For me....it was never a question of the chrome or 20 inchers looking very good...the issue always was that the 16 inch Lexus wheels looked very bad & small....they needed to be replaced with something bigger & glossier.
Not having access to the 18 inch Lexus wheels (unless i paid $800-$1,000 just for shipping from abroad), i settled for the pictured 20 inch knock offs with new 20 inch Pirelli tires - all for a reasonable $1,500!

Hey congrats on the wheels. Looks awsome. 
They really make the LX look even nicer. I have an LX also and am looking to upgrade wheels when it's time to change tires, and wasn't originally considering going as big as 20's, but now that I see your I'm starting to think differently. 
Are the tires a street or A/T tire?

1. Best fit (vibration free, "ring" free installation)
2. Looks
3. Cost
Your recommendations (hopefully with pictures) would be appreciated
Thanks!

Perhaps LX owners dont normally look for wheel upgrades or dont read this forum?
Thanks

Anyway, I know you don't want to go bigger than 20's because you're concerned about confort. You don't have to worry, the ride felt just as smooth on 22's, and you can always get a higher profile tire. Just go with whatever suits your tastes and you should be fine. BTW, the pics don't do justice to this LX. Oh, and yes, D2 is the man to go to.

I guess wagon wheels like mine are out of the question?
