3GS wheel thread
#1444
One thing I did encounter, did you guys have problems getting 245/30/20 size tires that meet the cars load rating? Most don't and I had a hard time finding anyone to install without meeting the load rating due to liability.
After research, it appears the car can hold 800 lbs of people and cargo, which I will never get close to carrying, thus the nominal difference in load rating is a non issue, but finding a shop to install is the challenge as the chain stores won't touch it. Good thing smaller shops won't care or know, but definitely a hassle.

G35 Stocks
Finally got my 2010 Hybrid and I just threw on my wheels from my 04 Acura TL... Powdercoated Magnesium Blue G35 Forged Stocks 19x8.5 +33 all around. Actually I think it looks pretty cool because of the blue accents of the hybrid. Also the Michelin PS3's 245/35/19 feel so damn good and quiet! These rims and tires are 10 lbs lighter then the stocks and it feels faster as well. the 20" wheels are waiting to go on as soon as my other back rim comes in. Comments are welcome and yes i have my df210's sitting in my garage as well.

I also threw on my new 20" TSW Mirabeau wheels just to see what it would look like. i have 20x9 +30 in the front and 20x10 +40 for the rears. I'm not trying to go to aggressive due to work/dd but I test fit my 20x10 +40 in the front to see if it would clear and no dice! It hits the brake caliper barely but a big NO NO is that it really hits the shock mount and I didn't even tighten the lugs to see. I think a 5mm spacer may be perfect and clear everything but again that is just to aggressive for me at this stage. I posted this up just for those people that want to do this! Good luck.

Oracle Lighting in New Orleans did all of my lighting. I'm talking about daytime lights,low beam ,fogs ,reverse,trunk pods and etc. There only about six bulbs in the entire car that aren't oracle. Most lighting they have done on any Lexus. Those are color changing halos in the fogs and wheels. Beacuse I did so much lighting I got a better deal . So my price is only a estimate for someone else. I would say between $800 -$1000 installed. Appreciate the comments

I have 2 questions for you LexLova: 1. Can any body shop paint my calipers like that/ and 2. What website did you order those wheels from? The way I see it, wheels are wheels. If I walk into a wheel shop and saw these wheels and liked them I'd buy them regardless of the name. Besides, I to plan to put the L at the center of any wheel I buy anyway.
