New Shoes!
I finally got some wheels on. Only have one picture as the car is dirty and don't want to take picts of a dirty car. Hopefully the LSD and Teins will be on soon. Also, I'm machining new center caps as I don't really like the one large nut for the center.

j/k. I know they are Axis but they are the Mustang GT-R proto wheel. Never seen em on a Lexus yet though. Congrats.

Yeah, you got me. They are for the new 'stangs, but I've always liked the design since they came out and I found an offset that worked. 10.5" R JJ46 and 9" F JJ37 with 285/30s and 245/35s. They are aggressive but not as aggressive as rominl or v8_aristo's. I have about 1.25" to 1.5" clearance from my caliper to the wheel so I should be alright. I will take them back if it doesn't work as I'm going to just get the Bendix from Advance Auto. I know, it's cheap. I am also going to machine some new centers at my boss' home this weekend because I don't really like the current center design.

I wanted something a little different...kind of a racing/lux look. It came out just like I wanted except for the centers. I'm only going to lower it about 1-1.5 inches so I can keep no camber. I hope the centers will make a difference.

They are 20s. I wanted to go with 18s or 19s, but I couldn't find a set I liked in my price range. I wanted the racing style wheel with no exposed bolts like the multi-piece wheels. Hopefully it will be dropped in two weeks after I get the Teins. I'm waiting for Todd to send them out. hint, hint.
