Default new work shoes

for some reason, i went mesh instead of full faces . it's a completely different look from my forged magnifiques and chrome hr3s. i still kinda regret selling the acs and i bought these just to ease the pain. anyways, what do you guys think?

I like them but I agree with Seize. Mesh wheels match more for the sporty-type cars.

also have to agree, mesh is just sporty. however the VSXX is the king mesh of all time.

I think most of us LS430 owners share the same taste in wheels.

JR ( one member here ) bought them new for 6500, I bought them after he had it for 400 miles for $3600 + a trip to CA to pick it up ( gas about 150.00 ha ).
I have driven on it for 500-600 miles,
so maybe I can sell them for 3000?
