To me it looks as if it takes styling cues from the 2nd gen IS and the LS460/600. Well, at least that's what I think when I look at the side profile.

...which is great for me....I'm all sport.
LS can be the VIP platform, 4GS can be the tuner/sport platform.

The BBS's in the last one are the best so far.

I don't like any of these. They don't flow.
I think LFA wheels in Liquid Graphite or Satin Charcoal would look good.

Im loving the BBSs and the Vossens. I think it looks best with a full face wheel no lips or buttons. It flows better with the design and angles of the car. LFA wheels would like killer I think.
