My taste/👀 appeal more towards contrast. I would go with the silver wheels on a black Sc.

Is the bottom a dark metallic silver? If so I recommend that. Would look nice on black

please stay away from XXR. the last thing you wanna do is go cheap on your SC.

the bottom coat is like a dark metallic silver. and will look very clean on a black SC.

just save your money for a much better rep set or save up 500$ 4 times and you can get yourself a real set!

Don't waste your time or money with fake wheels. Just save your money and buy the real thing!

If you like those wheels look at the XXR 527 F

New forged mononblock design....they are double the price of regular 527

Easier said than done. I've had my SC for 8 or 9 years now, and I still haven't been able to save up enough cash for my dream wheels (work meister s1 in bbf finish) after all these years.

If you think like that, a lot of parts cost as much as the car. hahaha

Imagine if supra LCA didn't fit, then you'd be spending 980 + tax for each LCA from lexus.
