Default i took the rohana rc5 concave plunge .... i like em :-)

hey whats up guys i decided to be different and go with the rohana rc5 concave rims. i was tired of my chrome rims so i wanted a machined finish with chrome lip. kinda miss my 4 inch lips from my chrome rims but the concave rims where something i have wanted for a long time.
i went with 20x9 et+35 in front 225/35/20 tires and 20x10.5et+40 in the rear 275/30/20 tires

gonna drop the car with my eibach springs i got in the garage. i cant go to low cause i pick my clients up from the airport alot in this car and i really doubt they want to ride in a slammed lexus. and my wife would destroy the front lip lol.

and thanks to kris at gotoracing .... he is a awesome vendor took the time to talk to me about offsets and getting me the right setup for me.

i am not the best photographer but i tried to get the best shots i could to show the product. only changes i am making is i have some left over lexus brake decals and some left over verde ithaca lambo paint from painting my friends calipers. so i am thinking of going lambo green for my calipers...and once these front tires wear out i am gonna get some 235/35/20 or 245/30/20 so the tire covers the lip on the front . dont really like strecthing them.

if anyone knows a good place to get my fenders pulled a tad and rolled let me know. i am here in west/sw houston area. my back tires rub on hard bumps. but i have no fender mods there. just in front i heat gunned the liners.

yeah gonna drop it after the fender pull and roll in the rear. didnt want to mess anything up today cause it sounds crazy when you hit a decent dip or bump

Not sure if you're on our regional Facebook page, but find "club Lexus - Houston" on FB, they'll find you somewhere near by for fender work. I'd say just use the regional section on CL but it's super dead.
