Default Which wheels for 2008 Matador Red ?

Just wanted to get everyones opinions on which wheels to go with. I like the liquid graphite 08's....but the X pack wheels look the same color and they are rare on Red IS250/350's.

stock 18" liquid grahites...


or the X package wheels which look graphite to me....

I was (and am) always a fan of the X-package wheels...

I'm on the stock 18" - I'd say stick with it. If we're staying OEM, I'd get the ISP or G-Spyders first.

I'm against the tide here. I don't like the X-package wheels, too much empty space between spokes for my taste. If I was staying with OEM I'd go for ISP's or G-Spider's which look better, imo. Your choice, no wrong answer.

Put the x-package wheels against the car and take a picture.... it will be easier to decide that way.

Count me in on the "X-Package" rims, I love those wheels and would trade my Momo's for them, keep that in mind (LOL).

I have no idea what is the fascination with the X-package wheels. Those are some hideous wheels. I think G-Spiders are the only good looking wheels Lexus has at the moment. Oh wait, no the ones on the IS-F are nice as well.

It is all a matter of preference. If everyone liked the same things, this world would be a boring place now wouldn't it?

I like the G spiders as well....but again.....(ugh) the wifey doesnt...at least in pics she sees. I would trade these straight up for a set of new or take off G spiders...even though the X pack wheels are more expensive.
