Car is looking great.
I like how you kept the stock Toyota look, because I really prefer OEM rims to aftermarket (they always look cheesy and too 'try-hard'). Not to mention, they are 20s!

I was thinking of putting some 19" LS wheels on mine.... but I've got to debate the costs/benefits.

Are you planning on putting on a spoiler? I know it is just a lip, but it really sets the car off, makes it look sporty

When you calculate the dollar value of the benefit, please post.

Any benefit was meant to be purely aesthetic.

Side note, everyone can tell from your post history that you are a troll.
Thanks for your contributions to society.

Thanks a lot. I used to love the look of big flashy chrome rims but I guess I'm growing up lol. I did quite a bit of research on different Lexus/Toyota OEM rims and I was pretty set on a couple different sets until I realized a lot of the 19" rims on the IS-F/LS/GS-F were to wide and would need substantial work to make fit. I was between the RX 19" and these Venza wheels and I came across a really good deal on the Venza rims.

As for the spoiler I would love to put one on I'm just a little hesitant because of the drilling into the trunk lid involved.

Thanks for the comments

I agree completely, I had another good thread closed due to comments that got out of hand between another fellow and I, now looking back I should have just kept my mouth shut like theses people with no input should. There wouldn't have been a problem in the first place.

I ask you please MIKEPA please stay off of my threads, they are for people looking to contribute to the conversation or add real input.

Thanks in advance.

At least I don't call people names, like you did.

Too many people, like you, use terms like 'cost/benefit' or claim they are 'investing' in their car. They're not, they are, and you are, spending money on their car they will never recoup when they sell it.

I spend money on my vehicles, but I don't pretend I am investing in them. It's an expense.

SICK350 - I'll stay out of your threads since you are not looking for real input or contributions, just compliments. See ya.

Thanks mike I appreciate it. No one ever looks at a car as an investment lol, everyone knows cars depreciate in value no matter what you do them. The only benefit you get from a car is how they make you feel while driving them and that's what really matters! The real problem is contradicting every word another person says and making everything you read into a negative battle. When you have some real input or suggestions that have to do with the topic at hand feel free to post them but until then please treat people with a little more respect.

New cars depreciate, classic cars are investments...

My understanding is Spoiler is double side taped.

If that's the case then I would for sure.

The wheels look good on your car! How much do the wheels weigh?
