I like the gold blitz wheels. Is your car gray or silver spruce? Any high-res pics by chance?

Thanks for sharing your pics.

sliver spruce.. No hi res pics for now, the pic with the blitz is from my old phone camera so i don't have any better pics with that set. I say if you want something different go gold/bronze. Something clean..silver/gunmetal. My stock sc300 wheels were painted black and honestly i don't think it looked very good. From far it makes it look as if the wheels and tires are 1 and all you would see is your car, black for me would only look good on black and that is wayyy played out now.

Very nice pics! The RP01's are light wheels. Did you see an improvement in handling? Coilovers or springs only? Thanks for posting your pics.

I agree.....

I know a few have mentioned the Blk on the Silver Spruce and personally I dont think that would flow to good... just my opinion

You can't go wrong with a nice mesh wheel. Keep it silver and classy.

Update: After looking at the exact color and a few pics posted and linked to, I think polished wheels would look nice, or if you prefer, chrome.
What wheels are those? I think those are soo dope.

Thanks, the coilovers helped with the handleing, but not well enough to revent this.

They appear to be BBS LMs.

BBS LM (Le Mans). The lip/rim is my favorite part of the BBS wheels. There are many (cheaper) replicas out there, though, which I've tried to name many of the replicas earlier in this thread. If I'm not mistaken (correct me if I'm wrong), I think pretty much all the mesh wheels are replicas or similar to the BBS mesh wheel line.

I really like the BBS LM and RS wheel designs. I'm trying to get some used BBS RS wheels right now (I want several different sets of wheels eventually) on eBay from a fellow ClubLexus member.

Default Here is my 1992 spruce with DCR Forged

Wheels were expensive but worth it. Every body I come in contact with at the light always give me a thumbs up and ask if the the car is for sale.

I was searching the forum and found a set I like a lot. They are Trafficstar RTS wheels. Does anyone know how much these wheels are? Do any of the discounters carry them? Thanks.
