Mister hellaflush has gone FULL TUCK!

Now I understand why you went with the 18x8.5 +50 rears and 18x8 +45 fronts.
Do the wheels still have the OEM 255/40 and 225/40 tires?

Looks really good, but I'm wondering if the wheels would look better in black chrome, Lexus' own gunmetal, or something along that line.

Meh, air suspension is coming off next week so it's not going to tuck anymore.

I have 255/35/18 and 215/35/18 on them. The fronts are too narrow.

I tried to stick to OEM look. I don't want my car stolen when I move out to Oakland in the next few weeks.

It needs 225/40-18 on the fronts.

Then you should have just put the steelies and hubcaps back on.

Those are probably thrown away. I left them in SoCal when I picked up my chromies.

Looks good. Not a bad wheel on there really. Looks stock, unless you know what you are looking at.

No... he's just thinking what might look good against SW in general, like when I went toward Black Chrome or Gunmetal. Not right or wrong, just a different perspective.
