i don't know, lexus never has very appealing wheels. but just when they start to improve with the recent wheels on different models, they continue to mess up the sc430 big time.....

Although I don't particularly care for this new wheel, I think it's one of the better OEM wheels for the SC430 already. It's better than the pie plates & the current standard 5-spokes of the regular SC430's.

We got our Black Sapphire with the Tourmaline wheels and really like them. They look best at about 10 miles/hour.

I have seen pics of these chromed, which look great also...

Wheels are distasteful, and the corner marker light is as misplaced as it can get. This is bad...

I kindof like it, but to me it seems a bit half-a$$ed:

It's not the kind of 2-tone interior that I've imagined, I agree it's a bit 1/2-A$$ed . . .

Personally, I dont like the wheels at all. They look too small for the SC. The color is alright, and the interior two-tone is pretty weak. Why didnt they put in some fancy stuff to make the Pebble Beach Edition a little more special? Rear view camera, some extra power, bigger wheels? Over all I think its just an SC with a weird charm about it...

Dont like the two tone interior that much. Lexus should have used amber pearl from the ES with maybe a black interior and those wheels. Also did anyone else notice you cant get saddle for the 08 model year.
