Default Installed New Wheels / Painted Calipers / Rotors

Finally got the time to do this. I replaced my Vossen Wheels with 20" COR Three Piece Forged Wheels. I also installed the painted calipers and rotors.

Thanks Romini. I have the Admiration front and rear lip as well as the Wald roof spoiler sitting in the garage. I am waiting for the paint code to be available so that I can have the dealership paint it.

I will definitely lower it as soon as the springs/coilovers are available,

Normally, I would not. I work for the largest private distributors of Toyota. We also own the #1 Lexus dealership (volume) in the world. They have their own paint and body shop that is amazing (plus I get a few perks).

If you have nothing good to say then keep you PC in the off position.



GS430raj, I think your new wheels look awesome. Love the color of the car also. Would you mind telling us how much you paid for them?

Nice job!!!!!

please calm down a little bit there. the OP posted a picture, so everyone is entitled to their opinions. while i think saudi could have been more constructive, but he's just posting his opinions.

i think all of us should be more open to other opinions, at least try to. i posted pictures of my cars due to requests, and i take both positive and negative comments just fine.

let's get along with each other and move on

raj, you work for toyota huh? well that explains a lot

Looks good! Where did you get the Lexus decals for the calipers? And how did you "paint" the rotors? Are you referring to the inside portion of the rotors because the vast majority of a rotor cannot be painted. Is the inside portion even noticeable?

I've seen this model of Cor wheels in person a few times. At first, I didn't know whether or not I liked the little round part at the end of the spokes. It's grown on me. I see it as being something different than plain 5 spoke wheels. In person, they have that look of high quality so I give them the thumbs up!
