Personally I would put the Lexus emblem back on. But I am a person who likes the stock look so don't go by me.

I agree with Greg. I would have also left the border of the grill chrome. But this is all personal preference. It only matters what YOU like.

Look at the LS460/600 Wheel & Tire Details Information sticky at the top of this forum, plenty of examples from one piece to multi-piece wheels.

Not sure Ilike the all black look.....takes away from the unique shape of the front end, which Iove.

Where in PA are you?

you could refinish the stock wheels in black, then black out the windows and tint the headlights for the stealth look

How did you get the emblem removed and not have a mounting base left behind? Is the older style grill different in this regard? On my 08, you have to do some serious modifications to to make it clean.

Have you considered 26" spinners, with the spinning part being like a fluorescent pink? Now that would get some looks! Ok I jest. But some big ole bling-bling chrome wheels look great with black.
