It looks alright personally I think it largely depends on the color of your ride.. Yeah unfortunately most lexus not just sc owners are into the stupid camber settings where as I am not. Like I said before f everyone else if you like it its good enough for me to appreciate your taste...

Those wheels are epic. Honestly, most of the people on this forum have ruined their SC's by putting hideous and massive wheels with massive offsets on because all they care about are looks not performance which is why I don't post here very much anymore. I'm
running 18x8 +35 350z wheels and the front ones stick out too far so a 45 offset will look perfect.

you are either on drugs or in recovery(methadone)
joey we both had our original posts withdrawn for being honest, these wheels are no better then stocks, nuff said
The style isn't really my cup of tea. They look too 'designed' for an SC, which I (personally) think look best with a simple geometrically shaped wheel (mesh, straight 5 spoke, etc...).
I'm also not one for the hellaflush fad (yeah, I said fad, so all of you fanboys can suck it) but I think they'll still sit pretty far in. My wheels are 18x9 and 18x10, with +24 and +22 offsets, respectively, and they sit literally flush to the fender with no poke.
That all said, what the wheels are and the fact that the design is based on function is awesome. Congrats. I wanna see some pictures of these 8-pot brakes!

[QUOTE=1WILLY1;641520 mongoose your blather . drivel, mumbo jumbo is best left alone, no one asked what ur wheels specs were ......go clean ur room[/QUOTE]
You're right, nobody asked my wheel specs. However, my post was relevant to the thread. Yours was not only irrelevant, it was stupid.

I like them! They have that classic Lexus OEM look. The fact that they draw air into the brakes to assist with lowering temps is definitely cool!!!!!!!!!
Don't worry about the negative comments some of the guys posted up...Being honest is fine...But some people confuse ridiculously rude with honest...and that is incorrect.
Rock the wheels and enjoy them!

"No better than stock" ?
I listed all the ways that these rims are much better than stock. If some of you chose to skip past all of that entirely and straight to the insults, thats not my fault. Many times on this forum I've seen 20+ " rims fitted that are chromed and in my opinion look terrible but I don't try to get people down over it.
These rims are functional not just pretty and shiny. And messing around with camber and spacers, or tire stretching is not such a big craze in the UK. My wheels fit and work and will certainly improve my handling, looks, and allow me to upgrade the brakes in future to anything i want.
And again, thanks to all who like the look of them. This has become a very interesting post, since people literally either love or hate them.

1SickLex: You have a set too right? I have seen the IS pic but not the other 2 they look pretty nice. Did you buy through eBay? I got through a private seller at a much lower price than was listed

I don't think they'll look too bad if you stretch the tires, but all people care about now is how aggressive the lip is. I hope you didn't pay a whole lot for these :\
