Stock 330 - Best Wheel Design
I have been looking at getting some rims later down the track and as I have an RX330, my car came with the standard 17" rims. They are good looking wheels, but I want 18's (undecided if I would go to 19's especially given longevity of the tyre, road noise & cost differences in tyre sizes). The 18's on the 350's also look good. I have seen countless designs of wheels on the RX and some look great, others not so. The problem of course is that all of these wheels are on cars that have body kits on them and have been lowered. Now I fully understand that any car (including the RX) when lowered with the right size wheels will generally always look better than factory, however I would like for you guys & gals to give you opinion on what wheels work with a stock RX at stock height (some of those wheels with body kitted cars, wouldn't necessarily work on a stock car).
Post any pictures you would like, would be interesting to see what you have.

Yeah agree about the Thundercloud, they remind me of the SC430 rims without the centre cap.
I do like these rims, but have to do some chopping to see what it would look like on the RX stock. Great looking wheels, but would it work with the stock body.......... (I tend to lean more to a 5 spoke design most of the time with a each spoke being wide-ish).

The 8 spoke Liquid Graphite looks good too.

They became the norm (still an upgrade) when the 2008's were rolled out. The 5 spoke is an upgrade as well, lesser price.
The basic rims for the RX were 17" 6 spoke rims, which I hardly see here in ATL. Probably saw 1. I bought a friend of mine a set of these from fleabay and we put it on his Highlander.
