I am in the market for a Lexus SC400 and have narrowed my choices down to two 1999 SC400's.
One has 16x7 7-spoke chrome wheels, each spoke having a swirly-type groove from the center cap going out.
The other has 16 by 6.5!! wheels that are 5 spokes. I'm suspecting that these are not the original wheels for this car, and maybe they came from a SC300.
Thanks for your help.

BuyingLexus,
Believe it or not, the 16x6.5 five spokes ARE O.E. for that car. Both the SC models (300 and 400) got the same five spoke wheels starting from 97. The seven spoke twist (16x7) were an option on the SC400.
I personally like the look of the five spoke much better, and in my experience, rides a bit better as well, if that's what you're after.
