No TPMS lights or any non sense. I love the wheels, although Lexus center caps are a must, I had a guy in traffic today ask me what kind of car I was driving because he thought it was a hyundai.

^Thanks for the info!
Now here's a little teaser after weeks of work put into fixing the curb rash, primer, Duplicolor hyper silver paint and clear, and a cut and buff :
Not too bad for my first DIY wheel painting job in a garage! Took my time, did everything by the book; probably have 20+ hrs into them. But the fact that it was a DIY job, it only cost me ~$50 in paint/primer/sand paper. Already had the Acetone.

Oh, and I almost forgot; below are the pics from my DIY Lexus ES300 center cap mods for the Track wheels.
Here's a shot from the top of the cap :
Here's a shot of the "extra" plastic on the base of the cap one will need to shave off in order to make the caps sit flush against the wheels :
Lastly, here's a shot of the tabs where one will have to mod in order get the caps to fit securely into the center bore on the Track wheels :

So last night I temporary installed two wheels to see what they will look like on my car plus figure out what my clearances might be on the rear wells. The fronts I'll not be too worried about, I know I'll end up needing to do the bumper tab and I'm currently not running any liners. So no problems there. The rear though I had to see it for myself just how much room I really had under compression. Looks like I'll be sticking with my initial thoughts of running a 245/35 tire. Fronts will be 225/35s. Here's some pics I took; enjoy!
Fully uncompressed :
Side-profile shots (no rear spacer) :
FULLY compressed via the LCA :
As you can see, I've got a finger's width of room from just the picture; and that's without the wheel being truly 100% compressed. So actually I'll have MORE room when compressed more during cornering.
