Only wheels I'd put on my SC instead of stockers is SC430 Pie Plates, or *gasp* Vossen CV 3's...not really a fan of the Solara look.

The look was not the main factor for me, they were affordable, quality, right bolt pattern, and fit the 205 tires exactly. You must use the Solara lut nuts. I also got the Solara full size with 205 and more narrow than stock. 15 lbs. lighter.

I really like the Miglias. 430 pie plates suck man! So many better Lexus options then pie plates. I was gonna get IS250 chromes but I'm looking for something lighter then stock.

I was looking on Tire Rack, and the prices + shipping scared me off. Figured Id get these temporarily as a quick fix.

IMO, the SC430 pie plates are my 2nd choice in wheels. I really like the look. And they aren't 2 thousand dollars.
