Strip for me, shows more thought and reflection on the history of these.

Not everyone will appreciate that but it gives the car a lot of kudos.

I really love those Toyotas, sorry I never owned one

17" ATS Präzision
Satin Black with Double Polished Rim

Rear 225/45 R17 8.5Jx17 ET39 5x114.3

Hard to say as its an unusual wheel, If it were me it would depends on how much they cost but its not a bad looking thing. I will have to find a set of wheels for my own car soon.

Edit, found a picture of them on a car and IMO looks a little busy.

No, just want something a little bit lighter and a different style. Something like these.

Completely wrong for the car in the pic without a doubt.
As you say, an unusual wheel - only certain cars could pull it off. Something mean looking.

on hindsight a bit tacky alright..!

I think F SPORT ones are what to get, only I seen 19" so far and way too costly., actually i might just get mine done dark graphite. I dont have a whole lot of room if I want OEM wheels.

What kind of car is it that you are putting the alloys on? Is it the Volkswagen as pictured above?

Jaysus, didn't realise he posted the Lexus too.

Hachiko, definitely don't put those alloys on the Lexus, wouldn't suit it at all.

Only after noticing it now too!

The alloys you have are nice in your car. But if you do want new ones then I'd suggest that you go for original Lexus alloys.

If you really want a change, your own alloys could be powder coated black. Looks well enough here.

Had a great day today around the Cooley Peninsula. Great coffees, ales, soups and breads to boot, what a place.

Pics aren't great, must get up with a proper camera next time.

And oh, don't bring a V8 up the mountains if you expect fuel economy. :P
