Put these on the other day. Should I get them powder coated matte black or sell/trade them?

Don't powdercoat them. That finish looks good just like that.


Only suggestion I have is lower it when you can.

Wheels and paint look great! I would leave the wheels as they are...you'll see how much better they will look after the winter (dropped height). What did you do with your other wheels?

I have to agree with the majority, They look GREAT just the way they are. In my opinion a Lexus is best when she's kept like the best women I know. Simple and clean. They're truly beautiful that way.

Thanks everyone for the compliments! I traded my gnosis GS3's plus cash for the Volks. I figured I could get a trade with these much easier. I like the way they look but wanna keep my options open for a trade or cash.

Fair enough, you shouldn't have any problems trading those wheels in the future. Very clean, and often sought out....

Finally pieced together my door panels! I recently sold my UltraSuede armrests for Alcantara Suede to match my roof and center armrest. Got the carpet from a club member DONE!! Can't wait to put em on. Tried a couple of hours but need some more hardware. What do u guys think?
