IMO, they're way to small but it's understandable if they came with the car. You plan to keep em or are you gonna change em?

I don't know yet. In terms of options inside, it has everything I need and more. Outside looks great too. I usually install exhaust and CAI, but it looks like that CAI is way too hard on our vehicles. Have to progaam the ECU in order to do it or something? THat's way to advanced for me. I'm not mechanical at all

Nah you don't have to mess with the ecu. What kinda exhaust and cai? I suggest you replace the rims with a set of GS430 17's.

Congrats! But the wheels does seem a little small. You should look into OEM 17s or 18s from a newer model Lexus.

Is it just me or is that rear wheel mounted on the wrong side?

Nice catch. Those tires are definitely directional.
