Heres a Toyota Crown Majesta with a set of mono-block styled wheels



not German, and looks right to me- however, everyone has a different opinion- I know we got guys here who like lip like this, and guys that dont... guys that want to look more sporty, guys that want to look more executive, etc- I think a monoblock styled wheel on a SC would be great for a guy trying to create an executive sports car feel.

Thats a whole lot of lip. I like it though.

I agree. these wheels would look awesome on an SC. Pat, whatever you do, don't get AMG wheels and have them redrilled for the SC. It will look really awkward.

How about considering these Work wheels? I think these would look nice too. 19", nice wheel, nice price, local guy

AMG monoblock looks better on a 4-door sedan like the LS.

I receive those types of comments, but after I give and explanation, it all makes sense.

Many of the VIP magazines I have show JDM cars (ie. LS, GS) with Brabus and Carlsson rims. Brabus has not released rims for the JDM market, but Carlsson does offer wheels to the LS crowd.

As far as the AMG , I wouldnt slap it on a Lexus because AMG is clearly for MB. If my rims had the MB logo and Carlsson , I would not sport these rims. The fact is my rims don't have signs of MB anywhere and just has the Carlsson logo and text, makes it ok for me.
