Question These wheels on a 2002 SC430?

Just wondering if you guys like these wheels for our vehicle. I would probably go with 19x8.5" chrome & 245/35-19 tires. I don't want to lower the car but I need to get rid of the run-flats. If any one could photoshop them that would be great. Let me know:

I think they'd look very nice. The botom line is "do you like them?". If you do then go for them !

I agree with Deniska. I think they look a lot like the TRD's already offered by Lexus as a replacement. I would go with something with a bit simpler design.... something like GeneArch's. They tend to better complement the design of the car.

If you buy those AVOID potholes as in 19" form they are not very strong.. Besides the rim looks a bit too busy in my humble opinion..

Yes, the Zenettis are cheap but I will only have them on 6 months out of the year. I want the Magnifiques but can't justify spending $5K on wheels & tires. I still don't know what I'm going to do but this is for sure: if you put the wrong wheel on this car it will ruin the entire look.

I have 19" ld5's on my clk430 and they get bent one every two months as i live in downtown houston and the roads are terrible. however the 20" cheaper brand wheels on my sc430 have never been bent and i drive it alot more. But I do think almost anywheel except the window shade wheels in the other page look good on the sc430. i went with something with more wheel than air on the sc430 because i thought it made the car look futuristic.

stronger ....i duno about that one. it depends on the make of the wheel. but will ur ride be bumpier? Most Definitely so watch yourself with that as well. drive slow and watch the road.
