Default GS400 + iForged Technik = PIC's (lots of 'em)

I got the wheels installed yesterday but it was nasty out. I got up this morning and had a quick photoshoot. I really really like my wheels. When the guy let the car off the jack, there were 3 of us standing there, and we ALL (including the tech) said "DAMN" out loud!!! LOL. There were a few folks coming into the service bay just to get a look as well.

I wanted to give the high polished a try (coming from chrome), and I'm very satisfied with them, they are quite brilliant!! The lip action is also nice, and the reflection of the spokes off the rear lip is great.

I wanted to try a different style of wheel, I was looking to keep a little of the luxury appearance while adding some aggression. And I did not want to just get the same wheel that someone else had, I kinda wanted to take things in a different direction. I took a chance on a wheel I'd never seen on a Lexus, but I'm very satisfied with the results.

Overall, to say I'm very happy is an understatement. I fell in love with my car all over again at the carwash last night! LOL

Here are some pics, the shop did not have the shallow lugnuts, so I'm using the regular ones that stick out in the rear! LOL, will be fixed on Tuesday

Default I was just looking at your pics some more and......

I noticed some negative camber...I guess when your sitting that low you have to pay the price..Can you take some pics from the back to see how much the rear tires sit in??? It still looks hot though!!!
