Welcome back...

the decision to put 21's on YOUR car is STRICKLY yours....

If that's your thing...what do you care what other people say....Do it to make yourself happy versus regretting it later on.

If those wheels you got came off a benz, they won't fit on a Lexus anyway. Now you have more reason to get rid of them and get 20's.

Actually, german lug pattern is almost the same 5x112 vs 5x114. The wheels on my acura actually came off of a CLK.... the 21s bolt on fine, it's just that when i turn.... the kit gets in the way....

you don't want to put wheels with 112x5 on a 114.3x5 lug pattern... asking for trouble there.
