They both look nice on the car. If you decide to sell one set let me know

I like the chrome better. The second is too dull for my taste.

OK OK, the people have spokeN!

I was considering the 18" SC430 rims (pic 2) since I need new tires for my 17" LS430 chrome wheels (pic 1)so it was a good time to upgrade to the 18".

BUt on the silver LS400, yes that chrome really sets it off and makes the old '94 (w/ 100k miles) look nice and up to date. Compliments nicely the existing chrome trims bits around the car.

Almost resembles the factory IS 300 17" rims, but you can't go wrong with 5-spoke

I like the chrome LS 430 wheels; I give credit to those who put in newer OEM wheels on an "old" car

Moda R6's don't look right on a car that big IMO. I say chrome OEM rims for sure.
