I'm not asking for negative comments.. I just thought I'd share Anwyays, I got some new custom painted satin black 20's because I went the cheap route with XXR wheels in the past and they cracked (thanks to Utah roads). I also decided to black out the chrome around my grill and exhaust tips. Anyways... Here's pics of my old wheels and new wheels...


2007 IS250 AWD, H&R Lowering Springs, TSW Snetterton 20x8.5 +40, 235/35/20 tires.

No no no! Should have left them alone. All black wheels look like donuts. No contrast, should have just painted the stocks in that case.

Looks niceee. Did you have the shop paint the exhaust tips?

CleenLXUS

I used plasti dip... I did some research of people who've used it and they said theirs are holding up after a year... So I tried it. So far, nothing has changed. They are theexhaust tips that go over my stock pipes that came with my rear GFX lip.

[quote=linus73;7406255]Personally, I've never been a fan of chrome, silver, or the polished lip... My emblems are black and the chrome around the grill is black, so the wheels match perfectly haha Some people aren't a fan of black wheels... And I'm fine with that Although, I do think they would've looked good the way they were (hyper silver with a mirror lip), but I wanted an all black mesh wheel and have received plenty of compliments on how it looked in the past and how it looks now

Looks good! But you probably gonna change soon, I went with all black on my SGM awhile back, went back to lighter wheels couple weeks later.

[quote=CleenLXUS;7406272]im not hating at all. i would have just left them alone thats all. i was going to get those same wheels in 20's for my IS, but the lip size killed it for me. 1.5on snetterton and 2.5 on my lexani. i had black rims before too, but with a polished lip, i changed because polish lip is hard as hell to upkeep. mirror lip just needs a wipedown. i have had a lot of negative things said about my lexani lss-10 wheels, but i think its the best set i have had thus far. and everywhere i go i turn heads, espically from all the other luxury car drivers, and im lovin every min of it. enjoy your new setup and do what you like, not what others think.
