Is that an F-Sport? I cant pull off the stock color since I am dechromed but I think they may work if redone in the same color as my current wheels.

I think Ill just PC the RC350's the liquid graphite and slap them on for a while. If I love them I can sell my stockers. If I dont, I can always sell them and revert back.

Yes, it is an AWD F-sport.

I guess I see what you're thinking about the #2 not matching with your dechromed car. Have you at least tried to place them up to the car to see how they look? The "chrome" part on the rim isn't actually the same shiny chrome as on the accents originally on the car, there is actually a "brushed" texture to it. They actually look alot better in real life than in pictures(especially the ones your photoshopped ones). The only gripe is that they are a pain to clean.

Anyways, I also like the stock F-sport rims, which is why I kept both sets. The stock ones for winter and RC rims for summer.

I dont have them in my posession yet, but I have a LS460 F sport with similar wheels here that I look at daily. I worry about the cleaning also...that part may be the deal breaker as I like a clean car.

Between the three you provided, #3 Looks best

I also like the look of the GSF wheels?

My vote is for #2 wheels; I don't think it'll clash with your dechromed look. The stock GS F-sport rims are nice, but a bit boring now. Not a fan for #3 since it makes the rim seem too busy.

Stock F Sports wheels I don't think the other two suits the car well. #3 is kinda similar to the ones Gs300 used to have.
