Default Which rims should i get for my sc400? Need suggestion


As you can see, my sc have the stock 16 rims and I'm planning to get her a new set of wheels, I've basically came down to 2 option, maybe 3

1.) Lexus IS-F Stock Wheels



2.) Lexus IS250 X Package Limited Edition Chromed


Here's the none chromed one, cant find one on the actual car


I also thought about the stock IS 18" ones, chromed but I figured if i'm gonna spend the money might as well get something more special

Any comment suggestions??

How about some Leon Hardiritt Ordens? I don't think I've seen any SCs w/ those yet.

Go with the 10 spoke IS350 rims. They look the best to me and they're cheap.

ISF wheels hands down. Forged aluminum wheels made by BBS, can't go wrong with that The question is... can you find them for a good price?

I found a set for about 2200 with brand new tires, which isnt bad, but I ended up getting a set of 18" chrome stock G35 Staggered ones cause I got a pretty good deal... I'll post more pictures later on!

I voted others.

You can get a good set of staggered 18's on the cheap.
If your going to invest in wheels......why spend on OEM?

Get what you like and fits the ride.!!

Get 4 "back rims" for the IS-F. They are larger if I'm not mistaken. (I think 9" wide?) I think the offset is still around 40 though, so you might want some 20mm spacers all around- You'll be golden after that! Be prepared to pay $$$ for them though... Still rare and new "Lexus only part" even though it's a BBS wheel.

Well this all depends on your budget.....if your want cheaper rims that look good on your ride I would suggest the ISX50 rims. Here is a pic on my ride so you get an idea as to how they would look on your car.



In the same category of kind of cheap the Rays G35 rims are nice too, but if you got money to spend I think you could find some real nice Works or SSR's rather than the IS-F rims. Good luck with your choice and hope you don't mind my pic in your thread.
