350Z wheels on an SC430!
What do you guys think of putting these 350Z wheels on my 05 SC430. Of course I would put the Lexus 'L' center cap emblem replacing the Nissans. Does anyone have any pictures of Z wheels on SC430s? Let me know the CL opinion. Thanks!
Update: A CL member kindly photoshopped the wheels on for me. Let me know what you guys think. I am really torn...

a few things i don't like about them:
they're too small for the wheel well. stock sc430 wheels are a little small to begin with. these are even smaller.
they're distinctly 350z. anyone who knows anything about cars will know you put stock wheels from a cheaper car on your lexus. kinda cheesy.
the brakes will show through. it'll look much worse than the photoshopped version when you see the rusty rotor showing through.
personally, i'd suggest looking for a used set of after market wheels. or going with another lexus wheel.

Just put on a set of factory Tourmaline wheels, happened to see a white SC in a parking lot and took a picture for comparison. My SC only had 15,000 miles on it when I picked it up, so I used the original run flats and TPM's. Not bad for less than a grand, brand new out of the box from TMC (wheels $900 change out $90). These should do nicely until I find that perfect high dollar after market 20" setup. I wonder if they'll be 10 spoked ...those 18's look a lot bigger than the 16's on my SC400.
