Default My IS350

Hello I own the IS350 mentioned in this thead and to answer some?

The wheels do not come with center caps/tried several options from volk none fit so fair, still looking wheels had too be made to order from rays/volk japan

I have had several size/offset wheels on this car and I like the ride and stance the best with the 19'' on the car now

The paint matches, nobody ever mention the paint not matching on the ings kit the car was very dirty when the guy took pics

Headers are actual turbo manifolds yes custom turbo a prototype in development

stereo full alpine hub pro in progress/ greddy eo1 boost control

there are to many more parts suspension brakets bushings new diff lsd ect.

I highly like ings fits perfect- endless brakes a bit overkill really really brakes hard and fast- zeal suspension is the best I have tried most other and zeal is the best- jdm sidevisor are great give a different look, the car is not finished still more to come, while the cars looks is not for everyone I love it and wouldn't change it

That's because you have to order the Gram Lights center caps - the ordinary Volk center caps won't fit. You have three color choices - gray, black, or gold.



Nice car, BTW...

Yes I have tried these as well the chrome paint material on the wheel affects the rubber o ring on the caps making them slip as in no bite and fly off on free way I hate to glue them on Im working with volk they have different o rings to try thank you for your idea.

Agreed. ING Kit only looks good in dark colored cars IMO. I honestly won't even use it at all. Too bulky!

But to each their own. I sometimes have pretty bad taste..


Nice car BTW, I would keep everything except the kit. OEM Lip Kit is the way to go!

Have you really tried them? Because I have the same wheels as you, and the caps are really tight - I almost had to hammer mine into the wheel they fit so tight. In fact, right when I purchased them they told me at the store that it was supposed to fit that tight so they wouldn't fly off - you might want to give it another try...
