Hi all... I was driving past the local Lexus dealer and spotted a 2008 IS350 with the new finish 18" wheels. First time seeing them in person... the new finish looks goods. For comparison, I took a shot with my 2007. Does anyone have any good pictures of the new color wheels on a silver car? I'm tempted to get these after seeing them in person...

 

Put a good sealant on your wheels and they'll really shine - they look dull in the photo.

IMO, the new wheels look coated in brake dust, but I know others have said positive things about them.

 

You Lexus 00agent . I really have to say the new finish of the factory wheels is quite nice though!

 

i'm waiting for the '09 rims.

 

I like 06-07 more than coated 08'.

That's why I did the front brakes TSB

 

Hahaha!

 

I think that's why Lexus made them that way. I did a crap job of cleaning mine the last time I washed my car and it's hardly noticeable.

not the best picture of the 2007 wheel finish as it had been raining earlier in the day...

 

Looks nice!

 

Myself, with a 2006 in TP, I prefer my wheels over the 2008s.

 

I like the 2008 rims, but it depends on the color u are putting them on.

 

I love the new finish...

 

^^ Yes - they are my favorite as well!!

I think the regular silver wheels are just well... regular...

Here are my 2008 Wheels...
