First I've seen them on sewell, they look nice, wonder how they'd look on.

Should fit no problem, same specs as a g-spider, they look nice to me, but a little too salty for my tastes.

I like them, but haven't seen them on SCs. In fact they're really rare. Someone should try em on. I think they would look good.

They are $600 for a set of 4? That's a GREAT price for OEMs. I say get them. My SC430 has the 06-07 GS430 18" 5-spoke wheels and they are MUCH better than the twisted star wheels that came on my car. I am very happy with them. Also, 5-spoke designs never go out of style. If you want a pic, let me know. I'll send you one. Tourmalines are nice and class but are becoming more common, set yourself apart! GL on the decision.

@Zgone: they are $600 for the set, hence why I am debating between these and the tourmalines.
These rims look like they are kind of gunmetal color, which I dont know how it will look against navy. Thats why i like the silver finish of the tourmalines.

WAIT A MINUTE, are they $600 a set (4 wheels) or $600 a wheel? Sure looks like $600 a wheel to me.

I, too, have never seen these on the streets, but I'm seeing them on the '10 SC on Lexus' website. Btw, the 10-spoke tourmaline are used in '09 SC correct?

idk. it could be a set considering the use of the word 'package.' Plus they put these on the IS-line as an option. Not to knock the IS line, but why would they put ~$2500 wheels on their least expensive car? Just sayin.

thats what made me think they were for all 4, but the tourmalines actually say 4 wheels included, maybe I'll put a call into Sewell and get the real answer.
