I'm one of those who feel that Lexus is about, among other things, understated good taste. Less is more.

jmho, but those things are the epitome of bad taste.........not to mention how they'll adversely affect your handling.

Try to restrain yourself.........

moore is right.. you'll have all this extra inertia going...in circles.

They're pimpin like newports. I wouldn't 'spin' the money for them though.

LOL

Hey if you stare them long enough your screen starts to tilt too..

Agree with all previous comments. That rim tries to capitalize on two bling-bling fads at once: LD1 knockoffs and spinners. Not to mention the weight, and how the money could be put into much better mods (or rims).

Default haters

wasup man,
dont listen to the haters that dont like the chrome and spinning rims. If you like them and you have the cash i say go for it. If i had the RX i would get the deep dish davins, RS3.2 i believe. I have seen a good number of spinnin rims on SUV's and i saw the RS3.2 davins on a mercedes G500 and it looked the best by far.

The name of the window that opens is DiabloVienna. These happen to be knockoffs. Looking on the site, they do sell real LD1's with spinners, at 2X the price.

No prob, Din. I just had no idea Lowenhart would actually make such absurd spinners until you mentioned it, causing me to do a little research. Oh well, I guess those kind of wheels sell right now...
