Default Opinions on wheels.

I am narrowing down my wheel and color choice. Looking for feedback primarily on the color but if you don't like the wheel that's fine too. I'm not the best PS'er!

Work XT7:

Gray/Gunmetal Finish:




Bronze Finish:

I prefer the bronze one. IMO, it offers a better contrast to the matador red color of your car.

Yea, bronze is much better choice, blends nicely with body color, but NO to blue lug nuts, it doesn't look right

Gunmetal. Paint your calipers baby blue to match the lugs. That would looks so hot.

I'm more of a lip person for Lexus too, but I can honestly say the IS, 2IS and SC really play wheels with this type of design well, lends a more athletic presence. Now on a LS460 it would be a horse of a different color! lol
