Default New Wheels - What do u guys think?

Old wheels were 18X8 +42 alessio wheels with dunlop sport run flat tires 245/40/18. They were on the car when i bought it about 4 month ago, not really my syle so i was looking for something different since i got the car.




New wheels are 17x8 +30 99 mustang svt cobra wheels, tires are 245/45/17.



what do u guys think?

old wheels look like e46 m3 wheels lol. but you're new ones look kinda small with the factory body kit. color of your car is on point though

Don't like either set. That color deserves better. Something with a wide chrome lip maybe. And think about a body kit too. That is a show-stopper in the making.

Dont like. I rather have stock SC rims then anything associated with ford/mustang on a Lexus. Thats just me though. If you like them then thats all that matters.

Sell both for $600, save up $400, and get a better set.

I've seen this done before. Doesn't look bad at all. Sporty, but still has kind of a "stock" look.

Stock 97+ body is perfect with the right wheels and suspension setup. Don't kit this car. Looks good- maybe consider painting them a dark gunmetal?

The first set way better. I am not a big fan of Cobra wheels. Just a simple design. I say put the other set back on. It looks better. IMO.
