It'll be interesting to see if the SC430 wheels start selling for more on ebay now because of this improved wheel cover?!?!??

hmmm... I also wonder if there is a way to LOCK them in place... I anticipate some theft of these expensive covers in high risk areas of Miami, LA, NY, Chicago, Detroit... etc..

Ya, those rims do look pretty nice! What size are they? Does anyone have a picture of an SC430 with those rims on it?

Wow, so they are only wheel covers and not a completely different rim. Well, they look nice anyways. Just looking at the photo, it's hard to tell that it is just a wheel cover.

those were one of many other covers Lexus planned to put on the next model year, but nothing for sure yet, they were voting on wich lexus should use.... that picture i think was the one the western region choose... i think that will be available as option from the dealership for the next model year.

thats right, we do have that color in the states as Nieman Marcus edition, which is called something like "noble edition" in Japan I am not sure.
