Thoughts about these IS350 Wheels on an SC430

Bgw70, The wheels you are looking at, look semi similar, one spoke less, than the spoke wheels that came on the Pebble Beach models as shown in the photo below. Silver wheels look good with light colored interior IMO. I have the same wheels you currently have and I went through analysis of various types of wheels and even think there is thread in this forum about it. After looking at various wheels, we ended up not making a change because dark bronze color of the inner wheel star plate complimented the camel colored interior with the top down.

Nice wheels!!
You'l be fine with regular rotation, half inch won't do anything, that's what I just did.
I changed wheels and kept the original size tires 245/40/18's from the pie plate wheels i had on, with wheels that are 8"front and 8.5 rears, so far so good. Just don' tell anyone, you'l be the only one that'll know. (Shhh)

Natroth, For your particular color of SC, you absolutely nailed it, those wheels look spectacular! With the top down they compliment the black and silver perfectly.

Good Looks and Financial Prudence
Not every set of rims out there makes an SC430 look prettier/more handsome, some in my opinion are downright ugly !! ........ Your other two convertibles have good reason to be jealous as the new rims have certainly elevated the street appeal and you get to rotate all four tyres as a bonus...yay.
Good looks and financial prudence, congratulations!

LOVE those wheels, BGW! I've always been a fan of the G-Spiders and Tourmalines, but I think these might look even better on the SC430. How did their price compare to the G-Spiders?

I found them on Craigslist and probably over paid at $700...$60 to mount the tires.
thank you for your positive comments!
i hope to make back a few $$$ when I sell the 2007 OEM wheels.
