Congrats.

the pics really dont show off the curve as much as if you see it in person, when I first saw the wheels on their site I actually believed that all 4 wheels looked identical but the rear doesnt have a real lip like most hweels thats why I called it a reverse lip... spokes come to the edge but lip does measure 4 in the rear and 2.5 in the front...every one at the shop thought these wheels looked ok off the car but unbelievable once installed...without mentioning the compliments on the street are ridiculous ( in a positive way)
Lowering the car was in my mind but the car looks great without it, It would look better for sure if I dropped it but I bought this as a beater, and really dont want to sink money unless I really need to
Here are pics of all my other cars...since I am new to this club
1st pic ...my evo...name an engine or suspension mod and 99.9% chance its already been done

As for the SC430 as your beater,

also to comment on what D2 autosport said regarding quality and price...I think the Quality is great...I am sure there is better( but isnt there always).I would not even consider classifying these with Axis or TSW...I think those are cheap a** tuner wheels and dont belong on a 60 k lexus unless we are talkimg about their VIP wheel or the real 3 piece seven they offer...But lets face it it all comes down to what you want to spend if you are willing to spend 700 or more a rim then I am sure in most cases yoiu will get a lighter, higher chrome quality rim. I see no blemishes on the wheels and am very satisfied with the results and would recommend DONZ wheels to anyone.

Those wheels look good, better than I thought they would. I think it could still benefit from a little bit of a drop, though.
You have quite the nice collection of cars. the Cobra, in particular

Actually, when it comes to the chrome models and such TSW and Axis have a very decent product, nothing at all to sneeze at, thats I why I carry those brands (in addition to DONZ). Just as you said, not everyone is going to spend 3k on wheels without the tires, so each of these brands offer a very decent product, at a fair price, etc etc. And trust me, you would be surprised at what CRAP people would put on their 60k Lexus!!!
Enjoy man, you seem to have some stable of vehicles there! Also, before you know it, the WALD aero kit will be going on that thing!! (and guess who carries WALD
LOL)

WALD will not sell the kits as only the front lip, they only sell the entire package. Its approx 1700.00
