My best friend ditched the factory 18x8 wheels on his 2002 SC430. He is giving the wheels to me no charge. I plan on cleaning them up and throwing it on my xB2. Anyone seen an identical setup? Offset and width numbers indicate they will fit no problem,, i will probably deal with the TPMS issue using the PVC method. If any talented photoshoppers can show me a sample pic..Much appreciated!

They could look interesting if the center disk was colormatched (depends on the xB color I guess...) Definitely worth trying for the price!

Personally I never liked those wheels, they look like shiney hubcaps......

That's a lot of metal and a lot of chrome; how much do those things weight?

18" hubcaps :D
i think they'll look good

they do resemble the factory hubcap dont they esp the style i have actually the centercap is like a dinner plate. underneath its a 5 spoke strong aluminum factory wheel. i have one creative idea which ill keep to myself. and anything is better than steelies right boys?

thanks for the ops

here yo go bud. This was a quick and dirty PS job. Ive been playing with some wheels myself so this was fast. They look alittle big because the picture I used(thankyou whomever) had 19s-20s on it. I think the look good and for free you cant beat it. Im sure with some paint or PC you can make the wheels look even better. Good luck.

I was about to post this and noticed I got beaten. Here it is anyway.

For a free set of rims, I think it would look pretty good.

redline8k

yours looks good too!

i think that actually looks really good

randomsuper

just be sure to go real low. what's the offset? +38 up front and +25 in the rear would be uber sexy.

Here's the take from a Lexus forum:

One of the biggest complaints from most SC430 owners is the stock wheel design.
The design from 2002 to 2004 (so called pie-plates) was just not pleasing at all.
With the 2005 wheel cover changed to 5 spoke style, it looks a lot better.
And in 2006 they once again changed the design and now it's a full alloy 18" setup, no more wheel covers.
For the record, the stock SC430 wheels are 18x8 +45.

Heavy, and look like bad cheese IMHO (and the opinion of many owners).

DO IT!! I was looking at the same wheels a while back but the centers were blackish/gunmetal colored
