Everyone I've ask so far said no, and those who didn't say that they said hell no! Would it really look that bad? :drinking: here's a quick photoshop of what it might look like. I was thinking about giving my car a lexus style classy look to it. Come on there 18" Chrome

It looks ok if you like those rims... I see a lot of SC 430s (even the ones with very mature people... 50+) change the rims on it... lol

Those Lexus rims are ugly to begin with. You are better off buying your rims from somewhere else (Wheelmax or America's Tire Co./Discount Tire)

Yo... I was thinkin the same thing too, putting the SC rims on Solara.
However I would remove the center cap so it will become a 5-spoke.

It will look good imo (w/ center cap removed)

I'm not sure if I like the rims, but the 18" tires looked fantastic. It give the car a more aggressive look. Will 18" tires work on the Solara? Nice Photoshop job!

what are you talking about? you need to have an 18' rim in the first place. :-?

in fact some people are rolling on 19's

i think a lowering gives the car the "aggressive" look
