2 small questions????
Hey i was thinking about some new wheels come summer time and i was looking for a few suggestions. Whats the characteristics of a luxury wheel? A VIP wheel? I know its big lips & what else? Pics are appreciated!!
And the other question is tint. Whats your opinion on tint? Like it or not? At some point your gonna say hey i'm too old for this, and i want people to see me in this car. But on the other hand i still want it. Sometimes i just dont want to be seen...ya know...... Thing bout that is if i get it i dont wanna go light. Its either super dark or nothing.
Whatcha think???

LIP doesn't equal VIP. It's about fitment and stance first. There are tons of wheels that are considered so called "VIP" wheels that do not have any lip.
Of course picking a wheel for your ride, it should compliment it. It shouldn't look awkward or strange on the car but at the end of the day it's your personal preference that prevails.

I always go 2 tone tints, light the front and limo in the back. 
As for the wheels, they needs to be multipiece, 20' in size, and nice offsets.
Maybe you can post some wheels you chose/ like??

I still have the stock 17" on mine, so I'm not sure about wheels and what to get. As for tint, I'm getting then in Feb. (after Xmas shopping is paid off) and I first thought about 5% Limo for rear side and back (NJ only allows this much, legally), but after thinking about it and having driven at night about 30% of the time now, I might reduce to 15-20% instead.
20x8 20x9, What's the offsets? They look like they would suck in when you install them.
Probably look at some multipiece with custom offsets.

I agree with everyone that the type of wheels you posted is not for a lexus. Any chryslers or other domestics will do.
Vice versa that these jdm wheels won't look good in the domestics.
