Wow, seems like most people agrees.... Chrome on a black GS! I think I'm sold. I'm going to order my wheels tomorrow! I plan on getting the RCK 8.5"F and 9.5"R with 245/40 and 275/35 Yokohama AVS dB. But I think I'm going to get 18"s instead of 19"s. I drive at least 100 miles a day for work so I think 18"s would be more practical for me... even though 19"s would look nice...hmmm... tough decision.

NO CHROME. I'm against chrome in every way. If you want the bling-bling shine bullshit, get HIGH POLISHED rims.

I have a black GS and I have the "Diamond Cut" finish (machine polish)...chrome is heavy, chrome chips, chrome detracts from the design of the rim (this is good if you have ugly rims I suppose!), and chrome is just plain bling-bling. Why not just get it gold dipped instead and you can REALLY attract some attention...it's the ultimate in bling bling!

Seriously, my friend who are into chrome changed their minds after they saw my wheels...NO FAT CHROME! (as Rays would say)

Black centers with a high polished lip is also hot...as is grey/titanium centers with a high polished lip. Bronze looks dope on a dark blue car...

You could always wait and see at the Club Lexus meet before you order if you're coming down this way...

Chrome - you got black on black for a reason, when its clean nothing can touch that look.

Those rims and color kick ***. Understated and very sharp.
