Default The secret rims are revealed! Got the dubs on my IS. (plus updated pics - merged )

Well guys, I got them on this morning and went straight to my dealership.

They are Giovanna Ararat's with black caps. I'm running a staggered setup 20x8.5 and 20x10 on Toyo Proxes T1Rs. 235/30/20 front, 275/30/20 rear. I just need to add the black caps on tomorrow to finish the look. Here's a sneak peak though.



I don't care for the last two too much but they show the rims better.






I am having only one problem, and this is what scared me the whole time. I specifically told my dealer I don't want to have any "check system problems". After about 10 miles of driving the light came on and will not go away now. The sensors were registered by a Lexus dealer so I don't see why they came on, but they did. Now I'm concerned the service department isn't opened on the weekend and I need to get this fixed.

Please pardon the last two shots as they were taken with friends cell phones. I'll be able to take actual photos tomorrow.

Please warn people before you post so much chrome on one car ....I needed to run downstairs and put my sun glasses on just to get a better view.

That being said, not my pot of tea, but thats just my 2 cents.

A little too much for me, but I wish you the best with them and as long as you like them, that is all that matters. On side note, they look like they are going to be a b*tch to clean.

Actually chrome is really easy to clean. I just add water and dry them that's it. I don't polish my chrome and it's always stays looking good.
