Are there any deep lip wheels you haven't tried? That seems to be the common denominator, all of the wheels have the deep lips. And deep lips is so '90's. I'm thinking back to the deepest of deep lip MK Motorsports wheels I had on my BMW 850CSi back in the day. In the '90's, of course.

It's time you rocked some modern concaves for a freshened-up look.

I like the recap of the wheels you put on the E. I think the Radenergie are on top, and I agree your car is good looking so whatever you put on will compliment it.

Who is your wheel source?

Now that I've seen the pics of the car on the Works a couple time, I'm gonna dare a comment....from one wheel afficianato to another.

As I said before, the VS-KF is my all-time favorite wheel. That doesn't mean I believe it works (pun) in every application. I think of it more for a sport car or sport coupe. So even though it looks hot on the E, I don't think it looks better than some of the others. Although chrome is not my forst choice I think the Works would look better on the E if they were all chrome. Chrome definitely works well with the GFM paint on the car.

Still, it's a hot car with hot wheels. Good work!

Those wheels are the truth bro. Props for originality. I like it. Needs some centercap. Also, these look like they are close to body color but JUST off? Seems like they would be wicked in gunmetal or dark bronze center. Nice job.

Nice and Different, looks a bit yellow from the pictures, possibly the sun... but maybe color matched faces would look better, but my vote goes towards your other wheels...

Naw, I don't think the wheel belongs only on a Lexus. Like I said, sport coupes or sport sedans. The Lexus SC and IS models would be best from that marque but I can see this on Benz coupes easily. I'm not one who believes Japanese wheels only for Japanese cars.

Yes, I did have a platinum colored SC300. It was my favorite car of all time and I regret that I sold her every day of my life. It was the best car ever made...period.

yeah they look a bit yellow cuz of the sun. I was never a fan of color matched wheels especially in white, they seem too girly imo.

Holy cow! From this angle it looks way better. Geez! Forget my other comments. This is the stuff right here!

At what point do you have to seek professional help for your addiction?

Just kidding of course, while your current wheels are not my personal favorite I have to give you props on continually keeping your car fresh.

Can you tell me which front lip you have, I really like it.
