Default Pics: F-Sport wheels with black caliper paint

PICS UPDATED! For those who are wondering how that looks, sorry about the crappy iphone photos, just got it install today... added more pics below with a better camera but the sun wasn't cooperating





I am very happy with the results

on another note, the installer put 32 psi on all four of them. What would be the ideal tire pressure for the 19 inch? Not sure if that is kinda low

Damn. I like. I hate the small calipers that come with the 250 T_T so small and boring.

I've always been a " red " caliper guy but seeing yours in Black with the white LEXUS logos have me thinking of trying it in that combo. It should hide the dirt much better than the Red look !! Looks great !

G2 paint also, and decals i just got from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...#ht_1591wt_939
I actually didn't paint mine as I would like, lots of texture line on the paint if you look really close (like from 3 inches).
Maybe I am just too ****, but overall I am satisfy the wheels match
