Default Need Help Picking Out New Rims

Hey, im a 1st time owner of a brand new red 2010 lexus is 250. I just got the car so now i def want to start customizing it to suit me. the first thing i want to do actually is to put on new rims. however the selection is just so great and there are so many different kinds that i have no clue where to start. im looking to get something that will make it look a lot more sportier but with no intention of actually racing etc etc...please help me out!!

ps ive visited tirerack.com and gone through all the rims. i see some that i like but just dont know how good theyll actually look in person or on the car. any pics of other cars would be great. thanks again

dont buy from tirerack or any other big chain, they say the rims will 'fit lexus' but what you'll get is some weaksause offsets... take your time and surf this forum/your regional board and find out where members get their rims from in your area/or check out the CL vendors.

ALSO~ drop first then rims, a dropped car on stockers will ALWAYS look better than a stock height car on rims...
