RolxuSC400

To those at the meet on Saturday I got to thinkin...UPGRADES!

My SC400 was the Pearl White that was out front. I swapped the emblems to Black Chrome and really like the look. Being all about synergy I was thinking... are there any Lexus stock wheels available in "black chrome" that you all think would look good on the car? I saw the IS-F wheels but KNOW thats out of the reach. I would consider aftermarket as well but I am VERY picky. So my questions are:

1. how do you think "black chrome" wheels would look?
2. what recommendations do you have?

Thanks in advance. Again this is not a daily driver.

Mark,

You could do something this or mask of the raised part of the wheel and spray the middle part of the spokes and the area around the lugs

If I can find it I think I have a number for a guy that Powdercoats unmounted rims for a good price.

I've never seen it. you'd be original. that being said, I don't know how that would look

I think gonna pass on "black chrome" per se. Thanks to Boss got name of a powder coater waiting on call for estimate. Might go with greyish black.

By original you mean ugly...lol

ask them to do it with a polished lip.
my bro has a pearl white A8 and when he put solid black rims on it was too much contrast. the polished lip makes it look clean.

It was duplicolor gunmetal I think is what they called it.

Ok I found some wheels I like...they are GS460 wheels on an 08. They are not chromed but have that new finish on them kinda smoky color...thoughts? They are the 5 spoke rims. Will they fit...They are 18" with 245 40's on them.

haha of course not


BTW the gs wheels should fit.

Personally, I like the 06+ Gs430 wheels. Same finish, slightly different design.

I bet it would look very nice on that SC.

Yah I like the finish, the stance everything but the price. They were not worth the cost after talking to a few people. Cost was too high.

this guys selling used authentic SSR's from Japan for a good price.
offsets are decently aggresive for such wide wheels
