New shoes (finally)

New shoes (finally)
So after a lot of debates with myself regarding which wheels to get, I finally got the upper hand and picked the SSR Vienna Rossetti, Mark from Prestigious Society just happened to have them on Sale for the CL members a month or so ago, so I couldn’t pass on the opportunity
So I went with a 19” staggered setup, 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the back
I wrapped them in what seems to be the best rubber out there, some Michelin PS2 245/35-19 front and 275/30-19 rear.
I choose to conservatively go with the 19” because I wanted to keep the same wheel diameter, keep a nice smooth ride and avoid rubbing at all cost.
I’m delighted with the result, handling is so much better the PS2 grip much more than the OEM Bridgestone, the ride quality is so much better than the OEM run flats and the looks, man the looks...
For theses that do not follow this forum carefully, my car is a '07 GS450h, lowered on Tanabe NF210, Tint is GSN40 Greystone, 6k HID, 7k Fog and LED parking light. That is all for now, there is much more to come...

I painted them, here is the thread detailing the process: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=291932
Actually with the hybrid being heavier, the Tanabe springs settle much lower than with a GS350 or GS430/GS460, and as I say in the post, I wanted to really avoid compromising the ride quality and comfort, so no 20" for me... Oh and BTW I should still get an A for originality and uniqueness...
