$1200 is a bit of a small budget so you should keep an eye on the classifieds for some good deals. Good luck

I just bought Lumarai 17" chrome Morrow wheels for a steal of a deal at National Tire and Battery for $225 each. I wanted to keep 17" size with no stagger. The box comes labeled as "The Perfect Fit for Lexus". I went this route to avoid any fit issues.

Accepts Lexus O.E. Wheel Lugs
Perfect Lexus Wheel Offset
Lexus Compatible O.E. Center Cap
Accepts Lexus O.E. Air Sensors
Hub-Centric for Lexus

They offer black gloss, silver, and chrome in a few styles in staggered fitments. I was also able to buy chrome OEM center caps from the Lexus dealer to replace my painted wheel silver cap and new chrome flat seat lugnuts from LAwheel.com. LAwheel can do some very cool stuff with wheels I have never seen before.

Read up for peace of mind.

Sewell Lexus of Texas also sells OEM wheels which at your budget will buy you 2 wheels. Your budget is not going to be high enough to get a wheel of 18"+ that looks good.

ConceptOne CSL5.5 in either matte silver with polished lip, or matte black with gloss black lip. 19s available in staggered fitment, and step lip. I was going to go with these until I found a set of SSRs. B2designs gave me a great price on them, I'd suggest checking these wheels out.

I forgot to mention the Lumarai Wheels also have a variety of lip sizes up to 3". In case you need to brush your teeth and you don't have a mirror.

With a budget of $1200 maybe some Enkei wheels or some used Vossens. You can always keep saving and get something more too. Its not like our cars look bad on stock wheels
