I was thinking the same but I'm torn between both, waiting to see what majority opinion comes out to

i would go for the first one, they look a lot better since they're concave, but you might want to upgrade the brakes in the future. since it does show your brake setup more, than the other.

I have supra TT front brake setup, was looking for something to put on the rear. I'm new a noob to the Toyota/Lexus game, been getting a lot of good ideas off of CL. Thanks for the opinion guys, I'm slowly leaning more towards the first ones

Your cars gonna look really hot bro, go luck with it. Yeah the first wheel is clean. I love your blacked out look including the grill. Really nice bro. When you go lower, and your get the right offset wheels, you'll be rocking

I like the first one. The concave face looks great.

I agree concave seems to be the way to go, does anybody know who can dip faces in gold color and how much? I think the gold would pop nice on the fresh black paint...

I would have to agree with everyone else and say the concave looks best! GitRdone
