Pictures look fine to me. I agree with the above, start with new taillights then maybe rims.

thanks guys. I still need to fix a few things on the car like the inner light on the trunk, the front side blinker, and the door trim at the bottom. But after owning a bunch of cars this is the only one I enjoy this much. I also said i would never drive a lexus....

Car looks like it's in great shape.
How many miles does it have?

Also, I'm looking for some tail lights.

Could anyone post some links or ideas?

I had the same problem on my left inner tail light. Last week, I called a friend who is a Service Manager for Mercedes. He called a local Lexus dealer and got 10% off the part for me. It was only $40.00 plus tax for the lens. It came with the whole mountable piece without the electrical part. Took 2 minutes to install. They want $50 on ebay and the bulb and wire are fine. For the first time, go to the dealer unless you go LED.

yeah i night actually go to the dealer if the inner tail light is that reasonable. the car has 156,XXX a little more than i wanted but it was a single owner car and he had taken really good care of it and had all the maintenance records.
