regarding any concerns or questions along the way of your build. They have already done like 3 different styles of wheels for the LC500 so they have the offset and specs from mild to wild. I went with a very aggressive offset and concave on mine.

Yea I'm with you on that. The deeper the concave the more aggressive look it gives the vehicle. Thanks for the POC. I'll be sure to reach out to him!

Gold/bronze/copper wheels can look amazing if done right. There was another guy that put gold wheels on his red LC. It's definitely garish but it works...I could see Ken from Street Fighter driving it for some reason. Looking forward to see how your white ones will turn out.

The LC500 is all about luxury first performance second. It only seems appropriate to mount some obnoxiously loud wheels on one. As far as the red LC500 here ^. I'm not a fan of red cars though unless the color is on a Ferrari or a fire truck lol. These wheels appear to be a solid Monaco Gold. I'm not a fan of the multi-spoke either it's quite played out. The only wheel company who seems to be coming out with very innovative, new and exciting designs has been the PUR Wheel line IMHO. I'll post photos of mine after they're installed after I find a nice backdrop for a deserved shoot. Personally I think the golds/bronze type wheels flow better with a white or black color car as it leaves more contrast between the car's lines and the wheel's depths and dimensions.
