looks great! good color combo. 
as far as the wind noise, this seems to be a common Lexus problem.
the older gen Lexus LS had well documented wind noise, my 13' GS had wind noise, and although a lot less, my 15' GS has slight wind noise as well even with the dual pane windows.

I may, as an alternative, get the Michelin X-Ice 3 - 255 / 45 / R18 103H
As far as the 18" rim, i chose this one: http://www.1010tires.com/Wheels/Tour...ed/Matte+Black. The picture is kind of faded, they look much better in person.
Still need to make sure if the offsets / rim bolt patterns are compatible.
I will post back when I have something on the car....

Thanks! It looks really good!
I hear the wind noise, but only sometimes...when you open the car's doors, the window opens up about 5-10 mils., and when you close the door, the window goes back up.
It may or may not have something to do with when the window goes back up on door close. /theory
Going to get the car CQuartz'ed tomorrow. Paint, Trim, Windows, Headlamps, Backup camera, Side Mirrors. Because F&^K winter weather!
Also, ordered my new personalized license plate. I can't say what it is tho.. but its pretty "BAD"-***

Thanks for the details. Really appreciate it. 
Please do post how RC-F handles the snow with your winter setup. That would be very helpful for people who live in areas where it snows. Thanks.

I'm getting a non-staggerd setup - 235 / 40 / R18... The tires that i wanted (Michelin Alpine) were out of stock... they'll be in next week.

I have 1000+ KM on the car and they still squeak at very low speeds. I don't keep the windows down, so I don't know if its gotten any better in terms of noise.
