Default New Wheels!!! IS250 Chrome

Thought I'd share my wheels. Simple and beautiful. I didn't want anything that stood out too much. I am very pleased.

They look great! I forgot how recessed SCs rims were...I just recommend spacers.

When we got our 2003 Egyptian Sand Pearl SC four years ago the first thing I did was change the wheels. I got the exact same wheels in chrome. We think they look great. Enjoy yours.

Like the wheels themselves. Hate the Chrome. Personal taste that's all. Too garish for me.

Looks good. To each his own on the chrome vs not chrome. I like the Platinum look. Like the black pearl effect.

The decals came from XenonMods.com, rjcalnan@xenonmods.com, http://www.xenonmods.com

I had my detail guy use heat resistant paint, 3 coats. Hair dryer between coats.

I think it depends on the color of the car...I would agree if the car was gold, chrome doesnt look good. But with black, chrome definitely looks better.

i don't like chrome anything on my cars. it's already a lexus...chrome to me screems "look at me, im luxury!" just my own opinion though, we are all individuals. porsche and vettes got it right.. keep it simple and mean at the same time. hardly any badging and no chrome (plastic) trim. i've eliminated all of the chrome on my vehicle except for the side mirors which are next.
