Sick speaks the truth (especially about chrome). Personally, I wouldn't put a set of Giovannas on my car if I owned a Yugo. Giovanna is one of those companies that capitalized on this "bling bling hip hop pop a cap in ya *** iced out" gayness that has been going on...they sold crappy wheels with LOTS of in yer face chrome for WAY too much money to buyers who don't know any better....most of their designs are copies (though the do have a few original designs...)

The Corsica, for example, is a copy of the AME Modelart Excellent. Although they did reverse the "spine" on the spokes...woo hoo...Also, the wheel is a ONE-piece wheel with fake bolts around the edge to make it look like a multi-piece wheel. Honestly, do you think the #1 Luxury brand car deserves such craap?

Again, it comes down to this....AESTHETICALLY, the wheel looks good. It's a copy of a good design....but to people who know, they'll just laugh at you because they know you bought crap...to someone who doesn't know anything, I'm sure they'll be impressed....they are "bling bling chrome dubz" afterall...

You just have to do what you feel you need to do...are you going to be desperate for "dubz" and "chrome"? So much so that you're spend your money on crap that just "looks the part" or are you going to buy something that's truly worth the money and something that you'd be proud to own (like your Lexus).

I would personally just save my money and buy something better. You can pick up a set of Work Euroline LS wheels for around $2800 or so in silver with a high polished (shiny as chrome) lips....it's a nice REAL multi-piece wheel from one of the best wheel manufactures in the world. Clean style too.

rsg - Yeah the Giovanna's are bad, I was just pointing out that they are $3500 and for $3800 you could have the real deal Works, like the LS that Manaray just posted. Maybe you don't want to spend the HRE kind of $$, but for a few hundred more please don't buy knockoff's. Works wrapped in tires for $3800 isn't bad!!!!!

All right...I guess I'll just wait a little longer to get the wheels. Thanks for your suggestions.
You guys think 18's will look okay on the LS400? Does anyone sell Work wheels online?
