Not my cup of tea, but I wouldn't say it looks bad either.

Personally, if I were to color coat the face of the wheel, I would go with the color of your car.

I like it a lot. Looks smooth and yes, different. I think the gold could only work on a white car though, but it works well, IMO. BTW, I like mesh wheels. Some peeps may not this look just b/c they don't like mesh, so keep that in mind.

Ricky,

I personally think the gold works really well with White, in fact..it might only work well with white.

Gold is tacky on cars. I also think it is lowered to much. If you like it you should do it.

Just because I said it looks like a civic with a kit doesn't mean it's an insult.
If I said it looked like a ricer than I would have insulted him.
The only reason I said that is the color combination looks like something you would see on a Honda, Supra, RX-7, or something on display at SEMA.
There are plenty of civics that look sweet.
The car looks nice but the colors for a Lexus just doesn't look right, but to each his own.

The wheel shape is not bad. I think that the photo shop does not show wheels in the natural light (that the rest of the car is in), giving them a little "evil glow" (reddish/orange-ish). That's my only reservation.

Nice wheel but I think it will look much better in silver.
