You should add a fatter tire in the rear with a spacer to give it a staggered stance. I think they're OK.

Thx for all the comments guys.

Like I said they look better in person.

Here is a pic of the wheel:


The front is polished, black painted on the back and also between the spokes.
Somehow and at different angles it flows with the car.

I know most of you like aggressive, staggered, flush or whatsoever wheelfitments.
But in Austria (Europe) it's kinda complicated due to all the regulations.
For example it's not allowed to have a flush wheelfitment. The top of the wheels have to bee covered by the fenders.
Also we are not allowed to slam the car. We have to leave at least 4,33 inches ground clearance.
Bodykits? Yeah, only with certificate by the manufactory or the german TÜV.
Well, not that easy to mod a Lexus, especially a SC over here. Most of the dealers don't even know what an SC300/400 is. They were never sold in Europe (mainland).

Anyways, thx again for your comments. Still not sure about the wheels though.

I don't mind them, has a similar style to the Carlsson 1/16 (which I think look great).
