totally agree, the stock wheels on the sc430 is horrible, no matter which one.

Yeah, with a new cover on top of it. I don't understand why Lexus is too cheap to just remake those wheels.

Since they're offering this model in such a nice coat of black paint, I think they should also offer a set of black wheels with a polished chrome/silver lip...


I saw a black MB coupe (SL, I believe) with exactly the type of wheels as described above, and it looked absolutely stunning... Despite the colour of the wheels, the car STILL looked incredibly classy (unlike most cars that have distinct-coloured wheels).

Nice interior, has a show car look to it, but Toyota is holding out on us... The red & black are nice. There 4 available interiors, they offer 3 and made the 4th a special ed. Go figure.

OMG it didn't look that red in the computer-rendered pics posted by Sick.

Staring at all that red in the new pics is now making me dizzy, eyes sore and plain sick.
I can't imagine sitting in that bloody thing and driving it in any extended trip.

Do they REALLY have to make the interior that shiny, bright, red? X-Q (Where's that "puke" smiley when you need it?)

I bet Witherspoon will be showing up in this car in the next Legally Blonde. That's about the only place this car won't look out of place.

I would like it better if they use two-tone red & black leather for the seats & door panels, & carbon fibre instead of the black wood for this car.
