I seen these in person a coupe of days ago. But they were on a SGM IS250. Passenger side wheels were silver driver side wheels were black, lol. They looked good and the fitment looked pretty good as well. I didnt ask about them though. I was there picking up another set of Rotas for my cousin.

ok, I'm on my mac and I can totally see how they appear to be photochopped, but yea, we only used photoshop to change the contrast on the wheels to make the pop....not sure if the customer is on the forum or not but either way it's a real car and the fitment you see on that car is exactly what it looks like in person because it's on the car lol

I can send or raw files to anyone who wants them or I can post the unedited pictures on monday when I get back into the office.

I'm sure the people who know us (wheeldude) would know that I wouldn't post a photochopped picture of wheels on a car and them claim it's real lol

I'll shoot the customer an email to see if he's on the forum, I'm sure he'd be more than happy to chime in if he is

They are available in Lexus fitment...they are posted on the car...if they were only available for BMW fitment you wouldn't see them on this car

People do shady things to get a sale, like chop wheels out a bit farther or spruce them up a bit to make them look better.

If they aren't p-shopped, then those are really good fitment. Tires just look way too off and look shopped.
Like I said, it's edited for contrast on the wheels, it looks like a good edit on my coworkers PC at work, but looking at it on my mac it doesn't look so great lol.

Nothings edited, no false advertisement here, that's not the type of company we are...at all.

Thanx!

(Nice wheels!)
Unfortunately it's a customer car and lighting was terrible after he got his wheels installed and we did the best we could

I'll see if we can edit the pix a little better when we get back in on monday

see above

people do that all the time, you can obviously see the US plates on top of the euro plate.

back on topic, these wheels do look much wider than the normal wheels you guys usually make. looks nice though

Tein comfort coilovers...if you look at the front wheels it looks nothing like the gap of a stock suspension

I've seen it more commonly with BMW's that were purchased via the european delivery program.

So that's actually lowered huh? Is it just the black color that's making the wheel look so large? Makes me think they are 20's.

It's the fact that the wheel doesn't have a lip, so the wheel tends to look larger

same situation here on my car:


same situation, even with the black:

Hey Zoeb,

Thanks for posting the pics! Although, I have to agree with some of the members, my car looks chopped. I'm sure its not chopped, just bad lighting. Cuz we know how sick they look in person.

I'll try to answer some of your comments...

1. First and foremost, thanks for your feedbacks!
2. This is the first time I've ever seen a photo of my car, so its really great to read your comments. Always a learning process when it comes to modding. And thanks to your contructive criticism, I removed the vinyls. My car looks much better now.
3. The tires are too beefy for the LC818...it rubs like crazy. So I'm going to replace with smaller size this week.
4. I have TEIN CS. The pics don't represent the drop too well. In person it sits perfect - flush and aggressively wide!!
5. I'll schedule an actual photoshoot with Zoeb. With better background and lighting. Cuz these wheels are so f#cken sick in person, that I can't thank Zoeb enough for suggesting I go with these wheels. IMO - the wheels look so right on the IS.

In addition, I never like black wheels, until now!! Every single person that has seen my car can not believe how nice the wheels look on the IS.

-DeXterr

EDIT: PICS DO NOT DO JUSTICE!!!
