Congrats on the purchase.
Good luck on finding any decent wheels for 2K. Tires for 20's will cost a minimum $1k alone. If you want half decent wheels, you would be looking at around $3500 for 20's and $4500 for 22's. That is on the cheap side. The norm would be around a grand higher. Of course, you can get a lot more expensive.

congrats on your new car
- nav override, a lot of us here have the override unit. that's the best imho since it doesn't void any warranty. check with the guy and see if he's going to cut / splice any wires. more than likely he has to. and if so, you are kissing warranty goodbye on all electronics, that means your ML audio and nav
- rims, for 2k (i assume) you would be lucky to get 20s. if you really want to spend 2k including tires, i say look for use. otherwise there are no good wheels you can get out there. 4k is more like it. if you want to go 22s, prepare to pay
- ebay, that's no good. for 199 it can only be knock off or whatever. don't get that. get the real deal from japan. there are quite a few selections, but they would run you around 600-700. yes, you have a lexus (one of the most expensive lexus), so you gotta pay to play
- other ideas? look for threads started by me, GSXOTIC, Saudi. i think we have relatively more mods on the cars

I should have clarified, these were OEM wheels. Their sole purpose was for mounting snow tires for the winter. So they were top quality, but they were used, and I'm sure aftermarket wheels would be more.
Still, you can buy top quality (not knockoffs, but they are available there as well) aftermarket wheels on eBay for less than the retail stores, but again you need to make sure its a reputable seller.
