Default Finally, new wheels!

Good morning, Club Lexus people!
I been hanging around this forum for a while now, but never had anything to show - until now that is!

Finally got around to installing the new wheels and snapping a few crappy phone pictures, so here goes.
This is my LS430 2004 CL, so the idea is to make it even more custom and even more luxury, if at all possible.
I installed photosync 55% tint all around - except the windshield.
Wheels are Garson 19", tires Michelin AS/3 225/40, lowered on RSR down springs.
With these springs the wheel gaps look even, i.e. more drop in the front and little in the rear.
Also, matching Garson exhaust tips, to further the "bling" theme.
Next, I will be installing speakers and stuff....

That wheel/tire combo fits pretty nice... but does it impact the luxurious ride the OEM set up gave you? I have the same car with the sport suspension.

I have the same paint and have been looking at wheels like yours.. Looks good! The exhaust tips look a bit out of place.. like dryer ducts. As long as you like it then cool. Take my opinion with a grain of salt. Thanks for the pics.
