Default New Rims - I Can't Decide.

Hey Everyone,

New member here, and recovering lurker on the forums.

I'm in the process of getting new rims for my 2010 IS. I've narrowed down what I want, I thought.

The awesome folks at Lumerai threw a monkey wrench into my plans, with their virtual wheel configurator on their website.

Can some opinionated folks please help with this. The site link is below. I thought I wanted the gloss black w/ mirror rim Kya, but some of the other options looks good too. BTW my car is white.

http://www.lumaraiwheels.com/lexus-wheels-configurator/

Thanks for the help.

If I were to choose from those wheels, I'd go for the Kya in silver.

Oh and welcome to Club Lexus

Silver or black will both work on the KYA. Nice choice

KYA in silver looks good, I would consider those. Do you know what's the estimated price for those are?

Why does Tungsten Pearl looked egg blue on the Paint configurator?

^^ I agree w/Hoovey. But if your set on one of these then I say Kya in Silver or Chrome.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. Much appreciated.

Hoovey - What other wheel packages would you suggest? I'm not 100% locked on these rims.

some may be tried, but they are true. Work, Volk/Rays, Vossen, BBS, Advan, SSR, and Weds all come to mind as better wheels IMO

i think these wheels look nice via the online generator and in wheel only photos... but then i bet when you get them on the car they don't look as good. just like with wheels like TSW.

Here's what they look like on a modded LS. Not as good as the generator bit still look pretty sick.
