I see your friend has an IS250 with the IS350's front brakes. Is it a direct swap? Any issue with abs, vdim, brake fluid levels/pressure, etc?

offsets are kinda high so they dont look flush. i would lower the car the minute i get wheels.

but the wheels themselves look nice.

I love these wheels, not matte black finish but the wheels themselves. I'd rather see them shiny or gloss black. Still, hot stuff!

I think the wheel design itself is awesome....and not because I have a set. It think the color sorta takes away from the pattern.
