most of us here would agree that those wheels you seem to be looking at are a bit tacky. we're just trying to let you know that there are quite a few rims out there that would look quite at home on an is, but at the same time would not break the bank.
at the end of the day, it's your car, so what does it really matter what we think anyway? but then again, you did come and ask for an opinion. i suppose it comes with the territory.

I'll be up front and honest with you that the Lexani stuff is not really a good move, and I'm not dealing with aesthetics at all. Those types of wheels are "one size fits all", meaning no custom specs, no staggered fitment (larger lip in the rear), no clearance for brake systems, etc etc. Plus those rubies and things fall out, and that is not a insult or joke, I'm saying literally: they really do fall out.
click these links and maybe you will see something you like, and if not, good luck in whatever you choose

Actually it's not irrelevant what i was trying to get across in the orginal post was do they fit? Then alot of replies were negative so then i posted a reply stating i did not pay 10-20 thousand for a used lexus. I payed 50000 and dont have alot of cash left over for high speeds mods so i just want some rims intake headers and exhaust. If i had the cash for a new big brake kit i wouldn't mind putting on a lightweight rims but right now i just wanna hide the ugly rotors with lots of ice.

you want to go fast, yet you're looking at lexani rims with red jewels or "dubs".
sounds like it would be best if you just stayed oem for now. that would be the most sensible thing.
