Contemplating whether to get some new rims for my Lexus or not. I quite like the Mania Montana rims, but they only come in 17"/18".
If i'm gonna buy some rims, ideally i want 19's.
Some chromes would look sweet, but with the crappy English weather i suspect they'd need to be cleaned every day, and even then they'd probably still corode.
Opinions?

I'd say something dishy and huge, use Altezza sites to get an idea of look. Having said that, the factory rims do look good, even with the bodykit. Personally I'd throw a non-dating reg on it, late spec dark clusters and a late Sport rear lip.

Thought about it, that was quite a while ago though? Yeah i was looking at getting a new car, but for the first time i'll soon be enjoying cheap insurance. Got a renewal quote for next year of £914 (its £1600'ish at the mo). If i was to get a new car it'd be a Scooby/Audi TT and i'd be paying £2k+ again.

That ickle sport rear spoiler lip is over £400 But yeah think i'll get it put on at my next service, love the smoked clusters too. Angel eyes are on my list too, they look mean on the IS200.

Being 21 makes a huge difference I found! Deep dish rims would look great, bit different too

I quite like rims that spread to the edge of the rim. Suppose i'll have to have a gander at some sites.
