One of the hottest wheels out there. See them in magazines all the time. Looks pretty good on our car. Nice work.
I'm one of the few around here who loves chrome.

Wow, I have no rubbing with those same tire sizes and Tanade springs without the need to roll fenders. I wonder why.

460 is heavier, also it has an adjustable suspension setting too that might have something to do with it. tanabe nf springs are not even listed as a supported option for the 460. there are actually a TON of parts the 350 has that the 460 cannot use. none of the F series stuff is compatible etc etc...

i saw designo had the tanabe stuff on his 460 so i went for it

Nice, looks clean and flows very nicely.....nice to get a feeling of what mine will look like next week...silver, the drop and the wheels...I just ordered Vossens and DF's am going silver finish, first time I am stepping away from chrome in my life...love it but maybe I am growing up he he!!! Those are the NF's huh...it looks low enough to me, I hope I won't be unhappy with the DF's being too low....and hope I don't have to roll the fenders....whats all involved with rolling them anyways????

Rolling the rear fenders on these cars is a ***** what happens is the fender will dimple were the welds are and the Lexus paint isn t very flexible and even heated up will crack up and peel this is why most of us shave the fenders so that we don t have those issues.

I'm glad you said it. It I said it someone would be saying I am trying to cause trouble.

Now for the trouble - I wouldn't do either. I can't stand the thought of cutting up my beautiful GS. But if you just have to do it get a professional who will be responsible in case of issues.
