Default Custom OEM rims.. What do you all think?

I was meeting my grandparents for lunch yesterday and I saw their new car and rims. I was like that was a nice option for the color coded rims. She goes they came in this horrible black and she had them painted to match the car. I just think it looks so good and Lexus should offer it. What do you all think? To be honest I wasn't expecting my grandparents to "pimp their ride"

Maybe so but I prefer the black ones on mine. Yours are a bit over the top for my tastes but I am glad you did something to help your grandparents.

I'm old fashioned - prefer nice aluminum wheels. No black, no colors. Just my opinion.

Looks good ; noticeable, but not the center of attention.

I still remember color-matched mirrors and bumper covers were options but I preferred them to be black. Now it is not easy to find black mirrors and bumpers unless we pay more for "protection package".

I like the color-matched wheels. Maybe it will be standard in the future, followed by color-matched tires.

Not a fan...but glad they like it. I think black works the best for these rims to not draw attention to the plastic portions and helps accentuate the silver portions.
