Default Which wheels should I get

I am looking to get new wheels and am stuck between two different ones. I'd like people's opinion... I have 2016 ES350 Metallic Grey color.

  2. https://www.discounttire.com/buy-whe...irvana/p/20400
Two very different styles. I can't decide if black or chrome looks better on the Metallic Grey exterior. Appreciate people's input.​​​​​​​

Well either would look good on a color metallic grey color. Personally like the black but I'm souring on black painted rims as they tend to peel off after a while. I'd keep looking. Those chrome ones are pretty funky.

If those are the two you are sure about then I would vote for the black ones

I didnt say that, lol.
I am currently looking for black rims myself and rather than inserting my opinion on different wheels I was just keeping my vote to the two you had listed.
If you are a Costco member you may want to check their Velox wheels prices as well.

What brands have you had that peeled? I am looking for black rims too. Do you use touch-up paint to fix?

Do you like these two wheels based on design alone or is there something about the brands you like? What brought the decision down to these two?

Gotcha. I plan on using Discount Tire as well since I have a location very close to me that has outstanding reviews. I called them recently and the guy said they could order almost any wheel I wanted and they would match or beat competitors prices. That probably makes things more complicated since it opens up more options for you but it is good to know! I like the Velox wheels and have considered them, I also like Enkei because they seem to have a good reputation for quality for the price tier that I am looking (less than ~$200 per wheel). There are many high end, super quality brands but they are just way above my budget! My thought process is to find a few companies with a good reputation, then find a style i like within those brands, then find the best price. Hope some of this helps!

I have the ones that came with the lexus, crafted line rims. It's the multi spoke one that the es's have but not silver, its black. Mine have chips all over it. The rims I want I can justify buying so idk I might just get these powder coated. I have to get quotes on that too. I also did buy universal black ink touch up pens, just havnt tested it out yet.
