Talking Just got my Lexus (pics)

I flew down to Lexus of Manhattan and drove it back to Buffalo (6 and half hour drive) on Thursday. 2007 IS 250 AWD Starfire white, 19k miles fully loaded with Navi and black interior. Apparently it was the owner of Lexus Manhattans car. Already has the full ground effects kit and lightly tinted windows which was nice. Ive been on the boards for a month or so as some of you know with all my questions which I greatly appreciate the input and response. I have 20's, redouts, hks drop in filter, going to do my calipers red with the white Lexus decal. I'm waiting to order my led puddle lights/led interior lights.




I still am a little confused on 2 things though....
One being what tire size I should get for my 20' they are 20x8.5 with a 40mm offset and I don't plan to drop the car (i know i know)
The other is my stock exhaust tips seem to be a little worn out and just need to be replaced. Any recommendations on tips/covers to get? I don't want to do a exhaust system.



My old car 05 Toyota Solara (Those are the 20's that will be on my Lexus... Zenetti Stellas)

Just to give you a heads up, most people on this forum will flame you for putting chrome 20's on your car. I have chrome 20's and learned how rare it can be to have someone appreciate it and give props for it.

Ultimately, you have to do what you like and not worry about what other's opinions are. The only advice I'd give on the tires is to not go bigger than 235/30 on the front and 255/30 on the rear.

Post some pics once the wheels are on.

Also, in case you didn't realize it, your current wheels are a hot commodity on this forum. They are called ISPs and I'm sure someone would buy them from you.

Congrats on the IS. As for the worn out exhaust tips, you can purchase the same OEM ones for usually around $40ish from CL's IS250 / IS350 / IS-F Classifieds section or try ebay
