Post Pics of my IS350 with ERS GTC01 Ultra Silver 19"

Finally I did it. Somo of you might remember my previous post were I was considering painting my GTC01´s since I did not liked the Hyper Black color. Well after working with the body shop in selecting the right mix for the color, its done... we named it Ultra Silver .

The outcome was what i expected, it looks more clean and the wheels look bigger. I was looking something that looks different but factory like.











Previously with the Hyperblack color:

Man, I thought they looked great in Hyper Black. It made me think if I bought new rims those are what I would get. I think silver matches the body color too much.

Very nice! I think those are the perfect rims if you want something a bit different and more aggressive while retaining the "stock" look. The Ultra Silver matches well with your silver car. The Hyper Black would be perfect for the darker color ISx50's (thats the color Im going to get for my Black Sapphire Pearl).

Did you notice and difference In ride quality (road noise, stiffer ride, fender rub, etc) with this new setup compared to stock? Also, what kind or lowering springs did you get?

No problems at all. Tanabe NF springs no difference in ride confort, actually it seems the Toyos feel softer that the stock dunlops.

check full specs and more hyper black pics in my original post at the Wheels and Tires thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...=gtc01&page=67

Still, with those offsets, I can't believe you're not rubbing in the front.

BIG improvement in my opinion.

It looks like it should be an OEM option!

who knows Enkei makes the OEMs wheels, so it might in the future

What i like the most is the, since the wheel only weights 23lbs, performance doesnt suffer.
