Default Bronze 10 spoke 16" Stock Wheels?

Im getting CO's at the end of this summer most likely, but the way the stock 10 spoke wheels look is horrid. I wont be getting wheels for a long time 1+ years. Do you think painting them bronze would make it look worse or better? This is the car, photoshoppers it would be greatly appreciated.





something like that

having had bronze rims on my car for a number of months now, they attract attention. If you don't like the wagon-spoke-esque wheels, why would you want to attract more attention to them?

personally, I think the a gunmetal paint job would subdue the wheels and keep your eye on the body rather than vice versa. Check out this post: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...28&postcount=1. My eye sees the car and not the wheels in the "Before" photo of the entire vehicle.

Just keep them stock.It looks hella pretentious when you paint stock wheels.The effort is not worth the results. (you can get a set of stock lexus wheels from a newer model for pretty cheap and you can sell your stock set to offset the cost)

I'm not sure how the SC400 stockers would look painted, but my buddy painted his Sc300 stockers gunmetal and they looked pretty good.

Scroll down a few pics and you can see what they looked like. Sorry for the bad pic.
