Finally the wait is over: Installed Five Axis Design Wheels & Yokohama Advan Sport
Hello CL Gang!!!
Those of you who missed the original story see here:
2008 Five Axis Choice Award Winner @ Toyotafest!!!
.. now the story continues..
About two weeks after Toyotafest 2008, I had the pleasure of visiting Five Axis Design here in Southern California..
All I could say was "WOW" every time I turned a corner...!!
Troy Sumitomo and his Design Team are all Great people and it was truly an amazing experience visiting & meeting them.
While there, I got to look over the new FIVE:AD Wheel Line and it was a really tough choice for me… Especially the color and offsets. I had the help of a few good friends, family & Troy himself of course.
That day I made my choice and felt over all the wheel color & design I picked would best fit the look I have been wanting on my IS350. (on paper at least)
Finally, after a few more weeks my new wheels & tires arrived..
Simply amazing once I saw them waiting to be installed and even more amazed once they were On...
The car simply transformed.. !!
Here are the tech specs:
~ FiveAD Wheel: S5:F
~ Color: Gunmetal
~ Front Wheel: 19x8.5 / 30mm offset
~ Rear Wheel: 19x9.5 / 35mm offset
~ Tires: Yokohama Advan Sport
~ Front: 235/35/19
~ Rear: 265/30/19
Small Details:
~ Custom color matched: TPMS sensors & One off Lic. plate frame
~ Black Anodized Rays Lug nuts
Troy himself was involved in the Install & Test Drive.
Very Nice Personal touch..!!
Enjoy the before, during & after pics…

Again a Very Big THANK YOU to Troy and the Five Axis Design Team!!!

Many thanks to ALL involved in this entire process...
