Well...I'm going to stay true to the real side and continue to disapprove of spinners on a Lexus. I'll give up props for winning the trophy but it says more about the type of show than it does about your car. I can't say they look bad but they definitely are out of place on a classy car. It's just my opinion and I don't mean any harm and I'm certainly not a hater. It's just Lexus cars and spinners don't match. I'm glad you like it and I'm sure a lot of other people do also. Again, congrats on the win.

Stock height, so far. Once Coilovers become available, I will consider that as a future modification, but I am in Michigan (we have the worst roads in the USA)

I also have a set of 20" black/polished Lexion Type 203's on order. It seems that anything besides iForged or HRE or Volk is considered "Not for a Lexus". I think they look good, everyone I know seems to agree, and it got A LOT of attention at the DUB show and on the streets.

there's also WALD, Lowenharts, BBS, and many others...i think Davins is a better fit on a lowrider with the classic look than a 06 GS.

Well, I don't like spinners on any cars/trucks, not just a Lexus.

Hey JKashat,

I like the setup. The black looks clean! I was going get black but settled for white. Anyways, I've had my rims with the Tanabe DF210s salmmed 2.75" down for the last 4-5 weeks now and I have the tire pressure warning light "check system" flashing now. Its strange cuz it will flash for 3-4 days and then go fine. And then repeat itself after several days. I suspect that my sensors are not in the new tires. Do you have this problem and what did you do with your sensors from the original tires? Please help anyone if you guys have any thoughts!

When I first installed the Davins I had NO WARNING LIGHT. After about 2 weeks it came on while driving on the highway. The dealer reset the warning light during my 5000 mile service. It was fine until last week, it came back on while driving. I dunno. I guess I gotta go back to the dealer and have them reset it again. I will ask them to explain the procedure to me if it doesn't require anything special.
