Which ones do you guys think. i feel like im spilling the beans but my buddys down here are not giving me input. thanks guys.

edit... the car already has an auto couture kit and will be painted glacier frost mica, slammed as far as possible with tien flex with edfc. not looking for speed but just going for show quality.

prices on wheels...

savini sv25 - 20x9 +38 20x12 +35----5400 with nittos 255 30 front and 305 25 rears. similar to LRDs

AC aristos - 19x9 +38 19x11 +17 ---- +/- 5000 w tires. not sure on size but probably 255 30 and 285 30 or 25
I say go with Savini's maybe in a two tone, chrome face with the glacier in the windows or all brushed face, tough call.And if you go with the 20x12's have Tu from Savini call me,before he builds your wheels so that i can correct him on that Offset.Because it's a good thing I work at wheels store that has a full blown machine shop.When I was finish with the wheels they were no longer a 35mm offset.... Their fully aware of it now !!!..Good luck man what ever you do. It sound like it's going to be a beautiful car when you finish.And thanks for the compliment,much appreciated..

thanks a lot LRD. i was gonna go with the ac wheels but i just love the look of the savini and always have evn before the sv23s and 25s etc... came out. the offset is kinda up in the air for me but i think i do wanna roll the fenders a bit and run some negative camber. i like the super flush look but i just wanna know if the 305's are gonna fit under there. they told me you worked for a shop that did a lot with savini. what do u think with a +30 in the rear? i love the aggressivness. me and miltdog got something coming for the club lexus community this summer. =P. thanks LRD

20x12 with a 30mm offset even with negative camber will still stick out a little.Unless your doing some kind of fender flare.And also keep in mind there will be a little bit of rubbing on the inside wheel well,because of much back spacing there is!!!......I guessing it's the price we'll pay for having 12's and a slammed Sc....

well ima trying to eliminate the backspace on the wheel as much as possible. the 30 will look more aggressive also and im not gonna be driving the car really anymore so i wont worry bout tires but like once every year and a half or 2 years. ima roll and pull the fenders so i can have this offset with this width. is it still possible

Well, they are a 12 inch wide rim.. also, its a lil bit concave causing the center to stick out more, while the spokes stay deep
