Default New Wheels - What do u guys think?

Old wheels were 18X8 +42 alessio wheels with dunlop sport run flat tires 245/40/18. They were on the car when i bought it about 4 month ago, not really my syle so i was looking for something different since i got the car.




New wheels are 17x8 +30 99 mustang svt cobra wheels, tires are 245/45/17.

Don't like either set. That color deserves better. Something with a wide chrome lip maybe. And think about a body kit too. That is a show-stopper in the making.

Dont like. I rather have stock SC rims then anything associated with ford/mustang on a Lexus. Thats just me though. If you like them then thats all that matters.

Sell both for $600, save up $400, and get a better set.

I've seen this done before. Doesn't look bad at all. Sporty, but still has kind of a "stock" look.

Stock 97+ body is perfect with the right wheels and suspension setup. Don't kit this car. Looks good- maybe consider painting them a dark gunmetal?

The first set way better. I am not a big fan of Cobra wheels. Just a simple design. I say put the other set back on. It looks better. IMO.
