What's up People! Starters i would like to introduce myself as LS4HUNNID. I'm new to the Club Lexus forums also a newbie to the 1st Gen LS400. I got a good deal on my ride and added a few things except my wheels they've been on the car since purchased. The brand of the wheels are unknown. I just need your opinion Black or "should have stayed silver....."?

I like them silver, but the black doesn't look bad. I think for your color combo, the silver looks nicer. If the car was slammed the black would look way better!

Also..... I'm not the smartest guy, but isn't the brand of the wheels HP Designs? I might be wrong but it looks like it says that right on your center caps?

I personally think silver was better. Should have at least left the polished lip alone, that's too much black for your color scheme.

Silver > Black, polished lip > black.

that happens for closing the hood with a screw driver or something on the strut tower. the mixed color lenses doesnt even look bad at all.

And the wheels look better silver

Silver is much cleaner, and more fitting for an LS, especially in that color scheme and it's current state.

Black might work with larger spoke wheels and a darker body, but I find it hard to pull of on any LS chassis.
