Default my wheel dilemma

i've been looking at wheels for-ev-er. i cannot find any i like and/or i think would look really nice on my coupe.

today i went to the bank and realized that my eyes always look toward a particular car in the parking lot (lexus is f). and i thought, heck, it's the wheels!

so here's my dilemma....i love these wheels. they are real clean and interesting. but they are for a lexus! any advice would be appreciated.

I've always been a fan of Lexus wheels, however the offset and bolt pattern are completely wrong. There are companies that make replicas, but everyone knows how i feel about those :/

On a side note, the real lexus wheels are usually about 1200-2000$ a piece, my mom bent one on her old IS250 and it wasn't cheap

These DPE's are a winner for me Emily. I think these in a darker shade would look BANANAS on your car.

Anyone know the model # of these?
