How do you like these wheels on a SC?

Thx for all the comments guys.
Like I said they look better in person.
Here is a pic of the wheel:
The front is polished, black painted on the back and also between the spokes.
Somehow and at different angles it flows with the car.
I know most of you like aggressive, staggered, flush or whatsoever wheelfitments.
But in Austria (Europe) it's kinda complicated due to all the regulations.
For example it's not allowed to have a flush wheelfitment. The top of the wheels have to bee covered by the fenders.
Also we are not allowed to slam the car. We have to leave at least 4,33 inches ground clearance.
Bodykits? Yeah, only with certificate by the manufactory or the german TÜV.
Well, not that easy to mod a Lexus, especially a SC over here. Most of the dealers don't even know what an SC300/400 is. They were never sold in Europe (mainland).
Anyways, thx again for your comments. Still not sure about the wheels though.

wow you guys have some strict rules.. you only live once... put some 10mm spacers in the back. No one will notice. The wheel capture the elegance of the car. Keep them.

I was thinking the same. If I'm gonna keep the rims, I will put some spacers in the back and drop it a little bit more.

I think if the sc was with a blood red color, and if the rims could sit flush with the body [also having the car lowered] would really pull it off. but as of your car right now, better then stock, but i recomend spacers.
