Wow, he has a lot of posts, but I finally found one that shows his car:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...my-2013-a.html

I assume it's not lowered, although he didn't say and I couldn't find a post saying he did or didn't. It looks nice, though. Not too flashy.

Anyone know for sure his isn't lowered? I couldn't find a post about the wheel size and offset he used. I sent him a private message, hoping to hear back unless anyone here might know.

For 100% sure it is not lowered.

Rhambler

Thanks SW15LS!

It's actually not bad. Don't want anything too gaudy and I would prefer to maintain that "factory" look, but just want slightly larger wheels.

I asked him about the offsets he used. I don't want staggered either.

I wonder how the ride comfort is with 20s on stock suspension?

SW17LS

I know he's pretty happy with the ride quality. I mean, jut physics but there's going to be a considerable drop in ride quality. Even with the factory 19s vs the factory 18s I could tell a difference that wasn't insignificant, which is why I sought out the 18s.

Rhambler

Hmm, thanks.

Yeah, that extra sidewall definitely does help.

Man, our car is comfy to say the least. One of the reasons I chose this over the A7 or anything else for that matter. I love it, like a living on wheels.

But, I also wouldn't mind +1 or +2 wheels. I guess there's trade-offs to everything. Hopefully he responds to my PM.

I have 20" in a staggered set up. Ride quality did not suffer much. I run 18" winters and I don't notice much difference. I'm not lowered either.

If you want comfy like stock......or ride quality like stock......why not stay stock ?

Rhambler

Well, I spoke with Sydtoosic and he also mentioned that the ride changes between stock and 20 inch wheels was minimal to marginal with stock suspension.

Thanks everyone!

Just need to find the right rims, which is proving a lot more difficult than I imagined. I might actually get black rims, gloss black or gloss graphite. Think I might stay away from matte finishes, although bah, can't decide lol.

I may just stick with 19 instead of 20s, but again, still haven't decided as the 20s on Sydtoosic and Roadfrog's look rather nice.

The reason I changed my mind about the black rims were because of these pictures I found online:









While my car isn't that F-sport white, it's eminent pearl white, I still kind of like that look now that I've seen it. But, the only thing that makes me nervous is that my trim is all chrome, and not blacked-out like that F-sport, so eh, who knows what I'll get. I'll definitely post pictures once I'm done.

Here is a direct photo of Syd's car, 20 inch rims on stock suspension.

I think it looks great and clean! That gap is fine by me.

Hopefully he doesn't mind me cutting and pasting this from his other post.

20" rims on stock suspension. Beautiful, nice and clean.

Rhambler

What color would you say the oem 18 inch wheels are, for the 2016?

It's hard to describe. Kind of chromish, but darker. Like a bright titanium maybe. Anyone know what it's called?

SW17LS

They're like a "hyper silver"

Rhambler

Actually, I stand corrected. In the press release it just lists high-gloss, not hyper, but it does look like the color below imo.

In looking at my wheels, at least in the garage, it most closely matches this color:

I may find rims that most closely matches this.

SW17LS

Whatever they call them is pretty meaningless. they're a dark silver, not the typical light silver.

Rhambler

Yep! I agree, it is a "dark" silver. I actually like the look.
