I love the look of those rims and the price is amazing! I can't wait to these on your car. I keep thinking that some well known wheel shop will make a wheel with a similar design.

Also look at what I found. I will add a screen shot tomorrow to preserve the image. LFA wheels being sold on an is350

Default Pics -- finally!

Here are the long awaited pics. And I will add, don't rely on NTB to order tires for you. If they don't have them in stock, walk away and place an order with Tire Rack and carry them in to get mounted up. (Maybe my bad experience is only with my local store--bunch of rookies.) Anyway...

My car is on F-Sport springs and the tires are Summitomo HTR Z III's at 225/35-19 front and 255/35-19 rear. No rubbing issues at all and and I'm very happy:






I decided to clear coat just the flat surface of the front calipers...I was going after an OEM look and I like the results (and the silver Lexus logo goes great with the wheels):






When it's time for a new set of tires, I think I'm going to go with 235/35-19 fronts and 265/35-19 rears. Heck maybe even 245/30-19 and 275/30-19 would work on these rims...
