My buddy's Lexus SC300

Tell what you guys think, he is thinking about changing the blue to black on the wheels. I told him not to do this... It looks so damn sweet like that!

He'll be reading this thread. SO please give your inputs!

I'd do the black, and I'd also get some tires that properly fit those rims. I can't stand when the sidewall is spread out to fit on a rim that is too wide for it.

It looks so much better with diff. tires and the wheels black. Still looks good like it is though.

He deff. needs new tires. All in all, though, the car looks sweet. Personally, I'd change the color on the wheels to white to match the car, but black would certainly be better than that blue.

No, that's a 1jzgte.. it's basically a 2.5 litre version of the 3 litre 2jzgte .
i think those wheels are too wide for that car.

Wheels are too wide....get new onesthat fit better and tires that fit the rim. Why do people buy 195's and stretch them over rims? do they think riding on your sidewalls help? other than that it's a beautiful car....just right now the rims are killing it.

leave the rims, fix the tires, window tint and a non tacky spoiler would do nicely.

1) Black wheels
2) Fitting tires
3) Tasteful lip/spoiler
4) Better looking exhaust

I think the black or even white would look better. I agree on the bigger tires too. How long did the 1jz swap take him?

My opinion: Charcoal grey on the rims, proper fitment for the tires, no spoiler at all. Spoilers, wings, etc are best left in 1998 or on cars that will NEED them. Unless your buddy is doing some serious drag racing, there's no need to make the car look ridiculous.

Looks fine as it is (except for the tires), Just fix the right hood/fender gap so they line up, and maybe the front bumper cover (looks a little wavy in the pic, but that may be pixellization).

take a look at pics of most any drift car and they will have tires stretched like that. dont remember why they do it, probably makes it easier to drift.



The biggest hole, is the illusion of invulnerability.

no, it's the popular style(per a friend of mine who lived there for the past 6 years) in Japan. it still looks silly.

Bleh! Say no to blue wheels! In my book, that's just as disgusting as the gold rims on WRX's!

Black.

No. Those look pretty darn good if the car color is right (white, black, or blue ONLY). The blue rims on the white car... Not good.
