The Rod Millen had these wheels on their car for about 2 years before the car was sold. Here is the pic.

Bu the way, I forgot to say that these wheels I was going to get before I got my AV3s. Absolutely gorgeous wheels. They look better in person! They are hard to find at a good price thought. But the prices on that website you found are absolutely crappy. Even RMM has them for cheaper.

Pretty nice wheels.

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS when they're running (like the pic of RMM showcar) but TOO Brabus-Monoblock V lookalike IMO.

Breyton = BMW Tuner...don't do it! You don't want the reliability of your LEXUS to go down do you?!

I don't know about yall but I'm a broke, my dad bought my 430 but I have to pay for my mods so I want a cheap 19 I like the Mille Miglia Evo's but I want a 10 inch rear not 8.5 all around. Any idea's something in the Miglia range would be nice.

erickgs3 - If you like those breytons than you should check out some of Blitz's wheels . I don't know the name but they have a model that resembles that one.

Chino78 - First off, is your Dad cool with you fixing up his car? Does he understand that he can't drive the car the same way with 19's as he does with the stock 16's or 17's? If he's cool with that, that's pretty sweet...don't know too many parents that are OK with their kids fixing up their rides...

Secondly, if you're broke, fixing up your Dad's GS is the LAST thing that should be on your "to do" list...why not save up money and get your OWN ride to fix up? Now if your DAD actually wants to get the rims, he should spend some more money and better rims than Mille's...afterall, he spent the extra cash to get the 430 over the 300 and to get the GS over a Taurus...right? Don't put Taurus class rims on a Lexus!

ErickGS3 - I have 20" HRE Model 543's in a machined finish (aka: diamond finish)...it's sorta shiny but not gawdy bling-bling style like chrome...although these rims (due to the lack of a large surface area) might not look bad in chrome...

Anyways, I picked HRE's because A) Their forged wheels. Strong and light. B) I like the style of the 543 (and other rims that have a similiar style) C) I got a sponsorship deal with them (though that came AFTER I made the decision to get HRE's) since my GS is a show car in development...and D) They make 20" forged wheels (no other company does currently, that I know of).

Here's a picture of 'em along with my AP Racing/Stillen 6-piston 13.56" rotor brake upgrade...

Cipher - I like the Lowenharts also but they're heavy as hell. I picked HRE because they're forged, not cast and I could get them in the Machined finish...plus with the custom offset, I was able to get that perfect setup both techincally and visually...something you can't do with "off the shelf" wheels w/o doing some "trickery" (spacers, fender rolling, etc.)...plus, HRE's are tad bit more exclusive than Lowenharts
