I like your car with the chrome wheels, it is a cleaner look and they contrast well with the red, the blk wheels wont stand out as much.

Thanks, I do too, but there are a few things with my corrent rims that wont work for my future plans. First off, in 2012 I plan on putting gt500 brakes front and rear, and they wont fit unless I have 18" rims. The current 5 spoke rims I have are known to not be very strong due to air pockets. Also, the rear rims on my car weigh about 38 pounds. The xxr 521's weigh only 22lbs. The same as bbs, and those go for alot more. My friend that got the xxr that I got the idea from had bbs before these, and he likes these better. The xxr rims will look better on my car after I get it repainted a darker metallic red like on the new lexus', and get the body parts I want.
