Great looking 5 spoke wheels. You don't see many in my area.

Thanks, yeah they are ultra rare in the Northeast. I saw 2, 2010+ with the 19s this year and they both had Florida plates on them.

After closer examination of your new wheels I agree you now need to make your calipers standout.... A contrasted color option is better, IMO, than a black or dark color. Seems yellow, lime green, and white are gaining ground; some have even opted to polish the metal but I have to imagine there is upkeep involved.

Here is a link to a company in Canada that offers caliper decals:

Here is how they came out on the LS400 calipers on the SC

Thanks, I may look into the decal mod. I sprayed my rotor centers and calipers with Permatex rust converter spray. It turns surface rust areas into a black/gray finish after several treatments. I sprayed them with the wheels on since it is almost like a clear coat on non rusted areas so a little overspray on unintended areas is ok. Nothing worse that rusty brake parts showing thru a nice open rim!

do you still have the rims? If so I would be interested in them. I have a set on mine now but they have some serious road rash and paint issues. Are yours in top shape?

Awesome! I would take that exact car in a heart beat. The right year, color of exterior and interior, L version, wheels and all. Only thing I would add would be a spoiler. Now the price just needs to come down to about half of that and I would be all good.

i started to refurbish mine today as the previous owner must have used the wheels as parking sensors! I'll start with the spare and if i can get a good finish ill do the other 4. they are a big wheel when you are refurbishing them front and back!
