I have breakwater blue, and I think the black and polish rims style just clashes too much....I think either chrome or alloy for me, or even a darker alloy wheel.

Hello Everyone:
I finally purchased my new wheels and tires:

Lexani R6 20 x 8.5 +25mm offset all around (AWD)

General GMAX 255 45 20.

Prior to this set up, I had the stock Lexus 18's with Michelin MXV4.

After having the new wheels installed, I also had new KYB struts and Eibach Pro Kit installed. I know that some people aren't happy with their drop after the Pro Kit, but I can definitely see a difference. Alignment just completed today.

I am much happier with the way the vehicle handles and looks now, which (of course) resulted in a minor decrease in ride comfort. I'm also surprised that the new tires are just slightly louder than the Michelins.

Here are photos showing my vehicle with the new wheels and tires, before and after the suspension/Pro Kit:

Am going to guess the General's will get louder over time.

We shall see. It'll be a while, as I only drive my RX less than 5K miles per year!

Thanks! I'll try to upload some front and rear shots this weekend. Unfortunately, my wife's car is in the shop this week, so she's driving it to work (80 miles round trip per day, yikes!).
