What size are those wheels VVTiBob? Will those covers work on 18" wheels?

They are 18" Lexus Tourmalines. Chromed instead of the standard finish.

I figured they were the Tourmalines, but they looked like they were 19" wheels...nice setup, BTW.

Default SC430 Chromes and Caliper covers

Did a chrome exchange and added Red caliper covers to dress up my SC430, any comments or suggestions on how it looks or what other things I can add.

The chrome wheels look great and are a nice contrast to the body. The caliper covers are a nice touch too. They look even better when the car is in motion.

The rear seat cover is da-bomb. I think I read that it is a Soarer option correct? Do they come in other colors like saddle and where did you get yours?

Found it on ebay, but the source was Sewell Lexus. When I've seen them, they've only been in black.

Man you guys are making me salivate here with my Black/Red Pebble Beach!!! I need those caliper covers!!!

Do you think they would work on 20"s?

All the pics below are awesome! RottinRich-love the red/ecru SC. My first baby. Enjoy it. Don't get in the seats after you work out always use a towel and don't wear a new black leather jacket that is high-end on the ecru leather-it is so porous that it will show everything!!!

I'm not gonna lie i am surprised to see you guys actually wanting these. Someone posted a link to them over on my.is (is300's) and they were ridiculed and made fun of to death and we thought only ricers who drive honda's would buy them.

I'm not gonna knock you guys as they do look kinna nice and its your choice. However i just couldnt do it i have images of going to lexus for some service and the service manager handing me back my plastic caliper that came off haha.
