I think if it could be done I'd be the first on the boat. I would love to see the RX400h rims on an SC. They are sporty yet not over done, and you can keep your Lexus badged rims rather than go aftermarket. Anyone wanna photoshop them on?

I think the design of the rims is very nice, just not wide enough for my tastes on the SC. If I was spending the cash on rims, I'd hold out for something wider.

I think puttin stock rims from one vehicle to another is the most horrific thing a person could do. If you think about it,... anyone that knows anything about cars/trucks... is probably thinkin'... hmmmm... SC400... with RX wheels??? wtf??? or GS wheels??? or LS wheels????

If it ain't aftermarket, original, and tasteful,... stock is better than most of the other alternatives, which all equate to one thing... RICE!!!!

That P-chop is better than some of the rims I have seen running around on SC's. I don't hate them.

what they said. they're infinity billion times better than spinners and still retain a little "lexus" touch. they're not my cup of tea either, but hey... why not. if you like it, do it for YOU.

Well I still want to keep a wide stance so I guess these are out of the question. I don't want to have my wide **** car sitting on donut looking rims. But the face of the them look nice to me. That photoshop seems to have something wrong with them. The split spoke RX400h rims look much smoothed out. Much more cut out shapes rather than rounded like that chop had. But thanks for the effort. Now if they made these wider than hell I'd do it. If I were to have my cake and eat it too, I'd go with aftermarket rims with Lexus badging.

Wow....that's a horrible thing to say considering how many SC guys are running stock TT rims and love them. Are we all RICE???
I'm not liking the RX rims all that much, but I highly disagree with your statement.

And also, the IS rims do not look BAD on the SC, in fact there are a few members who did at one point or are now rockin the 5 spoke 17" IS rims, and I think they look 100x better than wagonwheel/turbine stock SC rims.

Unfortunately for me, TT rims don't really appeal to me like they do to a lot of the members here, but they certainly do look better than any stock SC rims (except for maybe 1 Model Year)
