"6M3 - Silver Spruce Metallic" is the original color code. This is a repaint and the Sacramento-based body shop (TnT Autobody) matched the color deploying several coats and 2 or 3 clear coats giving it the depth. With the body kit (not a very expensive one) the repaint was under $6K.

Here is a link to a photo album depicting the process (select slideshow)....

Test fit some 16" OZ wheels I got off craigslist as stock ride replacements. The picture doesn't do it justice, they are basically new, and look really nice compared to my faded and dated stock wheels. They have brand new snow tires so for $125 I think I got a pretty good deal. Probably going to swap tires with my all seasons then throw the winter ones back on in December. I'd prefer stock chrome but they seem impossible to find in good condition.

you got a good deal for the wheels and tires, but i think they make the car look cheaper now. I would just powedercoat or refinish the stock wheels. They look much classier if you are not looking to lower the car or go up in size from stock

I honestly bought the set just for the winter tires, the owner had them on a GS and his wife crashed it the day he took these off. He also included aftermarket lug nuts and the receipts for everything. I think if I throw the GS center caps in them they'd look great. I've been searching for an OEM set of Lexus wheels for a while, I just can't find any for a decent price. Used sets with rash and need tires for $900-$1200.... Tire places want more then I paid for the whole set to swap the tires between these and the oem wheels so I'll probably just wait until winter to use these as planned anyway. Center caps still had plastic protectors...
