New wheels/tires, debadged
Rarely drive the car, and the wheels that were on it when I bought it were completely hideous, finally got around to buying tires/debadge, and had old rims sitting in the garage from another lexus. Also painted the calipers same red. Let me know what you guys think.

a little harsh broskies... lol...
buut, I have to agree, I'm not a fan of that style at all. looks like a typical les schwab purchase for the dudes that don't know much about cars but still want to be cool to impress girls. lol.
to be constructive, I think the wheels might look a lot nicer if they were solid silver/polished.
edit: wait.. did you mold the sideskirts and rear bumper?? eek. also, you should take the time to fix your window trim (the b pillar piece) and make it solid black again, looks ridiculous to have such a shiny car and not have fixed such a simple thing.
sorry if we're being rude. just giving honest feedback...

I feel as though everyone else has already made the point the wheels need to go, so I'll keep quiet on that. As for the molded kit, not the wisest of decisions even if it does look good. Atleast the front bumper wasn't done! Also, look into a bigger brake setup for those large wheels, it will really add a lot to the side profile of your car!

The wheel is not that bad. What I have noticed over a period of time, is that painting the lips black really kills the wheel design. From far away, it makes the wheels look like they are 13's instead of 18's like in your first picture. Car looks fresh otherwise!

I generally like black/gunmetal wheels.
In this case, I have to agree with the general consensus. They need to go
Even polished they wouldn't really flow with the look of the car.
On a positive note, the bodywork and spoiler is pretty flawless from the pics you posted and I really like the 95' style taillights tinted. Did you spray them or overlay?
