I need help with RIM selection.

Well, i just moved from Alaska and think it is time to outfit my car with some rims. I have a 2004 LS430 DARK Blue with tinted windows. I was thinking i would like BLACK rims, or DARK Blue with a Chrome lip. If anyone has a 2004 LS430 in Blue, please post pics of our LS430.

I would also like to know what my options are with mirrors, as i am having trouble adjusting my driver side mirror.

I am attaching a pic of my car. Please give me some ideas.

Sounds like the mirror is going bad, if you still under warranty take it into the dealer and have them replaced. I had mine repalaced two months ago due to them acting up.
