My rims are far from clean lol.. It has curb rash and some scratches on the face of the rims. I also want to keep as much of the oem parts as possible just incase..
I've been looking for a couple weeks and i've found a set of weds kranze borphes and a set of ame shallen lx's that look nice. If nothing new pops up soon then i'll probably end up buying one of those.

Great looking car for a 1998 but I would not go overboard with mods, I don't think a Lexus was designed to be overly modified, there is a thin line between looking cool and looking ridiculous. My brother lives near Kailua-Kona and he says many people in Hawaii drive jacked up trucks, Toyota Tacomas are very popular around his area I guess. Good job so far but don't get too crazy!
