Good luck ever getting these... I've had mine on order for what feels like an eternity now. They were supposed to be manufactured last month...

The wait is killing me.

It will look good for sure, or otherwise AME will not use it as a model.

Here's a pic of the wheels he's talking about:





Personally, I think that black on black (without a chrome or polished lip) is black overkill. I've seen it before, and it just looks... TOO black. Especially if you have any noticeable tint.

Some people like it because it sort of gives the car that stealth fighter look, I guess.

I really like a few of those ENKEI wheels. But most of the time, they don't come in the right size or offset. Those are

Yea the wait for that wheel is crazy. If you put your order in now you might be able to have them on before Christmas j/k but it does take that long to get them.

RocketGuy: When did you order yours? I spoke to D2 last week and they said they are getting there first set in this week I was wondering if they were yours.

I ordered them at the beginning of April... so hopefully those are mine.

Yeah, the offset (mainly on the front wheels) wasn't quite as aggressive as I was hoping for... but I'll live... maybe.

The votes are running 50/50 so far and it's really your choice. Like a couple said, sometimes there can be too much black for me. I personally like contrast.

But, it's your car and since it's a Lexus, it's never gonna' look bad!

Go with what you like, that's what makes them all unique is everyone tailoring their car to their taste.

Cheers,

I'm waiting to see pics of RocketGuy's after the install and hopefully he'll let us know about any issues.

As long as it's all good I'll be ordering too, those rims are badass.

I like the wheel, but I think it might just be too black. Maybe if it was a gun metal color, it would look a lot better.
